Viral mobile games, data analysis, design,

What it does

We've created a viral android mobile game in which the user can compete against his friends in a 10-round price guessing match with bonus classification questions to spice up the game. Coins, & rewards await the victor. The item listings in the game are provided to the app based on real live ebay data. The interesting data from the game is for analytics purposes.

How I built it

Server: cloud infrastructure by AWS in python, data engine in java & ebay API, top notch design in Illustrator, app engine and development in Java Android, using libraries and services such as Google game services.

Challenges I ran into

Learning how to use the ebay API, get everything to work together.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We've set up a beautiful, working app with real data from a never-used-before API and impressive cloud infrastructure in less than 2 days.

What I learned

We've learned how to work together as a team, using complex APIs, developing good software in little time and setting up everything together.

What's next for Guess the price

Taking over the world. But seriously, continuing development to benefit ebay and it's many many users.
