Inspiration

This project is heavily inspired by Jet Lag: The Game, a YouTube channel who plays large-scale playground games such as Tag or Hide and Seek across gigantic maps like Japan or the European Union. Also partly inspired by my own experiences on public transit on vacation in unfamiliar cities.

What it does

Depicts and tracks your location on a Google Maps API; populates landmarks and creates challenges through Google Gemini's API.

How we built it

All of the project was built in Flutter with help from Google Codelabs, Dart documentation, and Gemini.

Challenges we ran into

Initial development of the Google Maps base and location tracking software was quite difficult.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

AI location and challenge generating worked out much better than I thought it would.

What we learned

Mobile (Android) development, how to work with APIs, geolocation, async await.

What's next for Metrochase

Multiplayer servers, maps over different regions.
