Briefly describe your projects key features and tech stack used
Using lightship ARDK in unity, we leverage the database of VPS locations to indicate noteworthy locations on the map, showing images when users engage with the locations. Once entering AR in a VPS location, we use meshing to allow the player to spray goo onto physical surfaces. Each individual goo-ball metaball reflects the shared coordinates system of that VPS location and saved to a firebase database. Then when any players return to this location, they see individual previously placed goo (metaballs) that they can then clean up or spew more. Individual sites calculate the team with the most goo, and within regular intervals of longitude/latitude coordinates, we calculate the overall neighborhood's team rankings.

What was the inspiration for your project?
We envisioned real-world locations transformed into interactive arenas for strategic battles, utilizing virtual goo as a versatile creative tool. The game's premise and mechanics are straightforward, yet we're intrigued by the innovative ways players might adopt them. In what cool ways can the players interact with their teammates and their rivals in this game?
