Inspiration

Wanted to create an entertaining mobile game that can be played with friends in the real world, while collecting virtual objectives.

What it does

It is an Android app that multiple people can get on their phones to play together and race to capture the most flags.

How we built it

We used the Google Maps API, Java, and Flask with Python

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out how to find current location and continuously update it, figuring out how to get flask working so that we could keep track of player locations and scores, as well as losing teammates along the way.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Got most of the features working that we set out to accomplish. We only had two people for a majority of the project and were still able to work through and get our project done.

What we learned

Android Studio can be pretty frustrating to use, to say the least.
