Project Description: Our team decided to make an android app we call Hercules. Hercules is a "gamified" health tracking app, oriented towards those who struggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our app is engineered to incentivize users to work out, diet, and develop healthy habits by rewarding them for fulfilling their fitness plans, or “questlines”, which are comprised of several tasks. Each user has a customizable avatar, and upon completion of certain goals, users will earn gold and experience points that can be used to buy items at the shop and increase their character’s stats. We used java to develop our app as it uses object-oriented design. Overall we tried to keep code relatively simple but also developed an algorithm in which it becomes harder to earn rewards the more you progress.
