About

As a former high school athlete, I was intrigued by combines such as Sparq, but I was never able to compete in a combine. Of course I had no intentions on playing college ball either, but to know how I perform compared to others always intrigued me. Athlete IQ was a formula I created myself that appropriately judges players based on various physical and mental tests and generates a standardized score. Size and position play a key role in calculations.

Key features

  • Custom scoring algorithm based on results and size entry
  • Easy-to-use interface with instructions to help players accurately record their scores.

Tech stack

GameMaker Studio

Biggest achievement

This was my first solo mobile app published to any App Store, and one of the first projects I saw to completion.

Biggest regret

The programming was very crude and was not supported well on multiple screen sizes. Inconsistent frame rate made timers inaccurate.

Retrospective: why it ended

GameMaker SDK not supported without large upgrade, considering a rebuild in the future using React Native. Did not have the install base to support maintenance.
