Summary
This site allows you to search for information on games, including boxart, summaries, ratings, and the lowest prices. It gathers data from multiple APIs to give the most concise data in a small, easy package. The intention of this site is to provide quick information on whether a game sounds fun, and to give the best deal if you decide to buy.
My Contribution
This site was a solo project. I pulled data from the Giant Bomb, CheapShark, and Metacritic APIs, based on the user query, then packed the most relevant info into nice tiles. The "more info" request is there to speed up the initial search, not yet sending the full request until you ask for one specific game. This site also supports mobile, including a voice search feature.
Moving Forward
This project definitely helped me learn how APIs work, and how best to use them. I feel like the result is fairly clean and succeeds in its purpose, though not as well as other sites out there. It was a good experience, leaving me feeling like a better web developer, but I probably would not revisit this project. Too many sites do this same thing, but much better.
