Inspiration

People enjoy sharing their workout progress, but it's hard when you can't physically be with your friends all the time. Our app lets the user have their own tamagachi-inspired sprite that levels up/evolves depending on how much they work out. Your sprite is shared with your friends, so you can all keep up to date with how far you've come.

What it does

All we were able to implement was allowing the user's sprite to evolve based on steps walked. The sprite levels up based on how many steps were taken, using the Google Fit API

How

We used Android Studio to develop this app.

Challenges

Only one of us has participated in a hackathon, or even created an app before. We also had no idea what we were going to make before we got here. We lacked a lot of experience and spent probably 80% of our time just setting everything up, getting Firebase working, and connecting the Google Fit API.
