Doing THE Ass Kicking App. 👊

One of my hobbies is Karate, but just for the sake of practicality, I decided that I wanted to do the hardest, most intense and painfull of them all, case I ever needed, it would be put to good practice to protect my family and I. So, as a part of that hobbie, I put myself into making an app to use as a reference for the many techniques names, rules and other information that would help me to progress in the martial art.

"One must try everyday, to expand one's limits." -Mas Oyama

I brought the idea to my Sensei, and proposed to make it available for free, for everyone. After a few conversations about what the app should look like or what it should do to serve as a training tool, we decided that we would make a fitness app, with training sections available even to a person who have never been in contact with the martial art.

I am making the app using Figma, where I design and prototype, with Affinity Photo as my image editor of choice. Some files I put through the InkScape workflow for my SVGs and vector images. In the future, the app is going to proper development, I am going to be using Unity as we may use 3D karatecas to show the techniques, but that may change. We may do it with Python and Flet, or even Android Studio. Time will tell. =P

What I am using to make it happen (for now):

  • Unity and C# (I may change to Python & Flet or Android Studio)
  • Figma
  • Affinity Photo
  • InkScape
