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

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission is more creative and adheres better to the prompt by clearly depicting a dancing cactus with a top hat and a disco ball.

    The technical quality and visual appeal are stronger, with attention to detail in the cactus's pose and the overall composition.

    Player 2's submission is simpler and lacks the dynamic elements of dancing, making it less engaging and less in line 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.
