Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O3-mini low (2025-01-31) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission better captures the concept of a floating city on a tortoise, with a more detailed tortoise design and a clearer depiction of a cityscape.

    The color scheme effectively evokes a vibrant galaxy sky, enhancing the visual appeal.

    In contrast, Player 1's image lacks detail in the tortoise and the city, and the sky appears less dynamic.

These metrics analyze technical aspects of both SVG drawings. Look for differences that might explain the judge's decision. Use the "View Code" button above to see the SVG code for each drawing.

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.
