Hackathon entry for HackOMania 2019

About

• This app was created for the problem statement of "How do we gamify the process of crowdsourcing to facilitate the collection of both Singlish speech and corresponding transcribed text data?"
• The app is an Android Real-time multiplayer card game.
• Team members: Alden Lim, Gan Chin Yao, Lim Qian Yi, Lim Sing Jie, See Hui Yee
• This app won the People's Choice Award for the competition.

How the game works

• Game can be played with 2-8 players.
• Each player will draw 5 cards at the start from the deck.
• Game will be played in rounds. In each round, every player will choose a card from their hand that fits the question posed.
• The aim is to pick a card (which consists of a phrase) from the hand that fits the question posed such that the response is funny.
• Upon choosing a card for the current question, each player will proceed to record his/her voice and say out the entire sentence (hence the collection of Singlish speech and its corresponding transcribed text).
• Once a player has recorded his/her voice, other players will be notify of it in real-time. Players will proceed to listen to the voices of other players and vote for the one which has the funniest response.
• Players who obtained votes from other player will get 1 point.
• The game will repeat for 10 rounds, and the player with the highest score at the end wins.
• Note: Each question and card drawn are Singlish (Singapore English) related. Wild card is a card that allows player to give anything as the answer and hence, the ability for us to collect even more variety of data.

How to use

• Change the applicationId in build.gradle to your desired applicationId.
• Replace the app_id in ids.xml from your Google Play Console account. The app_id is used for Google Play Game Services.
• Create a firebase account and add replace the google-services.json file with a valid one. Firebase account is only used to store voices recorded by players so that other players can listen to them in real-time during gameplay. If you choose to store the voices recorded in other manner, you may skip this step.
