guess-and-photo-booth

About

This app was written for FTC team 7393 eV for their pit area at worlds. The idea is that people walk up to this app running on a screen, and they can use either the photo booth and/or the "guess how many among us in the jar" game.

(that was not the final configuration of the jar by the way :)

Tech Stack

This project uses what I like to call weird stuff on the backend™ that only happened to work with python. For example, sending the photo booth images by text required a working XMPP library, which surprisingly nodejs would not give me. So the backend is python flask and socketio, the frontend is vuejs and vanilla css and pressure.js, and the "database" is a folder for each user with a JSON file in it. NoSQL at its finest! It also sends the photos to us (with consent of the user) thru a discord webhook.

I was going to deploy it with docker, but decided to just rsync it over to a raspberry pi and run it as a systemd service. The display was a huion kamvas pro 13 drawing tablet with a pen for people to sign their photos if they wanted, which in hindsight didn't run very smoothly on the pi, a laptop would have been better to plug it into. Significantly more janky than last year's sussy factory. Ehhhh, now that I think about it, that one was svelte without svelte-kit, which was pretty cursed. These apps were made in a matter of days, usually learning new tech, so give us a break.

Popularity

The photo booth/guessing game was a hit, with exactly 64 photos taken and 727 guesses made, with 7 of those being correct. That means we have more users than 99% of projects on github (source: i made it up). Thus continues the tradition of making teriible code that works and people enjoy using, and telling ourselves that we will rewrite it later.

Brainstorming

  • photo booth and guessing game

  • at start, 2 things visible: camera and guess box

  • image taken -> shows up on tablet page for drawing a note

    • email/phone box enabled to recieve the image, or scan QR to download

  • guess entered -> submit button enabled, onclick -> guess & button disabled

    • congrats box shown if correct and sound played
    • show how many they won based on how close

  • done button -> new user

  • admin page:

    • show/change how many amogus in jar
    • view users

  • extra features:

    • cut out camera background and put an among us peeking out
