Project Title: Echo Palace
Tagline: Where spooky aesthetics meet cozy coding challenges and interactive mini-games.
About the Project:
Echo Palace is an interactive web platform that blends "haunted-kawaii" aesthetics—pastel ghosts, gothic pixel art, and synth-wave vibes—with gamified coding challenges and arcade-style mini-games. Designed to make learning logic and code approachable and entertaining, players explore different rooms of a virtual palace, solving algorithmic puzzles and playing retro-inspired games to unlock new levels and companions.
Key Features:
Interactive Haunted Rooms: Navigate through themed chambers, each hosting a unique coding puzzle or logic mini-game.
Gamified Code Editor: Write and test code directly in the browser to cast spells, repair broken palace machinery, and befriend pastel spirits.
Kawaii-Spooky Aesthetics: Custom UI/UX combining cozy, cute visual design with classic haunted house motifs.
Leaderboard & Badges: Track progress, earn collectible badges, and compete on speed-coding and high-score leaderboards.
Built With:
HTML, TypeScript, and CSS
What's Next for Echo Palace:
Expanding the palace with multiplayer co-op puzzle rooms, additional programming language support, and a custom avatar builder.

How much experience does your group have? Does the project use anything (art, music, starter kits) you didn't create?
Mild to moderate.
What challenges did you encounter?
Shortage of AI tokens, ideation, and somewhat of creativity, and how to make games: making a 3D game will easily take a minimum of 1 week. Even if we use AI to the fullest it will take a minimum of 1 week. There's the issue we encountered.
