Tamagotchi Health and Fitness Tacker - cs428TAs/w2025 GitHub Wiki

Pitch

Inspired by the nostalgic fun of Tamagotchi and the social charm of Tomodachi Life, VitalPet is a mobile app that makes reaching your health and fitness goals exciting and interactive. Take care of a lovable virtual pet that represents you! As you set, track, and achieve your daily goals—whether it’s eating better, exercising, or socializing—your pet grows and thrives alongside you, celebrating every milestone.

The more you accomplish, the more your pet transforms! Reach daily, monthly, and yearly goals to unlock exciting rewards like outfits, accessories, and decorations to customize your pet and its home. Watch your space grow from simple to spectacular as you create a virtual world that reflects your progress.

Features (Flexible)

Note: These are completely flexible and dependent on what the team wants to do

  1. Title and Start Screen
  2. Home Screen with little pet in its “house”
  3. Customizable Bedroom
  4. Basic Goal Tracking via Pet Activities
    • Feed: Tracking calories or diet goals (e.g., protein intake)
    • Exercise: Track how long you exercised that day
    • Step Tracker: Display how many steps you’ve taken
    • Pet: Track downtime to ensure proper rest
    • Etc.

Architecture (Flexible)

Note: I’m not as familiar with app development so this can easily be changed if someone has a better idea

  1. Android Studio for front-end development and phone simulation
  2. Java or Kotlin for back-end?
