Inspiration
Drawing is fun. So I wanted to make an art competition app.
What it does
We send you a noun to draw
You and your competition have 30 seconds to draw that noun ... __ on your phone! __
We send your masterpieces off to Google Vision Services.
If those fine algorithms can make heads or tails of what you drew, we give you a few points
Highest combined score after 7 rounds is the winner!
How we built it
Python and C#. You know, I was at the foo bar last night, and some guy called C# dull. That may be true, but it still hurt my feelings a little bit. Anyway, we also used AWS EC2 instances to host our servers. AWS is pretty cool.
Challenges we ran into
Making a drawing app is hard
Making a game server is hard
But through the power of teamwork™ we overcame these challenges!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have a demo! And google can sometimes recognize the padlocks I draw. Also, it's on the app store! I can't wait for people to play tomorrow and crash the server.
What we learned
The Awake() function in Unity is magical.
Also, UI design is super annoying when it needs to work for every phone.
ALSO ALSO, drawing is really hard and Google is a very harsh critic.
What's next for RoboPicasso
That's a really good question!
