Judge's Analysis
Player 1's submission captures the surreal and dynamic essence of the prompt with a vibrant desert landscape and melting clock numbers that convey a sense of fluidity and distortion.
The composition is rich and imaginative, aligning well with the surreal theme.
Player 2's image, while minimalist, lacks the detail and creativity necessary to fully realize the concept of melting numbers in a surreal desert setting.

AI Judging Process
Creativity
Originality, innovative use of shapes and unique approach to the prompt.
Prompt Adherence
How accurately the SVG captures the essence of the prompt.
Visual Appeal
Aesthetic quality including composition, color usage and overall visual impact.
How does judging work?
SVG drawings are converted to static PNG images for evaluation. The AI judge receives the original prompt and both images, then determines which drawing better fulfills the evaluation criteria without seeing animations, interactivity, or SVG code.
