Challenge Summary
Welcome to the SuperAwesome Cloud API Mashathon Virtual Spinner Storyboard Contest. The cloud track is all about innovation and mashing up our partner's APIs. To make sure no one has a head start, we introduced our own version of the famous "Price is Right Wheel", the API Wheel! Contestants will spin the wheel three times to find out what APIs they must integrate into their application. The contest allows contestants to drop one API. Once they have selected their APIs, the only limit contestants face is the time constraint. The goal is to build the coolest app they can in the time limit.
For this contest, you will be designing 2 screens for the "virtual" wheel spinner.
Round 1
1) Initial submission design with all the features mentioned in the Requirement section.
2) Any note for the client about your submission
3) Number your submission (01, 02, 03, etc...) for easy client's review
Round 2
1) Final submission design with all the features mentioned in the Requirement section plus any checkpoint update.
2) Any note for the client about your submission
3) Number your submission (01, 02, 03, etc...) for easy client's review
Primary Goal & Design Considerations
During the TCO13 event, we will be running a mashathon, this is where different kind of APIs could be utilize to build an application. There will be actual wheel that the participant can spin on onsite. For the remote participants, we will have a virtual wheel spinner. This is where we need your help. The goal of this contest is to design this virtual wheel spinner with its features outlined in the requirements section.
