Immaculate Melee
About The App
Immaculate Melee is a daily web trivia game based on the viral sports trivia game Immaculate Grid, which originally centered around baseball. The theme of Immaculate Melee is the Professional Super Smash Bros. Melee scene.
The game features a 3 x 3 grid of cells. Each row and column is assigned a category. Players must try and guess what players fit the criteria in each cell based on the category of the row and column. They are given 4 guesses (stocks) to complete the game.
When a player makes a selection, a rarity score is generated based on the amount of times that player has been selected by other players. This score is added to their total rarity score in the game. If a player fails to make a guess for a specific cell, they are given 100 rarity score. This adds additional depth to the game as players can aim to achieve the lowest rarity score possible.
This project uses the MERN tech stack, primarily using MongoDB/Mongoose, Express, React, and Node.js. Additional technologies used include TypeScript, Redux, Firebase, and the Framer Motion animation library.
The primary sources of player data gathered for this project were from Liquipedia and Smash Wiki.
