Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission demonstrates greater creativity and adherence to the prompt by clearly depicting a tree shaped like a hand reaching for the sky, with detailed finger-like branches and an appealing nighttime backdrop.

    In contrast, Player 1's submission is less detailed and does not effectively convey the idea of a hand-shaped tree, making it less visually compelling and relevant to 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.

SVG drawings are converted to static PNG images for evaluation. The AI judge receives the original prompt and both images, then determines which drawing better fulfills the evaluation criteria without seeing animations, interactivity, or SVG code.
