Alphabet City is a location-based mobile game featuring augmented reality. Think Words with Friends meets Pokemon GO. Currently optimized for iPhone X only.
Users play by wandering around their city to find letters they can pick up in AR. Once a user forms a valid word, they earn points and their word is added to the map at their current location.
Play against your friends to see who can rack up the most points and view each other's words in AR.
The Alphabet City app is built using React Native with the Expo SDK. We use React Navigation for navigation and Redux to store state, and Three.js and expo-three to render 3D letters, using @EvanBacon's method found here
Our backend server is built using Node.js, Express, and Sequelize with PostgreSQL.
