Custom Textures

​

We wanted to provide players with more flexibility with their textures, instead of simply being locked to what we decide to place within the app, as well as provide more incentive for the player to make use of their camera, so we wanted to remedy this by allowing the user to make their own custom textures. When selected in the customize runner mode, the user is then taken to their camera to take a picture (using their back camera). Once the user approves, this picture is then applied as a texture to whatever clothing the user had originally selected. While of course this can be improved upon (as the user cannot zoom in while trying to take the photo), we wanted to add this in with good enough functionality before the showcase. This functionality as well as the customize runner mode was also added to the free run mode as well.

Account management

​

We added the ability for users to create their own account with a chosen username and password. We also added the ability for users to search for other users and add them as friends, which in turn allows for users to choose friends to run against. Both features called the API endpoints we set up in earlier weeks to access the SQL database on the backend servers.

 

Free Run Mode: Challenges

 

We have now expanded our free run mode challenges to include 3 distinct challenges. The first is a mile run challenge where if you complete a mile on your run you are rewarded points. The second is an image tracking challenge where if you track 4 University of Michigan Block Ms you will receive points. The last one is a coin collection challenge where you must collect 10 coins while on your run to complete the challenge and gain points. This is a great way to keep runners motivated and to allow for more use with augmented reality technology within the application.
