II. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

1. Specific Needs: The project aims to address the

following needs:
 User-friendly interface: A GUI that is intuitive and
easy for users to interact with, requiring minimal
instructions.
 Character identification: A system that can guess a
user-selected character through a series of predefined
questions.
 Adaptability: The ability to integrate more characters
or questions as needed without reworking the entire
system.
 Efficient decision-making: An algorithm that quickly
narrows down character options based on user
responses.

B. Individual conclusion
Individually, this project provided valuable insights into the
design of interactive user interfaces and decision-making
systems. By developing a structured question-based approach,
I learned how to create efficient flows that guide users through
a series of choices. Although the project performs well within
its current scope, it highlighted the importance of scalability
and flexibility in software development. Moving forward,
integrating technologies like machine learning or database
expansion could significantly enhance the project, providing
more robust and adaptive solutions for similar systems.
