Inspiration
We were inspired by both the unsatisfactory language learning school experience from our younger years as well as our shared multi-lingual-ism, each one of us coming from very diverse backgrounds.
What it does
It creates a new, fun approach for memorizing vocabulary by tailoring to how we naturally acquire our first language when we are born, visually through imagery instead of direct translation.
How we built it
Challenges we ran into
Refining the hand gestures and creating them in such a way that they feel intuitive but also don't conflict with one another.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We integrated a novel gesture drawing system along with real time guesses that run locally in the browser in real time. We polished the UI as well as did some hand drawn doodles for the start page. We also spent the first 6 hours planning which led to us having a streamlined implementation process.
What we learned
It is not a waste to spend long times planning as we were able to be coordinated during the implementation. We also learned how to play to each other's strengths.
What's next for Langdoodle
We believe we created a very solid software and we can definitely see ourselves pursuing it further and developing it more securely with more time to refine features.
