Inspiration

We love video games, and got inspiration from a game that use Google maps, and another old game that show messages as reward after.

What it does

This game select a state from US, then generates a riddle using Gemini and a well structured prompt, then with that, the user is challenged to answer correctly the riddle. To answer the riddle the user have to select the correct state, doing so, you can learn about tourist places all around US.

How we built it

We built this project using Google IA Studio, Django (Python), Bootstrap, JQuery, Gemini API, Google Maps platform (Maps JavaScript API).

Challenges we ran into

  • The implementation of Django and Gemini API was a challenges because the limit of request were very tight.
  • Another challenges that we ran into, was the learning process to get the state from the click of the user in the Google Maps canvas.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • The implementations of multiples API of google.
  • The coordination and teamwork that the both of us shown as a the team.
  • The gamification Google maps and relevant places of US.

What we learned

  • We learned how to setup a Django project with Google API from scratch.
  • How to create an use an account for Google Cloud Console.
  • How to use Gemini API and Google maps API.
