Simple two-player game for Apple Watch + iPhone

###What is it?

A simple two-person tapping game. One player uses the iPhone, the other uses an Apple Watch. Whoever taps more in 30 seconds, wins.

###But why??

I started on this because of I wanted to try out WatchKit development (this is my first WatchKit app), and was was encouraged by this contest announcement). Most Apple Watch applications I've seen were either for consuming notifications, or inputing data. This makes sense given the watch's form-factor. However, I wanted to see what more we can do. I originally wanted to do something with the Haptic engine or Taptic feedback, but these APIs aren't open yet unfortunately. So I chose this project.

###Cool highlights

• When the watch application launches, it pauses until the phone application is launched. It automatically detects when that happens and proceeds.

• The watch app (the extension project) is the "driver" for the experience. It launches the game on both the watch and the full phone app.

• The phone and watch applications are constantly exchanging data about user taps.
