Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O4-mini high (2025-04-16) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's image better adheres to the prompt with a clear depiction of a giraffe in a thunderstorm, evident through the spotted body, long neck, and visible lightning bolts.

    While it lacks the juggling flaming torches, the giraffe on roller skates is more recognizable and visually appealing than Player 2's abstract execution, which makes it harder to interpret or connect with the prompt.

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.
