Islamic Learning website for the youth!
I built a fun islamic website for kids to learn the deen while playing
Asalamu aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, I have created a little project: https://ilmarena.co.uk/
The aim of the website is to make learning the deen engaging, especially for the younger generation who are used to dopamine heavy content.
The site works as: User chooses age range (which changes the question difficulty), User chooses solo or duo play, duo play is designed for phone/ipad/tablet settings where they would place it between each of them, first of the two players to tap the correct answer gets to play a mini game, within the mini game they can earn points for example 1 mini game is a shoot the moving target with an arrow. If they hit the bullseye they will receive 5 points, hitting the target alone would be 1 and not hitting would be 0. First to 15 points wins.
The questions revolve around the basics of Aqidah and Fiqh to try and establish the basics.
Tech Stack: Flask (don't judge my terrible choice ahaha), javascript (game logic, UI), Docker, deployed using AWS lightsail currently (I understand the lack of ownership and elasticity with this but was the cheapest option), basic monitoring with Prometheus & Grafana.
Beyond this I know I need to increase my question bank and consult scholars to check, perhaps add some background sound however I am not sure what I'd add as I don't want to add the Quran especially if it will not be listened too attentively, perhaps a poem like the poem which made Imam Ahmad cry? Think about accounts too, however perhaps accounts will remove the ease of picking up a tablet and playing.
I'd love any honest feedback as this was just an evening build and any feature ideas Id be more than happy to implement to try and help the muslim youth be more attached to the deen.
JazakAllahu Kheyran.
