Game Port

A video game library where users can search over half a million games.

Features

  • Instantly search for your favorite games or discover new ones
  • View the summary, Metacritic score, and other basic information for the queried game
  • Find other games in the series
  • Uses session storage to minimize requests sent to the API

Features To Be Added

While I designed this project to be very small in scale initially, these are features I would like to add at a later point:

  • A login portal
  • Add a game to a custom wishlist
  • Rating system
  • Drop a comment for a specific game
  • Convert load more button to infinite scroll
  • Increase browsing navigation endpoints (i.e., games by a certain developer, genres, etc.)

I had 3 main focuses for this project:

  • Increase design and CSS skills
  • Implement search functionality
  • Showcase ability to manipulate data from a 3rd party API
