Healthy Pet

Inspiration

Our team constantly struggles with maintaining a healthy lifestyle while attending a full stack of classes. This application is intended to help us serve those around along with ourselves.

What it does

The application utilizes a pedometer to keep track of the number of steps the user jogs/walk while keeping track of a virtual pet's health bar. If the user does not consistently maintain a minimum amount of movement throughout their day, their pet will faint. Other methods to keep the pet healthy to communicate with it via simple chat dialog. In order to restore the pet, the user would need to donate to a charity of the developer's choice.

How we built it

We used Unity and Blender to integrate and create our application.

Challenges we ran into

Maintaining a track of time as this was our first hackathon.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We completed a project that we feel proud of.

What we learned

We learned rather late that time management is of high priority.

What's next for Healthy Pet

Through updates we will be implementing we expect to add a full stack of pets besides the current horse. Further, a meal system will be implemented along with a calendar. We intended our app to be a lifestyle app which encompasses all key components of our daily life with a pet as an incentive. Further, having the user donate when the horse faints serves the community as a whole as the user donates to a charity of our choice. Through updates more charities and choice will come for the user.
