Inspiration

-We were inspired to build a meal generator because we are both passionate about cooking and enjoy trying out new recipes from different origins. -We used Swift because we both use Macs and iPhones and have experience working with Swift in the past.

What it does

-DishCovery pulls data from a free meal API that shows the user the picture of a cooked dish, its area of origin (nation of origin), it's category (chicken, beef, soup, vegan, etc..), as well as all of the ingredients required and detailed instructions for cooking.

How we built it

-We used Swift on the Xcode compiler -We built functions to access and manipulate the data in the API as well as to display it in our app -We used Swift for formatting graphics in an app.

Challenges we ran into

-Formatting H, V, Z stacks on Swift to correctly and accurately display data according to user input was took time to learn and implement -Using the API to get the data we want and graphically showing it in a way that the user is able to interact with it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

-We are both first years with limited experience outside of the classroom, so we're proud to have designed and created this software especially within the time limit. -Completing our first hackathon!

What we learned

-We learned how to import an API and manipulate its data for our use. -We learned how to integrate the API with swift and turn it into an app for people to use.
