Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking (2025-02-19) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's image is more visually appealing and adheres closely to the prompt by depicting two penguins on an iceberg actively swordfighting with candy canes.

    It shows creativity and technical quality with the inclusion of the aurora and expressive penguin designs.

    Player 2's image is abstract and lacks clear adherence to the prompt, making it less effective in conveying the idea.

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.
