Creative coding application for Materna with Meire and Meire. A visual ascii generator translates the code into text images.

Beautiful Code

🤔 Task
How can we build an interesting engaging process to find new IT talent and programmers for Materna?

💡 Approach
Materna Information & Communications SE is a worldwide leading IT provider and in constant search of new talent and employees. To make this process more fun and interesting we came up with the idea of creating a coding challenge.

🏁 Output
We built a four level gamified coding challenge. Each level consists of a few lines of code with errors and riddles to solve. The puzzles are visualised by a live ASCII generator and react to the user’s input.

This was a fun and unique opportunity to embed creative coding into an applied web environment. It allowed us to create an engaging and interactive platform for coding enthusiasts while showcasing Materna's commitment to innovation and talent acquisition.
