1 Brandon Stalnaker Corey McGee Patrick Noll

2 Overview iPhone application Friends can play a simple game of scavenger hunt with one another One person creates the game and sets waypoints Others join and attempt to reach the waypoints quicker than their competition Simple method of pinging similar to sonar to determine closeness to waypoints

3 Goals Primary Custom game lobbies Allow friends to join games Placing of waypoints Secondary Pinging GPS accuracy Integration with Game Center

4 Networking We need to enable users to create, manage, and join games. iPhones must be able to communicate with each other, updating when users reach waypoints. Currently, we will use our own private friend listing for trial runs Hope to integrate Game Center and its friends list later down the road

5 Waypoints Game host will be able to place waypoints Only at their current location GPS will be used by scavengers to determine proximity to the next waypoint GPS must be relatively accurate Hope to fine tune its precision if time allows

6 The Game Will have a user friendly interface Allow for simple drop-in/drop-out game play Scavengers will tap the screen to ping how far away they are from the next waypoint The return ping will be based on how far away the user is and if they are facing the correct direction Further one is, the longer time until the return ping is heard

7 Use Case Diagram PlayerHost Scavenger Hunt Create Game Join Game Place Waypoint Ping View Stats / Preview Game End Game

8 Challenges GPS accuracy and orientation How accurate is it? (within 2ft? 25ft? 50ft?) Will the direction the iPhone is facing effect the GPS? Linking up with Game Center How do we get associated with them? Networking How will the iPhones connected with the game communicate?
