Spontaneity
As part of our final project at Grand Circus, my team and I were tasked with building a web application with a 3rd party API. We used Sygic API, known for points of interest around the world, as a base for setting up a randomized vacation idea generator.
Unique Algorithms
Using unique algorithms and the user’s current geo-location we were able to calculate traveling a different way. We wanted to instead, ask the user how long they wanted to spend in a car, on a train, in a plane, or riding a bicycle to dictate how far away their vacation may be. From we set out to draw a potential travel radius and populate points of interest based on their form submission.
My team had to take some steps back into our first days of geometry, and used the haversine formula to calculate distance between our user’s current location and the points of interest in order to arrange the API call results by nearest or furthest.
