Get Lost - Discover

Image
One of the first projects I had the chance to work on for the Apple Developer Academy was Get Lost .  The idea was to propose an app that would help you explore a new city but in a fun and unpredictable way, through random directions and the possibility to save the beautiful places that you encountered.  Since a year ago, the app changed immensely! Here's the phases of our design and functionalities: Privacy Policy:  https://get-lost-discover.flycricket.io/privacy.html

KnowMeBetter: Random Questions

Image
KnowMeBetter was a personal project I started during the first Italian lockdown. I hadn't done much coding at that point and so I took this strange time in our life to try and learn some more, while attending the Apple Developer Academy . The concept is very simple: Don’t know how to start a conversation and need an ice-breaker ? Want to know more about your friends or co-workers? With KnowMeBetter bonding has never been easier!  For some people coming up with questions or simply talking with someone else, it's not the easiest of things. That's why, through a series of random questions, both silly and more personal, and the fun of a game,  KnowMeBetter will help you out through the process of talking with other people! Download the app from the App Store or scan the QR Code above! Any feedback is very appreciated.   Privacy Policy:   https://knowmebetter-random.flycricket.io/privacy.html

At first, I was very concerned on how I would manage to create a whole  game , by myself, in less than 3 weeks. But soon enough, the fear left space to excitement. I started thinking about what kind of game I wanted to create and decided to reach out to my sister for help on the design part, so I could completely focus on the code. In one day we managed to figure out the kind of game, the type of character and its animations, the environment, the obstacles, the mechanics, and everything finally began to make sense. But a big adversity was still, in fact, the coding part, which was all on me. Since  my code knowledge was pretty much close to zero , I started to watch as many Youtube videos as possible, in order to understand a bit more about this new language I wasn’t
