⚓ Captain Morse | A simple but life saving app ⚓

What this app is about

Captain Morse is a little word-guessing game using Morse Code. The app outlines the imaginative situation where Captain Morse is on his boat and sinking due to a storm. Signaling ‘SOS’ in Morse Code does not work ( … ___ …) - so the urgent riddle is: Which message does work to the lives of Captain Morse and his desparate crew?

Goals of this project

As part of Codaisseur’s Web Development Bootcamp an assignment was given: build an app, with one fellow student, in one week, given the theme ‘Language and letters’.

Tech used in the project

• ReactJS for UI building (frontend only, no backend)
• the built-in web brower speech recognition engine for converting speech to transcript
• JS functions to convert transcripts to morse code
• the built-in tone generator to output Morse Code in sound
• timed displaying of 4 PNG images to render synchronous Morse Code ‘flashing’
