Grocery List

Inspiration

Grocery shopping is often seen as a chore and we spend a lot of time in the grocery store, so we wanted to create a product to make this task easier, more cost effective, and less time consuming for you.

What it does

Our mock up app asks the user what groceries they want from every section and sorts their inputs by the layout of the store. We stored the prices from our hypothetical store in our code and at the end, it also totals up all the groceries that they want.

How we built it

We first came up with our ideas and wrote pseudo code for the classes and methods needed. We then programmed in JAVA and used Eclipse to run our code.

Challenges we ran into

We struggled with an error message on Friday and didn't know how to fix it but we figured it out on Sunday morning. Otherwise, we just had small problems with figuring out how we would write our code.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created a successful code for our first Hackathon. We've never been to a Hackathon that was so flexible and allowed us to make whatever we wanted, so this was a very awesome and new experience.

What we learned

We learned how to take an idea, brainstorm solutions, and create code. In our CS classes, we don't have the flexibility to make our own code as we often have to follow requirements from the school, so being able to think on our feet and change up the idea as we code was an amazing experience.

What's next for Grocery List

If we had more time, we would create a graphics that would display the store layout and the list/total price next to it. We would also allow the user to choose from different stores. (this would ultimately change the layout of the store and the order of the final grocery list)
