Okay, so today I’m gonna walk you through what I did with “felipe contepomi”. Yeah, the rugby guy. Always been a fan, and recently I got a wild hair to build a little something around him, just for kicks.
First thing I did, obviously, was dive into Google. I mean, who doesn’t? Started digging up everything I could find – stats, game footage, interviews, the whole nine yards. I really wanted to get a good feel for his career, his impact, all that jazz.
Then, after drowning myself in rugby data, I started brainstorming. What could I actually do with all this info? I didn’t want some boring fan page. I wanted something interactive, something that could maybe teach people a bit about him and rugby in general.
I landed on the idea of building a simple quiz. You know, like “How well do you know Felipe Contepomi?”. Seemed achievable, and honestly, kinda fun. So, I started outlining the quiz questions. I tried to make them a mix of easy stuff for casual fans and some deeper cuts for the real rugby heads.
Next up, the actual building part. I’m no coding whiz, so I kept it super simple. Used HTML, CSS, and a little bit of Javascript for the quiz logic. I basically cobbled together stuff I remembered from online tutorials and Stack Overflow. Don’t judge!
For the HTML, I just set up the basic structure: a title, a section for each question with multiple choice answers, and a submit button. Then, CSS to make it not look completely hideous. Think basic colors, decent font sizes, nothing fancy.
The Javascript was the trickiest bit. I needed to make the quiz actually work – track which answers were correct, calculate the score, and display the result. After a lot of trial and error (and a healthy dose of Googling), I got it to a point where it mostly worked. There were definitely some bugs, but hey, it was a side project.
Once the quiz was “done” (and I use that term loosely), I threw it up on a free hosting platform. Just wanted to see if it actually worked on the internet. And surprisingly, it did! Kinda clunky, kinda ugly, but it worked.
Then I shared it with a few friends who are also rugby fans. Got some laughs, some complaints about the difficulty, and a few suggestions for improvement. Which, honestly, I probably won’t implement. But it was still cool to see people actually using something I built.
So yeah, that’s the story of my “felipe contepomi” project. Nothing groundbreaking, but a fun little exercise in learning and building. And hey, maybe I even converted a few more people into rugby fans along the way.
