HW-1:
Global Onomatopoeia Menagerie

Global Onomatopoeia Menagerie was inspired by the different accents that we heard during the in-class demos...and by emojis. Users can explore one of the five countries and see how each country represents the sound of animals: duck, rooster, dog, cat, frog. I originally wanted to do way more than 5 countries and include ALL the accents (per the available language tags), but soon ran into issues. Furthermore, I wanted to try using a different input rather than text, and when realizing I would need an on-hover change to indicate what the user was currently selecting, I was thrown headfirst into the world of interactive svgs. After manipulating them to change color on hover, I realized that my ambition of including all the accents was even more unfeasible since a lot countries (especially in Europe) became hard to differentiate and push accurately. Thus, from a usability standpoint considering, if the main medium of selection was through the map itself, it ended up being a little easier to have fewer options.

I tried deploying the code to Heroku, but then my sounds broke...

But it works on Github Pages:
