The task for the final project of the class "Creative Coding 1" was to create something which makes use of one of the topics we discussed in class. I wanted to explore the topic of "uselessness" a little more in depth and created an entirely useless web waiting room experience to be able to focus on the development aspects of the project.
Once the users click "Take a number", they will be taken into the waiting room.
They will be assigned a randomly generated number, which is "printed" onto the piece of paper held by a hand in the lower right corner. The user "wins" if they wait until their number is called by the waiting number system in the upper left corner.

The minimum possible wait time is 28 hours & the maximum possible wait time is around 16583 hours (1.9 years).
The mean value lies at a waiting time of approx. 346 days.

This project was quite challenging for me, as I got introduced to "web stuff" for the first time this semester.
I struggled quite a bit to make it work. It is FAR from being pretty, but honestly that also wasn't the goal. It was a fun exercise and I'm looking forward to using more "web stuff" in future projects.
