Inspiration

The idea was inspired by the Finch app and Widget and the Calendar. We wanted to create an app attention catching features.

What it does

  • When first logging onto the app, the user can select their pet and customize it by color and personality type (happy or aggressive) and name it.
  • On the Lock screen: The pet's health is displayed.
  • Once the user has created the pet, they will be guided to create their tasks.
    • REQUIRED: The users will have to prioritize their tasks based on their importance and their urgency (The Eisenhower Matrix)
    • Tasks will be weighted based on their priority
    • REQUIRED: The users will also get to categorize their tasks (health, school, social, life (chores, errands, gifting), beauty).
    • Tasks will have a deadline. If the tasks do not have a specified deadline, it will be due at 11:59 pm.
  • When the user completes their task, their pet will be fed, happy, and alive.
  • When the user fails one task, their pet will be starved and will complain (before they die)
  • Based on the personality, the pet will give motivation or threat (customized speech) 10 minutes before their task is due. ## How we built it We used Codenameone in order to code an ios app on our windows computer. We used mainly Java to build the app. ## Challenges we ran into We ran into challenges while learning how to build an app for the first time within such a restricted time frame. It was at first hard to understand how to code in Java but we eventually got the hang of it thanks to YouTube tutorials and stackoverflow. ## Accomplishments that we're proud of We are proud of creating an app that has functionality and for creating a design layout for our idea. We plan on working on this further even after this event. ## What we learned We learned that sleep is very crucial and underappreciated. ## What's next for DO-OR-DIE We plan on further developing our app by adding in the images we want to add and by adding in additional features such as making it available for android use. We want to also add widget features to the ios version.
