Camera Battle Royale

Inspiration

We were inspired by a youtube video where youtubers played this game, but kept track of who was alive manually.

What it does

It allows people to participate in a real life stimulation of the battle royale type game. Their camera is their weapon and they need to attack by taking picture of their opponents. The ultimate survivor is the winner. It is a form of entertainment that incorporate exercise and force players to step out of their home.

How we built it

We built it using App Inventor 2 and took turns coding. We did research and gave suggestions while the other person coded. It took a wide variety of the android's features to get the cameras, cloud database, and data handling to work

Challenges we ran into

We had troubled getting the host and the players to be on the same page and to interact well with each other. The interface limited the ways we could interact with the databases, which made syncing even more complicated.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting it to work as well as it does with such limited ability to test.

What we learned

We learned to successfully created a game with a cloud database in App Inventor 2.

What's next for Camera Battle Royale

We have many enhancements that we want to add like facial recognition, and let the players log in using their pictures. We wanted to add a map with the players' location for the host screen, along with time and area restriction. Team battle and second objectives are also coming in the future.
