Hello! We are team ABRAcadAbra from Silicon Valley. Due to the CoronaVirus pandemic, for our project, we decided to focus on spreading awareness in our city and found a way to notify members of our community regarding the dangers and abundance of the virus at frequently visited places. Our goal was to inform people of the conditions of stores around them so that they can keep in mind how to better prepare for those places. We intended to show varying degrees of colors to represent different danger levels, with white representing low/zero risk, and red representing an intense amount of cases that were found in that area. Our intention for the app was to also give users a platform to share their own personal knowledge of cases in different locations. In order to do this, we used the Eclipse IDE, implementing our skills in JavaFX to include images, buttons, and a flurry of colors. We started out unaware of how to move forward, but after gaining momentum we were able to “MAP” out a plan and successfully carry out our project. We incorporated buttons for the users to use every time they heard of any cases in the area. In the background, we kept a running counter that would increase and change based on the data that the users presented. After a certain number of cases, there will automatically be a shift of color on a dot next to the location. This color change will notify the users the danger in that zone/marketplace. Overall the project had its ups and downs, but through teamwork we were able to create a baseline, hopefully expanding and improving the project in the future.
