Snack Picker

Ever hungry and wanted a snack but didn't know what snack to eat? Well this ghetto-af program which is a "proof of concept" helps you solve that problem by asking for what you want in your snack. :)))

Inspiration

Basically we tried making a phone app game based around manhunt that would reward running and moving around, but I can barely code in Java so it failed cause it was mad complicated. So, we had the idea while hungry to suggest to you ideas

What it does

Provides a convenient way to help people decide what they are in the mood to eat based on the characteristics of the food they want to eat.

How I built it

I have no idea. I used blueJ and Eclipse to write some scuffed code that:

  • gets input from the user based on 4 different categories.
  • converts that input into a code
  • compares that code to other foods with set codes
  • gets the food that has the most similar code to the inputted code.
  • return that food for you to eat

Challenges I ran into

  • my 2 brain cells thinking about skittles and sleep during the coding session
  • having no idea how to make this into a website
  • downloading 50 different IDEs to try to code Java on
  • learning the magic of GitHub
  • debugging for literally 3 hours because I'm STUPID

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • making code that actual works I hope I think

What I learned

  • Theres SO MANY CODING LANGUAGES, IDES, AND WAYS TO CODE THINGS THAT IT HURTS MY SMALL BRAIN
  • Google is your friend
  • Don't code without sleep

What's next for Snack Picker

  • Implement this code onto an app that is easier to use, more like button presses / check boxes instead of typing
  • Add more characteristics to choose from
  • get more foods to expand the food choices
  • Display information of where to buy the snacks like Amazon or a nearby store
  • Add options to search meals instead of just snacks
  • Not be messily coded in Java because Java SUCKS
