ARCardGame

This is a repository to create Android applications for Augmented Reality (AR) card games, or any kind of text-based augmented reality. The application is self-sufficient and does not require an active internet connection to work. This constraint was pushed by the poor wifi/4G network quality that some french schools can experience.

Project origin

The project was initially created to augment a physical game called Joue Maths Gie, the initial code was created by Bordeaux University students, then updated by Epitech students.

• This repository enables the creation of an Android application.
• The Manager repository is the backend to create augmentations.
