Semblance - Azure Trial Hackathon Submission

Overview of My Submission

Semblance is a web based game, where you have to correctly describe an image using a word. You have 3 chances to guess every image, after which you lose one life out of five. I have used the Random Image API to fetch images and then used Azure's Computer Vision Service to generate tags for the image. The user must guess one of these tags. I used Golang for the server and APIs and built the UI using Webflow.
