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. -
Effects of Scroll Bar Orientation and Item Justification in Using List Box Widgets
Effects of scroll bar orientation and item justification in using list box widgets G. Michael Barnes Erik Kellener California State University Northridge Hollywood Online Inc. 18111 Nordhoff Street 1620 26th St., #370S Northridge, CA 91330-8281 USA Santa Monica, CA 90404 +1 818 677 2299 +1 310 586 2020 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract List boxes are a common user interface component in graphical user interfaces. In practice, most list boxes use right-oriented scroll bars to control left-justified text items. A two way interaction hypothesis favoring the use of a scroll bar orientation consistent with list box item justification was obtained for speed of use and user preference. Item selection was faster with a scroll bar orientation consistent with list item justification. Subjects preferred left- oriented scroll bars with left-justified items and right-oriented scroll bars with right-oriented items. These results support a design principle of locality for user interface controls and controlled objects. Keywords List widgets, scroll bar, graphical user interface design, usability study Introduction This electronic publication is an updated statistical analysis of Erik Kellener’s unpublished masters’ thesis, “Are GUI Ambidexterous” completed at California State University Northridge, CA. 1996. List boxes are used in many graphical user interfaces (GUI) today. Whether its a desktop P.C., a personal digital assistant (PDA) or an information kiosk at the grocery store, list boxes are integrated into most GUIs. The list box GUI component is usually present in an interface that asks a user to make a selection from a list of items. The size of the list of items can vary significantly, however the screen area required by a list box is usually fixed. -

Android Code Libraries and Tutorials That Are Available for Free on the Web
Overview: My proposed organizing system is a library for customizable Android code. As an Android developer I use many libraries to develop applications (specifically utility applications). However I’ve been frustrated by the fact that I couldn’t find any organizing systems that had organized existing android libraries on the web and had an intuitive user interface. To overcome this I’ve had to use different websites such as Google Search, Google Forums, Stack Overflow and recommendations from friends to figure out what libraries are best to use. Domain: Java code running on Android SDK. Scope: An organizing system for customizable Android libraries. Scale: All free Android code libraries and tutorials that are available for free on the web. Tags: # Hyponymy/Hyperonymy (5.4.1.1), # Hierarchical Classification, # Structure (5.5.3) for intuitive user interface. 5 dimensions of an organizing system 1. What is being organizing: My proposed organizing system will organize any customizable Android library and tutorial that is available for free on the Internet. These resources are mainly in Github. Github resources show the list of available folders and usually a short tutorial of what elements of the code are customizable. However in many instances the resources may be a website solely dedicated to a particular code (for instance push notification) or a site which has 5-10 Android specific libraries made by a developer and available for download. These websites have their unique structure but can be extremely valuable resources for finding free code to use. Many of these resources have a limited useful life timeline as they may only be compatible with a certain version of Android SDK for instance a code library may be compatible with Android 4.2 and when a new update for Android operating systems comes out the library may no longer be compatible. -

Cole Porter: the Social Significance of Selected Love Lyrics of the 1930S
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository Cole Porter: the social significance of selected love lyrics of the 1930s by MARILYN JUNE HOLLOWAY submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject of ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR IA RABINOWITZ November 2010 DECLARATION i SUMMARY This dissertation examines selected love lyrics composed during the 1930s by Cole Porter, whose witty and urbane music epitomized the Golden era of American light music. These lyrics present an interesting paradox – a man who longed for his music to be accepted by the American public, yet remained indifferent to the social mores of the time. Porter offered trenchant social commentary aimed at a society restricted by social taboos and cultural conventions. The argument develops systematically through a chronological and contextual study of the influences of people and events on a man and his music. The prosodic intonation and imagistic texture of the lyrics demonstrate an intimate correlation between personality and composition which, in turn, is supported by the biographical content. KEY WORDS: Broadway, Cole Porter, early Hollywood musicals, gays and musicals, innuendo, musical comedy, social taboos, song lyrics, Tin Pan Alley, 1930 film censorship ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Professor Ivan Rabinowitz, my supervisor, who has been both my mentor and an unfailing source of encouragement; Dawie Malan who was so patient in sourcing material from libraries around the world with remarkable fortitude and good humour; Dr Robin Lee who suggested the title of my dissertation; Dr Elspa Hovgaard who provided academic and helpful comment; my husband, Henry Holloway, a musicologist of world renown, who had to share me with another man for three years; and the man himself, Cole Porter, whose lyrics have thrilled, and will continue to thrill, music lovers with their sophistication and wit. -

Such visualization can assist users in interacting with Available online 22 October 2015 a hierarchical structure such as a media collection, file system, etc. General terms: In the ERELT visualization, a subset of the tree is displayed at a time. The displayed tree Algorithms size depends on the maximum number of tree elements that can be put on the screen Design while maintaining clarity. Users can quickly navigate to the hidden parts of the tree Human factors through touch-based gestures. We have conducted a user study to evaluate this visuali- zation for a music collection.
