| I have chosen the Ice Melting App for my final project. From this project I can show how manipulation of programming and animation can create a powerful and interactive application. Aspects of this project that I can teach are how to create and use nested movie clips in your project, how to program buttons, how photoshoped elements can be incorporated into flash projects and how incorporating small, simple elements can really spice up how a project. Things that I can learn through this project are how to make objects in the application interact with mouse movement, how to make separate objects in the application interact with one another, how to program nested movie clips so they only occur when something happened in the application and how to incorporate animations done in After Effects into my flash projects. Interesting points are interactions. Points to be conscious of, the code and names. | |
| The math in my application will mainly focus on conversions. They are used to calculate the amount the water will rise depending on the given percent. All the math relates to the conversions. It converts feet to meters and meters to feet. The math finds the right dimensions to display the water in the code. | |
| With the Ice melting application as my platform I plan to modify the existing animations and add some new ones. These new animations allow the users interaction with the application to be much more pleasant and enhance the overall feel of the application. The application shows the amount the sea level will rise depending on the percent given, which gives the user a good concept of what the water level would look like compared to a national icon (Statue of Liberty.) At this point I don’t have any plans to change the theme from global warming, but the art and animation will be much more in depth, so the art will be more detailed and the animation will be more interactive. The newly added animations and details making the experience received by both the creator and the user a nice pleasant mood. | |
| In this application plan to incorporate the thematic element, global warming and fuse it with a very detailed artistic feel. Along with animations that interact with one another through the code. The application will use the equation Ryan gave us to calculate the amount the sea level will rise determined by the given percent. The application will also allow the user to interact with things such as the water, school of fish and the boat. The code will cause the school of fish to act in different ways depending on mouse movement. The coded math is going to be the same as the original starter application. | |
