Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06 Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission is more vibrant and detailed, with a clear checkerboard track and a visible finish line that enhances the storytelling.

    The rocket-powered snail and wind-up turtle are more expressive and dynamic, adhering better to the prompt.

    While Player 1's design is clean, it lacks the same level of creativity and visual engagement as Player 2's submission.

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.

AI Judging Process

Originality, innovative use of shapes and unique approach to the prompt.

Prompt Adherence

How accurately the SVG captures the essence of the prompt.
