I've been pretty busy this past week getting our interactive installation prepared for a prototype presentation this coming Monday. I thought it right to give a quick update on what I've been doing:
- Now that we have all our quiz questions prepared, I programmed in this section earlier this week. It was a little tedious after a while but paid off! There are a minimum of three questions for each of our five charms giving a good amount of content for the user to interact with. To keep a friendly feel to our age range, we have opted for a trial and error method. While this is not so much of a challenge, it does take out any potential frustration for the user.
Since creating the first version of the quiz, our graphics members have created the accompanying visuals which I have now integrated, thus making the quiz practically complete bar a few potential aesthetic tweaks!
- Now that every screen/section's main visuals are complete, we no longer have any blank screens to end up at (huzzah!) and most sections now have the core of their interactive elements in place bar a few additional graphics and informational content. These may not be entirely complete for the prototype viewing but it should be clear how each section works. With a bit of careful programming I have also been able to include some of the graphics members' subtle embellishments in certain areas too, this will be seen on Monday!
- Now that the majority of our audio elements have been recorded, the installation is no longer silent! Various elements of background and triggered sounds are now in place with all appropriate timing considerations and fades programmed in. There are still plenty to go but there should be enough included in the prototype for everyone to hear how they will work in the context of the installation.
There are probably a handful of things I have forgotten but anything that I have missed will be seen on Monday afternoon. Things are most definitely taking shape! Video/Images to follow prototype presentation.
