Cutie Movie Finder

Inspiration

I was looking for the hottest show in the world at the time, Attack on Titan, on Netflix. I blazed through the first season in two days and was itching for more. I was in agony waiting for a second season until a bombshell hit me. There were more 3 more seasons, but Netflix only had the first! I was furious and wished there was something that could have informed me sooner. This is why my teammate and I wanted to make the Cutie Movie Finder, to save others from the agony I felt.

What it does

Out program uses an API called UTelly to search for movies and TV shows on all streaming services.

How we built it

We used Java because it was supported with UTelly and was object oriented, making the project easier to make. We also used Swing in order to create the GUI for the program.

Challenges we ran into

It was really difficult figuring out how to create the GUI because neither of us had much experience with it before.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have learned how to use an API and read JSON files.

What we learned

We learned how to sucessfully levarage an API while also learning how to utilize a JSON object file. Our GUI Skills also needed some polishing and this project helped with just that.

What's next for Cutie Movie Finder

Ideally, we would have liked to implement a cleaner looking UI for Cutie Movie Finder, but we ran out of time. This includes adding images along with the titles of the movies and shows as well as featuring trailers.
