Emi - Log 5

For demo-ing purposes we will focus only on the 'during' phase of the interactive display. The Before and After will be added at a later date.

Today I am doing to following:
  • Programming in the BPatcher window (the below is just a placeholder to demonstrate what it'll look like)
  • Will fix non-standardized items - window (size), images, buttons, etc.
  • Reword pop-up information windows

  • If time permits I'll work on the mini-game aspect of the project - if you answer correctly an old picture fades into one we've taken 2 weeks ago of the same location (old to new comparison)
Also,
I emailed a Peter Bobroff asking if we are allowed to use his information, pictures, etc. that are on his website <http://navalhistory.flixco.info>. Some pictures, escpeically of the ships, are very rare and could only be found on this website. Besides the rare photos of the time, the information is great - and him sending back a "Feel free to make use of the site..." was of great help.

--EDIT--

  • Quiet day at work so I'm working on the patch. Finished the title page and a main menu (to navigate between before/during/after)


  • Finally got around to resizing every pop-up window which should've been set to the standard I set in "Log 4" (840x400). Now to change the font size, colour, etc. and resize buttons...

  1. Home screen is looking nice. Remember we talked about the 'During' newspaper actually being dated the day after (more realistic considering the information technology of the time!).
