Litter Legends: The Realm Awaits its Heroes

Inspiration

Every day, people walk past trash without acknowledging its impact. Litter is harming our world, and since humans are responsible, we need to take action before it's too late. Our inspiration comes from the idea that if we can make cleaning up fun, we can spark a movement that changes the world. But how? We knew that the key was making it engaging, which is why we created the game—Litter Legends.

What It Does

Litter Legends makes picking up trash fun, interactive, and rewarding.

How We Built It

We started with a vision board—an ambitious blueprint that evolved as we developed. We then brought our ideas to life using CodePen and other platforms, eventually pushing the project to GitHub.

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest hurdles was integrating MongoDB with the app and ensuring that the camera could successfully submit photos to the database.

Accomplishments we are proud of

We explored new technologies and learned that with a clear vision and strong ambition, any idea can come to life.

What we learned

Building an app is both time-consuming and rewarding. Throughout this journey, we learned how to use MongoDB, Kotlin, and GitHub to bring our vision to life.

What's Next for Litter Legends: The Realm Awaits Its Heroes

We plan to expand and enhance the app with exciting new features, including:

• Leaderboards to compete with friends
  
• Social connectivity to engage with others
  
• AI-powered trash identification to ensure authenticity
  
• Location-based rewards for different areas
  
• Recognition of trash size (e.g., plastic bottles vs. bottle caps)
  
• Customizable avatars for personalization
  
• Yearly recaps to track individual environmental impact
  

Litter Legends is just getting started, and we can't wait to see how it evolves! 🌍♻️
