My contributions to the project : This project was created with two other fellow student at LEARN Academy in San Diego, CA. I worked collaboratively with my teammate to design the ruby logic necessary to build a functioning game. We collaboratively developed the user story and custom Banker algorhythm. In addition I assisted with data framing and storyline creation.

Future Features: 1) Creation of countdown timer. 2) Addition of text animations.
