Globle

Inspiration

Global is a mobile application inspired by the popular browser game that surfaced recently - Wordle. We want to create a daily wordle-like experience while encouraging people to step outside and meet up in person.

What it does

Every day a new challenge is assigned to each user, and their task is to reach the designated area.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

Finding the direction your phone is pointing and transfering data from the backend to the frontend especially in photo formats.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have the phone properly able to choose a location and able to point to the location along with a picture of where to go.

How we built it

Using Node.js, we built a backend using javascript and a server library Express.js. We created Get and Post endpoints to manage the data in our server and conformed with REST API protocol. The server manages functions such as generating the getaway locations, finding the user’s closest getaway, and getting a picture of that getaway.

What we learned

We learned where to distribute computations for the frontend and backend and how to do get and post request with the google maps api.

What's next for Globle

We want to refine the grid layout and possibly expand to other areas, not just LA. Furthermore, we want to refine the interactions with other users to have a more social experience.
