Tech Stack
Background
At La Fosse Academy in the final project, we were required to solve the problem of our choice and we chose the lack of engagement in learning materials. To resolve this, we created an text based adventure game called City 72 in which users can play the game, and during their adventure they will have challenges to attempt which will test their knowledge on GSCE level knowledge.
The Game consists of a frontend that has been made in React; which connects with the backend and OpenAI to create the story. And the backend that includes the connection the database and the connection to OpenAI all made in the MVC Structure
