Dynamic Pilgrim

Table tennis rankings hub for CoderFactory Academy

Co-developed with Sav Saville and Marlon Dimaano

Heroku App Trello Board for Planning

Rationale

Dynamic Pilgrim was created to take table tennis at CFA to the next level. We wanted a way to keep track of rankings and head to head matches, while learning Ruby on Rails.

Process

Before developing Dynamic Pilgrim, we thought through questions such as:

• How can we entice people to join the rankings?
• How can we make sure the point system works for all skill levels?
• Should we favour the lower ranked player?
• How can we incorporate payment systems that we've been learning?
• How do we handle the match result updating to make it sustainable?

Solution

A ranking website for CFA table tennis. Tiered subscription plan that gives access to extra features based on the subscription plan.
