The process of creating the idea generator started by getting together a list of all the different filters that should be used to calculate what kind of activities the idea generator should use to determine the activity. From this it was concluded that the important filters used to determine what the activity should be were: Temperature outside, amount of time for the activity, amount of money willing to spend on a given activity, and how much energy that everybody included in the generator has. Once the filters were set up, the next step was to gather a brief list of 100 different activities, making sure that at least one activity would be assigned to every possible alignment of filters.

The next step after this was to work with the coding, making it so that the filters would actually bring up activities according to the specific filters. This was probably the greatest challenge because learning how to program an application as well as the server it needed to run on proved to be much more difficult than expected, making it necessary to become quite skilled at coding and programming. This took the most amount of time for the project to complete, as once this was finally finished the Idea Generator was mostly complete aside from a few adjustments like perfecting the visual of the server/application.

If the “Idea Generator” was to be worked on more, the first task would be to give many more activities and filters for the application, creating a more advanced and in depth version of what it is now.
