Use Places API to determine winner

Depends upon: #30

This should be built as a pipeline to easily add/remove parts as needed.

For the singular address given when the session is created,
1. Find places within a specified radius (walking distance, 1 mile, etc..)
  - If no places found, try again with the next higher radius
2. Only pick places with 3 out of 5 star rating and above
3. Filter by the winning Category choice
4. Pick one at random

Include the address, category, rating, price, etc.. of the result, Ex: {Name: Food4U, Address: "1234 Main St", Category: [Pizza, Burgers], Rating: 4, Price: $$}

Should we include a "walking distance" option?

ryyan commented 9 years ago

Definitely if it's available within the API. Start with the smallest distance possible (1/4 mile).

Users won't manually pick "walking distance", "5 miles", etc.. Instead it will be based off the addresses given. If there are choices available that are walking distance to all participants, then the first round of choices will all be walking distance.

EDIT: After discussions, the Creator /will/ manually pick the distance, and give the specific address.
