We wanted to reimagine a modern app in a prehistoric context. We thought a taxi service but with dinosaurs would have been funny, and somewhat useful to cavepeople.
DinoRide allows you to book a trip and have dinosaurs deliver you to your desired location!
- Adobe XD: We used Adobe XD to build the mockups for our mobile app. We wireframed the entire application and used tested a lot of fonts as well in Adobe XD.
- Flutter: Our mobile app is made using Flutter which means that our mobile app is cross-platform. Flutter made making the mobile app easy and quick.
- Open Street Maps: DinoRide uses Open Street Maps to determine the user's location and renders out an interactive, custom map in a prehistoric theme.
- Figuring out coordinate math
- Parsing the real-life map data into a prehistoric visualization
- Finding good assets for the map
- Making sure the dinosaurs actually stayed on the roads
- Being able to completely change the look of Google Maps
- Adding some basic loading animations
- Using Open Street Maps API and data
- Paint to the screen in Flutter
- Improve the visuals, add a user account system
- Implement a rating system for individual dinosaurs
- Add appropriate dinosaurs by location to improve believability
We would like to thank PreHackstoric for the opportunity to come up with and create DinoRide, we would also like to thank Open Street Maps for their API.
