Interaction, Appearance, Interface

Just a quick update. Some of this I should really post to my personal blog, but it's easier to just do it all here in a less formal-y manner.

Thought of an idea for the 3 posters idea that was suggested by the lecturers. Since we've broken the project up into three parts (Tarot Cards / Structure design, RFID Card Selection, and the System Prototype itself ), It seems like we've broken the project up into the "Interaction" ( RFID ), "Appearance" ( Cards, Structure ), and the "Interface" ( The program ). Interaction and Interface seems like they could be swapped around. But you combine the three, and you get the whole project, which works quite nicely I think.

Basically though, this is just to say that I'm pretty sure I've finished the coding for the prototype. ( yaaay ). It can run as a .exe file ( which is always good ). This is basically how it works :

- Start Program
- User Presses "Begin"
- User Selects "Male" or "Female"
- User Selects a Starsign
- User Selects a Category
- User is prompted to record something based on that selected category
- User Presses "Record"
- Recording process starts
- User Presses "Stop"
- Recording process stops
- .wav file is named based on the current time ( yearmonthdayhourminutesecond.wav )
- .wav file is saved to selected directory ( customisable )
- filename, starsign, sex, category are all saved to the database, file is set to "un-scanned" ( for censorship of rudeness
- Database is searched for random response to selected topic ( one that has been "screened")
- File is played back for the user.

The end. Repeat etc.

How's that all sounding ?
