UNit 8 – mobile development

Task 1 – Nicholas Robinson (1598235125)

Proposed Solution

Purpose:

The purpose is to create a Windows Phone alphabet game to teach young kids the alphabet, the application will include 6 letters, each will have an assigned sound file with the same name, however it will include a sound file format, not an image. This application will be written in XAML for the buttons and layout, however C# will contain the events, voids and methods. This application needs to be written in Visual Studio, easy to use and basic colours.

User Requirements:

Accessibility Features:

What programming language is it written in? XAML What SDK did you develop your application in? Windows Phone SDK – Visual Studio. Is the code written together or separated out e.g. html separate to C#? What platform it is written on? Windows Phone. Is the application and design user friendly? Yes, it will have big fonts and colour, so it can be easily

read and understood. Does it have any accessibility features? Helpful feature colour options for people and youngsters, who

have visual coloured impairness. 6 letters, including letters to their corresponding first letter.

Predefined codes/programs:

Uri uri1; //variable for first image

Uri uri2; //variable for second image

Uri uri3; //variable for third image

Uri uri4; //variable for fourth image

string soundFile = "";

Random randomIndex = new Random();

int number;

int score; //keep a count of the score

int check;

InitializeComponent();

//call method to load images and sounds

loadImagesSounds();

public void loadImagesSounds()

{

listColoursL1.Add("orange");

listColoursL1.Add("blue");

listColoursL1.Add("red");

listColoursL1.Add("yellow");

}

public void checkCount()

{

if (check > 4)

{

txtCheckCount.Text = "Game Over";

btnPlay.IsEnabled = false;

check = 0;

}

else

{

txtCheckCount.Text = check.ToString() + " attempts taken" + " Score: " +score.ToString();

}

}

public void loadImages()

{

//set the variable with the first image

uri1 = new Uri("/Assets/" + listColoursL1[0] + ".png", UriKind.Relative);

img1.Source = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(uri1);

uri2 = new Uri("/Assets/" + listColoursL1[1] + ".png", UriKind.Relative);

img2.Source = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(uri2);

uri3 = new Uri("/Assets/" + listColoursL1[2] + ".png", UriKind.Relative);

img3.Source = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(uri3);

uri4 = new Uri("/Assets/" + listColoursL1[3] + ".png", UriKind.Relative);

img4.Source = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(uri4);

}

private void Play_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

//call the method to load the colours when the play button is pressed

loadImages();

//select a random number between 0 and 4

number = randomIndex.Next(0, 4);

//select a random number between 0 and 4

soundFile = listColoursL1[number];

//set the source code for the sound

SoundClip.Source = new Uri("/Assets/" + soundFile + ".mp3", UriKind.Relative);

//set to play

SoundClip.AutoPlay = true;

SoundClip.Play();

}

Constraints:

My current constraints are mainly managing my time, due to other assignments, it is quite difficult to fit everything in together so I can do this assignment and code the application in Visual Studio.
