## What is One Step Ahead!?

Put your drawing and deduction skills to the test in One Step Ahead as you race to draw a mystery object before an AI trained on your failed attempts can learn to do it!

Practice your drawing skills in the Gallery of the over 300 objects available to draw - and upload your art to Drawing Central for all users to view!

While you’re taking down the AI with your superb skills, take down your friends and worldwide strangers with 19 Game Center achievements and 4 leaderboards!

Based on data from Google’s Quick, Draw! experiment, One Step Ahead gives you the chance to decide once and for all: who’s the better artist - man or machine?

The original version of One Step Ahead was a winner of Apple’s 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference Swift Student Challenge!
