This prototype was to test the interface and boy was the whole process a hair raiser! Unfortunately for me I spent a lot of time working on pong tutorials and trying to understand elements of AS3 that I really didn't need to waste time on. I'm going to say here but AS3 is just not my gig, I can't say that I'm having fun wrapping my head around it.
That said, the tutorials that I have been working on have been super helpful and I know if I have any questions I can always ask.
As I said in my previous posts I was planning to implement an interface that allows the user to test the "dropping a pin" function of the ring and app. Some of the ideas for the interface I got from Ringly - this design that fuses fashion and technology seems to interest me!
I am the kind of personality that loses my phone in my handbag or can misplace it for hours, so having a simple technology like Ringly would be super handy. But enough of that for now.
I attempted to use the tutorial that Mayi linked me (I think I mentioned this earlier): http://www.flashandmath.com/bridge/intro/time.html. However I really struggled to implement it. As such I was left with a bunch of wireframes (see SOD below) and not a lot of interaction. As a result I have switched my testing approach not to test the interaction of dropping a pin but the opposite, what a user does when their drunk friend sends them a pin.The interaction itself allows for two possibilities - if you would like to meet up with your friend click yes and if you wouldn't like to meet up with your friend press no.
Yes: takes you to the location of Alhambra Lounge
No: takes you to the black and white cabs website to order a cab for your friend.
I would have liked to create the interface including the buttons and not have them to the side. In all honesty I was a little bit time poor and had to do the bare minimum. I must keep improving my skills before the next prototype!
Here is my statement of delivery for this prototype:
