Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is GPT-4.1 (2025-04-14) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission is more visually appealing and creative, with smoother gradients on the rainbow track, a more detailed snail and rocket, and a dynamic composition.

    Player 2's submission, while adhering to the prompt, lacks the same level of technical refinement and visual polish, making Player 1's work stand out overall.

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.
