  • Designing a User Interface for Musical Gameplay
    Designing a User Interface for Musical Gameplay An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by: Tech Side: Hongbo Fang Alexander Guerra Xiaoren Yang Art Side: Kedong Ma Connor Thornberg Advisor Prof. Vincent J. Manzo Abstract A game is made up of many components, each of which require attention to detail in order to produce a game that is enjoyable to use and easy to learn. The graphical user interface, or GUI, is the method a game uses to communicate with the player and has a large impact on the gameplay experience. The goal of this project was to design a GUI for a music oriented game that allows players to construct a custom instrument using instruments they have acquired throughout the game. Based on our research of GUIs, we designed a prototype in Unity that incorporates a grid system that responds to keypress and mouse click events. We then performed a playtest and conducted a survey with students to acquire feedback about the simplicity and effectiveness of our design. We found that our design had some confusing elements, but was overall intuitive and easy to use. We found that facilitation may have impacted the results and should be taken into consideration for future development along with object labeling and testing sample size. 1 Acknowledgements We would like to thank Professor Vincent Manzo for selecting us to design an important feature of his game and for is support and encouragement throughout the duration of the project.

  • Use Flags and Reminders in Outlook
    Use Flags and Reminders in Outlook Flagged email messages help you better manage your mail. Flagged messages create to-do items either for you alone or for you and the recipients of the email message. For example, you can flag an email message that requests information that you need by a certain date. When the recipient receives the message, a flag appears with it and a special message appears on the InfoBar in the Reading Pane and at the top of the message when opened in Outlook. A message flagged for yourself can help you track who has replied to the message. In the previous scenario, you sent a flagged email message requesting information by a certain date. By also flagging the message for yourself, you are reminded to check for replies. Outlook can even help you automatically find replies to the original flagged message. Flagged messages are shown in the To-Do Bar, in Tasks, and in the Daily Task List in Calendar. Flag Received Messages You can flag an email message you receive to remind yourself to follow-up or take action at a later time. Your flagged message will appear in the To-Do Bar, in Tasks, and in the Daily Task List in Calendar. You can also click your Search Folder – For Follow Up to find the messages you’ve flagged.
