Made some last minute changes yesterday.
Mostly to do with UI, user-friendliness and appearance, but also:
- made a 75 second reset patch (with the help of Rob) and then sent a message-close message through various delays and sends through to each individual sub patch and bpatcher. It closes the Quiz and german part first, then the subpatches, then resets to the three-screen menu, and then slides into the main screen. It was very glitchy at first but I managed to smooth it out a bit by altering delay times.
- Also, while Jed and Will found the right sound to play whenever the mouse is clicked (as requested by the client), I made the <sfplay> patch to go along with it, connected to a <mousestate>.
- attempted to make fading pictures in the quiz as big as possible but couldn't change the screen size as that would mean re seizing every single slide of the quiz, not to mention all the graphics and bpatcher a to resize.. Resizing pictures alone was the best bet as it's easy and all I could do in such little time.
- made other minor aesthetic tweaks: put a fade on the three-screen texts for better visibility, repositioned voiceover-play buttons in subpatches for easier use, standardised back buttons in the german subpatches to go along with the main patch blue back-arrows, and other minor changes.
Will head to university son to submit my assignment, finally!!
All sounds great. Would be interested if you could post a video on the blog showing the patch working in situ.
