We\u2019re building momentum! I have about five weeks left to deliver my alpha version of the Mobile Treasure Hunt game (titled \u201cTreasure Trek\u201d) and the journey thus far has been a fun and rewarding one. The image above is a screenshot from my Android emulator for the \u201cStartPage\u201d of the game, where I used Midjourney to describe the image I wanted. This page is what users will see when they first launch Treasure Trek. It depicts four friends on a grand treasure hunting adventure looking at an expansive cityscape (reminds me of Manhattan, and I love this as a kid from NY) with a small message under the game title stating, \u201cdiscover hidden gems.\u201d My hope with this initial page is to grab the user\u2019s attention, give them an idea of what to expect with the game, and pull them in to engage with Treasure Trek.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been such a rewarding journey so far. I\u2019ve enjoyed the entire process from setting up my app and tying it up with Firebase, implementing Read and Update operations, and incorporating Midjourney for asset generation. The degree to which I chose to apply ChatGPT in my workflow is going quite nicely as well. My plan was (and continues to be) to write code myself and employ GPT-4 as my tech lead and mentor to review my code and answer any questions about my process.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My teammates (Sophia Cai and Alec Temes) have been awesome assets, and I\u2019m so lucky that I got placed on a team with such talented and intelligent humans. We are using Discord for our daily communication, and we are all responsive and communicate early and often about anything that comes up. We are adhering to our established Team Standards and that\u2019s no surprise to me because Alec and Sophia are both professional and supportive in all our communications. The only change my team made from the original plan was to forego an iOS app and develop each of our versions on Android. Sophia and I are building our Android app on Flutter, while Alec is developing exclusively on Android Studio. I believe all three versions of our mobile treasure hunt game will be a success.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treasure Trek is on track to succeed as per our initial expectations from the Milestone Calendar. For the remainder of the term, I\u2019ll be adding Create and Delete operations, researching Material guidelines, and implementing a brand identity for Treasure Trek. As a team, we\u2019ll continue to communicate any blockers we have and help each other out if needed. I\u2019m looking forward to finishing out the second half of this term strongly alongside my teammates.

Thanks for reading and I\u2019ll see you next time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n
