First if you don't know what Azure Service Fabric is, go here to learn more. I have been playing around with Azure Service Fabric and I felt that the virtual actor pattern used in Azure Service Fabric would be a good fit for building an achievement system. For this series I will be basing the achievement engine off of the Nike Fuel trophies system. I will not be implementing all the trophies just the ones I have grouped and referenced at the end of this post.
What is Nike Fuel?
Nike fuel is a proprietary unit of measurement for tracking fitness activity developed by Nike. The algorithm is the same for everyone, so everyone is on an even playing field.
How to get Nike Fuel?
All products under the brand allow the user to earn Nike Fuel. Products include the Nike+ FuelBand accelerometer wristband; other wristbands such as SportWatch and SportBand; etc...
Goals
Most of the products that generate Nike Fuel allow the user to set a goal. Example; reach 5,000 Nike Fuel in a day.
What is Going Green?
Going green means you completed your goal. Example; earning 5,000 Nike Fuel in a single day would complete the goal referenced above.
Nike Fuel Trophies (Achievements)
It was difficult to get accurate information about the different trophies provided by Nike. That being said I found several sources on the internet not affiliated with Nike that referenced information about the different Nike trophies that are available. The trophy information below while it may not be 100% accurate is good enough to use as an example for this blog series.

The plan for code
As part of this series I will be sharing the code in my GitHub account. I am planning on making a branch for each blog post. This way you will be able to follow along from post to post. Also you should be able to access new branches before the corresponding blog post as I am writing the code over the coming months.
