Now, if Captain Kirk were selected...
This is where the magic happens
If you're lucky, a happy ending
If not, you're going to be fish food
The project came about as the fruit of a brief related to developing a web app concept based on languages like JS or HTML5. My submission was an early form of Compassly, named Surprise Me!
The idea of the app was to create a socio-geographic game of discovering where your friends are and the places they're in by point your smartphone in a direction and hitting the 'Surprise Me' button. Based on the 'Awesomeness Slider' a range of distances could be chosen, to transport the user to another part of the world, and discover friends and places when he or she arrived
Since then, I have built upon the concept in my own time and have done more research into developing a working prototype of this project in some way or form, eventually. Fun Fact: Considering that the world is covered in a majority of water, I intend to create numerous result screens and sound effects for when a user lands in an ocean or sea.
