scran

Inspiration

We are poor uni students and a grocery planner would help us save money

What it does

It helps you to plan the meals you are going to eat ahead of time. It knows what food you have at home, and suggests purchases to make that will lead you to spend the least amount of money in the medium term.

How we built it

We split into frontend and backend. Ioan focused on creating a GUI, while I (tom) did the algorthim and database

Challenges we ran into

Graph theory is hard, as is making GUIs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The fact that the heuristic model actually works and is tested (problem effectively came down to knapsack), function cool looking GUI

What we learned

So much about how painful programming is especially using git
