Inspiration

  • Pierson College plays a game called Spoons every year. I wanted to make this a campus-wide phenomenon, but with such a large playing field, this is only possible with a futuristic app!

What it does

  • Pokemon Go meets Assassin. Your job is to tag your target. But someone else is targeting you, too! Take a photo of your target to eliminate them, and last man standing wins!

Features

  • Yalies.io integration: Sign up with your Yale email, and your photo is automatically pulled for your assassin to see
  • Locate your target: See your target's real-time location on the map, along with their photo and ResCo
  • Shop: get coins for keeping your location on. Use coins to buy powerups!
  • Photo tag: Take a picture of you tapping your target, and post it to the feed for others to celebrate!

How we built it

  • React Native; Firebase; Google Maps. Made for iOS and Android (Cross Platform 4 Lyfe).

Challenges we ran into

  • This was Eric's first time doing mobile app development with React Native!

Judging

  • If you have an Android, download the APK from devpost and adb install!
  • If you have an iPhone and it's in developer mode, see me and I can try to load the app to your device. No promises though, Apple is a pain.
