  App layout

Inspiration

Our aim was to gamify everyday activity to encourage users to stay fit & healthy.

What it does

The app chooses a random nearby location as a destination. Users must reach the destination while avoiding the hazards randomly marked on the map.

How we built it

• Using Java & XML through Android Studio
• Designed mockups using Figma

Challenges we ran into

• Handling the Google Maps API
• Converting glassmorphism from Figma to Android Studio

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Nice design
• Fun concept

What we learned

• Google API documentation is poor

What's next for GeoQuest

• Incorporate more hazards
• Add customisation options to allow the user to set an approximate destination distance
• Multiplayer feature to allow users to compete with each other
• Animations
• Sound
