Apothecary

Inspiration

• Hackathon theme
• - Hyrule Compendium, from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom

What it does

• Given a picture it will analyze it and find it in a flower data base and inform the user about attributes. It is gamified, as picture taken of a flower not taken before will unlock the entry for the player.

How we built it

• Database: sqlite
• Programming language: Golang
• Fronten Library: charmbracelet/bubbletea

Challenges we ran into

• As the frontend is terminal based, how one handles the state and draws on the screen is significantly different from a web or application render.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Got the main application cycle running and set up the database.

What we learned

• Database management
• Go Programming Language (first time using it)
• TUI base libraries

What's next for Apothecary

• Go deep into the game aspect of it. Rendering the UI with a game engine is the first step.
• Discover Mode: Pictures unlock entries for you to grow your collection.
• Instant Mode: Unlock everything instantly so that you can eat the plants right away.
• Make it a mobile centered app to use camera.
• Use phone's proeccesor for learning on pictures taken.
• Actually use AI and neural networks.
• Just reached the point of taking an image and turning it into a matrix.
• Give more information about the flowers.
