Monday - 26th September - Week 7

Wow, was today a lucky day! We thought our work was due today, but it turned out that it is due next week. I should have checked my brief. Anyway, i was relieved to find out that we had an extra week to make our outcome as good and informative as possible. With the extra time, I have managed to finish the coding for our flash project and added all the items. We have done research and have the information condensed and prepared. With the information being put into flash now, we are so close to finishing this assignment we can almost smell it.

Our group has worked very well together. Instead of disagreeing on things, we had discussions and considered all options of this assignment. How will it be delivered, what program will we create it in, what items will we use and who will do what were just some of the things we had discussions on.

I have attached a link to the file which contains the information we gathered today.

Thursday - 22 September

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I'm in deep doo doo. Flash is no longer working, i just keep getting an error saying: flash resources files are missing. I've done some research and it seems that the language files have been deleted. The mac lab can't be opened without a teacher, and the library computers are now completely useless to me. I've been here for almost 2 hours trying to find a fix for this problem.
Everything was going along so well, until now. Hopefully I can find a way around this thing.

Monday - 19th September

I spent a nice chunk of my day today doing some work at tafe because I only have flash cs5, and flash cs 5.5 files aren't backwards compatible. This has proved to be very frustrating as I am now limited by when I can do my work.
I managed to save two versions of my flash assignment in class last Friday and couldn't find the real one. I eventually managed to locate it and got to do some coding. I'm so sick of flash now, coding in flash is no fun but it somehow makes sense to me. I've coded a fair few of the items. I've applied the code to blank squares, Brent is making the images we will be using and i will simply replace the blank squares with the images.

So that's it so far, tomorrow i will finish the code and get started on a start menu for our app.

Monday - 12th September - Week 6

Brent put together an image showing the locations of where the interactive items will go in our flash prototype.









I've done the coding for the interactive buttons in flash, now I'm waiting for Brent's help to create the buttons. Once that has been done, our flash prototype will be almost complete.

Luke is working on the interface design, which seems to be going well. I suggested we put a start menu before the interactive is launched which describes how the interactive is used and which interactive they will choose. (pc or mobile version).

Monday - 12th September - Week 6

Today was a very busy day for our group. We got a lot done today with the time we had, and I am pleased to say that all 3 of us did fantastic work today. We finally have our flash file working as intended, with the room being rotated with the mouse and information popping up when clicked.
We also began work on an interface today, and decided to create a non-flash outcome for those who don't have flash.

We have also worked on two separate dimensions for our outcome, one for mobile and one for pc, as shown below:





Monday - 5th September - Week 5

Today we decided on an interface for our assignment. After some lengthy discussions we decided how we were going to set up our panorama in flash. We are going to make the screen pan across hen the user places their mouse at the edge of the screen.

We also had a class discussion where we got to show our progress to Werner and the class, which helped us refine our ideas. We have yet to decide on a name for our outcome, but I don't feel that is very important at this time. Hopefully we can get the flash coding complete by the end of week 6.

Below is a screen shot of the flash assignment thus far:
