Inspiration
Other awesome apps designed by innovative creators.
How it works
Uses satellite tracking to receive your location and share it with your friends. If your friend(s) is close to a dining hall, it will notify you when they enter and what dining hall they go to. Then it will tally up the number of friends in each dining hall (for the duration that they spend in the dining hall).
Challenges I ran into
Programming an android app for the first time ever and messing with the location features. We also royally screwed up our program and had to reboot from an older version. This took at least 3 hours.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Completing the app and finishing it. Having a functioning android app with a nice interface.
What I learned
A lot about programming. How to program android apps. How to use other IDEs other than Eclipse. How to analyse and write syntax in a different format that the one I'm used to.
What's next for Chris, Malone, and Tony's Beginner Hackathon Project
Presenting to the judges and then refining the program to improve performance/make the interface even better.
