Inspiration

We wanted to explore the possibilities of the Cognitive Services Vision API and make people move around a little bit to explore their surroundings!

What it does

It is a simple game where you join in with your device using the UWP app and then you get a series of challenges. Each challenge is about finding and taking a photo of a specific object. If you manage to find the object and the picture is validated by the gaming server you get the next challenge! Finding better matching objects gives you a higher score!

How we built it

It is build using ASP.NET Core Web API, Azure SQL Database and a Universal app, code written in C#. The main work is done by the server calling into the Vision API.

Challenges we ran into

Lack of knowledge regarding changes from ASP.NET 4 to ASP.NET Core. Some minor issues regarding image transforms.

What's next for SnapFeud

Who knows... maybe a glorious future or the trashcan...
