history of Cut Knife, Saskatchewan APRIL 2008

This project was initially created in RSR 170: Interactive Project, semester II (January - April 2008). I chose to create an information interactive project of the History of Cut Knife, Saskatchewan. The colour scheme and fonts were altered in semester IV. This project dates back to the first days of Cut Knife, Cut Knife Hill, highlights the World's Largest Tomahawk, Clayton Mclain Memorial Museum, and Present Day Cut Knife.

pong game MARCH 2008

The pong game is created using Actionscript 2.0 in Flash. OnClipEvent and else/if statements are used both on the ball and the paddles. Once you click "Start Game!" the game will begin immediately.
-The player sitting to the left of the keyboard will be using the left paddle, and will be controlling it with the keys S (down) and E (up) keys.
-The player sitting to the right of the keyboard will be using the right paddle, and will be controlling it with the J (down) and I (up) keys.

-The objective of the game is to be the first person to 10. Once the game is over, click on "Score" once to begin a new game.

music player MARCH 2008

Using Adobe Flash CS3, the music player came together in many small steps. Using code and script, giving objects unique instance names, and creating an appropriate interface were only a few of the tasks.

conversion utility DECEMBER 2007

In this utility we used a formula converter for Celsius to Fahrenheit found on the Internet. It is important to name the input text and dynamic text according to what you label it in the action script. Using both the background for scripting and the Convert button the user can type in a number for the Celsius, and have a correct number appear for Fahrenheit. It is also very important to change the input text and dynamic text to singe line instead of multiline wrap. Please note: none of the utilities that require text input work properly in Safari.

dice game DECEMBER 2007

This is a simple dice game where all of the ActionScript is on the "roll dice" button. I set up both a house and a single dice to represent the two random numbers that will be displayed when the roll dice button is clicked. There are three dynamic text fields, the top and bottom display the numbers rolled, and the middle one displays a message to notify you if "You got it", or "Sorry try again!" or "You can do better than that".

mad gabs DECEMBER 2007

Mad Gab is very simple. In this string example, some variables will define stage fragments as variables when the user has entered words in the white boxes, and clicks on "Submit". The user's words are added to the "blank" spots which will complete the story! Each input box has a unique var name (don't confuse this with an instance name, you can leave that blank). The box where the text is dynamically displayed, also has a var name. All of the code is simply located on the "Submit" button. The mad gab works best if you enter a plural food (ex: bananas); type of animal not the precise name of your pet (ex: kangaroo).

rolodex DECEMBER 2007

Rolodex involves using a two dimensional array to search for information by the last name with ActionScript 2.0. When the name is entered, and the "GO" button is pressed, firstname, address, and phone number will appear. The successful entries that you can try are: berrecloth, macdonald, loranger, green, miller, milne, veikle, morran, laczko, purves.

password DECEMBER 2007

Password includes ActionScript solely on the "Login" button. on(release){ switch(true){ is executed when "Login" is pressed by the user. I have given Flash three possible usernames and passwords that will successfully work. case(user.text=="jeanne"&& pass.text=="gilchrist"): ans.text="hello Jeanne!"; To try it yourself enter user: steph password: gilchrist, user: jeanne password: gilchrist user: drew password: gilchrist.

interface families NOVEMBER 2007

I demonstrated the use of interface families by creating pages for CMA Accounting. The main screen is linked to two subtopic screens. The design elements are identical to the main screen. The colour scheme goes great behind white and light green text. The boxes and circles add pleasure to the site and brighten it up to make it less boring than a plain white background. I decided to make the pages as login, so that CMA users can login to get important information, keep up to date and informed about the accounting world.

slideshow SEPTEMBER 2007

I produced this slideshow during my first semester at LC using a variety of my photographs. This project highlights the use of key frames, tweens, layers, and alpha transparency to obtain the fade effect.
