Week 1

    For my senior project I am working with Sophia Spry to create a website where we review video games. The goal of this website is to make the gaming community more inclusive and accessible to everyone, highlighting the virtual connections that can be formed through gaming. We chose this particular project because the pandemic has forced us to connect with others online more, and we found video games were a great way to do this. However, while we had experience gaming a lot of our friends did not so it was harder for them to stay connected during this time. We want our website to help bring more people into gaming and form a more inclusive community online.

    My goals for this project are to 1) learn basic HTML and CSS to create a website, 2) learn more about game design and creation while focusing on accessibility, and 3) form connections with our peers.

    So far in the project we have been learning the basics of coding using HTML and CSS and hopefully by next week we will have our website up and running. Our first attempts at very basic code are pictured below. We've been learning how to create our website through various YouTube tutorials and websites.

    Next week we will start writing more reviews and working on getting our website up and running. If you have any recommendations of games we should review please leave a comment!
