Description

Team project that creates an API out of a online TSV. The API allows you to battle with two Pokemon from dataset. After a battle is completed It updates the win/losses respectively. The dataset and API are also hosted on the cloud.

Technologies Used:

• Python
• Pandas
• Flask
• Google BigQuery
• Google Cloud Storage
• Google App Engine
• Bootstrap
• WTForms

Programs used:

• Visual Code Studio
• Windows Terminal (Running: WSL2 (ubuntu 20.04))

Setup & Installation:

1. Through the terminal like GitBash

   1. Open the terminal and navigate to where you would like the new project to be using cd commands. Its also recommended that you make a new directory using mkdir *directory-name*.

   2. Clone the repository using the command git clone https://github.com/BriChavez/pokemon_battler.git

   3. After cloning the directory it will appear in the directory that your terminal is set to. So make sure you are in the directory that you want this project copied to.

   4. Once this project is cloned you can navigate to that folder within your terminal and create a virtual environment python3.7 -m venv *any-name*. Now activate the venv with source *any-name*/bin/activate

   5. Install requirements in venv pip install -r requirements.txt

   6. Download the data from Kaggle and place in the data directory.

   7. code . to open in default coding software.

2. Through GitHub.com

   1. Go to the project's directory page HERE

   2. Click the green code button to open the drop-down menu.

   3. At the bottom of the menu will have Download Zip. Go ahead and click it to download the project.

   4. Once downloaded find the .zip file and right-click it to bring up the menu. Within that menu click Extract Here to extract it in the current folder or click Extract Files...to select which folder you would like the project in.

Details

This project was an open-ended prompt to showcase the knowledge we have learned so far while enrolled in Data Stack Academy. As a team we decided to use a Kaggle Pokemon dataset to host a website API that allows the user to input two different Pokemon and have them battle each other. And also update our data with a win or a loss depending on the results of the battle. This project uses a myriad of tools to help us arrive at the goal. It uses flask to host the API, Google App Engine to host our created API and Pandas to code our data edits as user inputs happen. It also allows for us to query the data on Google BigQuery.

Known Bugs

• Currently are not able to deploy the app to the cloud.
