The problem CODIV-91 solves

Providing people with a platform to keep up to date with the current pandemic in an amusing manner.
Amid the pandemic, there is a lot of misinformation and lack of awareness amongst the masses.
To tackle this issue, and provide the people with the relevant information in a fun manner we are developing a small game.
Our game puts the user in the shoes of a world leader which in turn makes them understand what a leader is going through in these conditions and makes them likely to follow the instructions being given in the current scenario.
We will also be introducing in-game currency and the money spent to purchase this in-game currency will be used for COVID-19 Response Fund and Post Pandemic Relief Fund.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into various problems while doing this project, being relatively new in development and that too collaborating remotely,
GitHub as helpful as it was initially a challenge, Discord was also a huge help in communicating with our teammates.
As far as a specific issue is to be considered it revolved around the cards being used in the game.
Flutter is one of the easiest technologies for app development it was still hard for us to make the cards work as they were intended to work. They still somewhat don't but on the visual aspect, we added animations.
To resolve most of this problem documentation of flutter and our deep dive into OOPS also helped, but we still have ways ahead to learn.
Also, finding open-source material for the app was difficult.
The initial API we were using did crash recently and even after fixing it the data it showed was incorrect, which made us panic but, we later countered this problem by using another API.
