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

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission adheres more closely to the prompt by including teacups balanced on the octopus's tentacles, along with a top hat.

    While the execution could be refined, the concept is clear and more aligned with the idea.

    Player 2's entry lacks the teacups entirely, which is a key element of the prompt, making it less complete despite its cleaner design.

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.
