We are going to create a program that combines the Twitter geolocation with a Geomap server (Google Maps, for instance). How about a web-interface that searches for two tweeters that share a hashtag, and give them a route navigation to each other? Bringing people around the world together, whether they’re having a tweet feud or share common interests. Our focus once again, will be on the now past election and thus Hillary or Donald related hashtags. Let’s reunite!
- [http://tweetedtrips.com/](http://tweetedtrips.com/) which is a program that generates travel routes through hashtag use. This is very applicable to what we are planning on creating.
- Inspiration also came from the fact that we wanted to use Google Maps since it has a beautiful interface and it seemed fun to combine it with a more social media-esque website such as twitter.
We’ll continue on each others work, which is quite easy since we’re housemates. We might divide the work that needs to be done through the Twitter and the Google Maps API code. Randy will provide cups, while Rahul boils water. Each session the oracle will tell us who’s providing tea.
We will program an educational program to assist teachers in creating reading resources for their students. The program will intake text from a user interface and the alter the text, swapping out words for other words using a thesaurus API. It will then output a text that should have the same message, just using different words.
__Inspiration / examples (links, url if applicable):__
We were inspired by a site called Newsela, which posts news articles at different reading levels for students. Unfortunately, however, this process isn't automated and requires individuals to read and then rewrite the articles. We hope to create a program that will automate this process in order to make it quicker and applicable to any article, not only the ones selected by the Newsela writers.
__Which technology / method are you planning on using:__
We will use html to set up an interface and then javascript to create the physical program. The program will take in a plain text file and then feed the individual words into an array. Then we will use loops to go through the array and then determine what kinds of words are in each position. If the words are adjectives, adverbs, or verbs, we will utilize the thesaurus API to swap out the words with other words.
__Who is doing what in the team:__
As of right now, Johnny will be in charge of the interface and I will be in charge of the program that substitutes words.
We're going to make a quiz based on the Harry Potter-universe, but we will especially use the fortunes given in the books. We're going to create a webpage where you can play the quiz - it will contain around 15 questions. The program gives you a fortune and three possible answers. It will tell you right away whether you were right or wrong.
We want to make the individual stories and photos of the HONY (Humans of New York) project searchable via a search-engine and we want to show the results in an interface on a server. We will make use of the Instagram API to enable the searchengine.
We want to use the twitterscraping idea that was shown in the last lessons, as well as using .js with options (such as gender) and showing the options via an index.html connection to a server.
A code that you can use as an anti-procrastination bot. It is going to have multiple steps, the first one is a template that you need to fill out to let the bot know how many words you need to type and what the deadline is for a paper. Then, it is able to read how far along you are with your paper. Based on the deadline the bot can change the background music; study-music when you need to study, or 'break'-music (which you can set up yourself) for when you can take a break. We're exploring the idea of the code also being able to read out what you're doing at the moment, for example Facebooking, and then reminding you of working on your paper by changing the music into study-music. The genre of music functions as a reminder from the code about your paper.
We got the inspiration from combining the ideas that Vivien and Laura had about 'making' music with code and Lenka her, very handy, idea of creating an anti-procrastination device for herself.
__Which technology / method are you planning on using:__
We're going to use the methods we learned in class, java and html. Lenka does have some experience with other programming, so we might diverge a bit as well.
For this final project we would like to create a randomizer for Spotify where you can pick a genre and the Spotify recommendation system will then randomly choose a song for you.
For this, we would have to request the Spotify API, which will enable us to obtain data from the Spotify music catalog and manage our playlists and saved music.
Our application will allow the user to input a destination and will suggest a road trip to the user. It will show the user all the sights on the route they want to travel.
The user will be able to plan a route with the app. The user inputs a place of departure and a destination and the app will suggest a route to travel. This route contains both the travel information as suggestions for sightseeing along the way. The user will be able to see some information about the different sights on the route they want to travel and see a picture of the sight.
This is an HTLM page displayed thanks to a localhost with proposes the user to complete a quizz. This quizz is built randomly each time the user submits a question. For instance questions are made following a pattern like « Wh-word + be + your + adjective + noun ». Answers will be displayed randomly too. Sometimes it will be sentences builded by the program (and look like an exquisite cadaver) and sometimes the choice of answer will be determined by the questions itself. For instance if noun = « color » the computer will display « blue, red, green » as choices. We would like to make something humorous. Idea of question may be what the user would do in the situation stated by the program. After around 10 questions the program display a « profile » to the user in function of his choices. This profile will be a small paragraph also builded by chance. We would like to add images related to the topic of the question. Maybe we will use a database of images to match the key words of the questions with a research on the data base.
