App

During the hackathon we created the CatchVifYouCan app for Android. CatchVifYouCan aims to bring health and (European) Culture into the minds of its users.

CatchVifYouCan mixes Scotland Yard, Pac-Man and the game of Tag in an hightech innovative gameplay, combining the capabillities of a modern Android device with the culture of European cities. CatchVifYouCan transforms cities into urban playground offering a unique oppertunity to see a city in a new light and meeting interesting new people along the way.

API

The app connect to a service with a REST-interface. The following scheme is used.

Protocol | url                                                             | result
---------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------
GET      | /api/game                                                           | returns a list of game ids
POST     | /api/game                                                           | creates a new game
GET      | /api/game/$gameId                                                   | returns a list of player ids in game $id
GET      | /api/game/$gameId/$playerId                                         | returns the trail of player $playerId in $gameId
PUT      | /api/game/$gameId/$playerId                                         | registers player $playerId to game $gameId
POST     | /api/game/$gameId/$playerId?latitude=$latitude&longitude=$longitude | adds a location at $latitude, $longiture for player $playerId in game $gameId
GET      | /api/game/$gameId/$playerId/$n                                      | retrieve $n-th location in the trail of player $player in game $game

The run below demonstrates how the create a game, adds some players to the game and update the trail of the players with cUrl. All the urls should be prepended with a correct server and endpoint, e.g. http://localhost:8080/server/

curl -X POST -d "format=json" /api/game  // { "status":"ok" }
curl -X GET /api/game?format=json        // { "game":[1] }
curl -X PUT /api/game/1/anna?format=json // { "status":"ok" }
curl -X PUT /api/game/1/bob?format=json  // { "status":"ok" }
curl -X GET /api/game/1?format=json      // { "players":["anna","bob"] }
curl -X POST /api/game/1/anna?longitude=0&latitude=0 // { "status":"ok" }
