Blown to bits chapter 2 questions


                           Blown to bits questions chapter 2:                                     

1.) Describe what a RFID is and also describe what it does?


2.) Determine how could a government could abuse RFID's and why it would be so easy for them to do so?


3.) If a document of some sort was printed from a laser printer, could that printer be classified through the document? If so, how?

4.) Create a scenario, other than embarrassment, where knowing what a customer is repeatedly buying is bad.

5.) What is the difference between "public" and "readily accessible"?

Spooky Ghost app

                             Spooky Ghost 


 Description: This is my app called "Spooky Ghost". What this app is made for is to jump scare you in the hope of that you wont get scared as easily anymore. What happens is that you open this app and get the home screen. Then you will click that button called "Start the spook" and then it will take you to the next screen. On this second screen you will play whac-a-mole with the mole being a ghost in a red circle. Every time you click the whac-a-mole it will add 1 to your score. Then when the jump scare part of the app happens it will switch to the terrifying picture on screen three. Then it will switch back to screen 2 and you will hit the reset button which will reset your score and then you will continue this process over and over till your tired of getting scared.
Reflection Questions:
1.) The creative process that my partners and I used was brainstorming. We all put ideas out there no matter how weird it sounded, we didn't judge and at the end of brainstorming we all picked one that we thought was the best.

2.)  What helped our team really work well together was keeping each other on task the whole time. Sometimes during class our group would get off task and would not work and not get anything accomplished.So we came up with a system to make sure that everyone would stay on task get their work done and finish the app. What we also did was divide up the work. For example I did the coding for the whac-a-mole  and the score bored, while Connor did the coding for the jump scare and then finally Matt did all the imaging.

3.) The problem that my app was trying to solve was the problem of being scared. My app does this by you playing whac-a-mole and then on random algorithms a very terrifying picture would pop up and try to scare you.

4.) 

This piece was the jump scare algorithim. What it did was at random algorithims from 1 to 100 it would pick a random integer between 1 and 100 and switch to screen three and show the scary picture to try and jump scare you. It was difficult because when we added this piece of code our app stopped working. We overcame this by playing around with it and being able to get the app to work.
This piece of code was to switch from screen one to screen two by clicking the button. It was difficult because at first we didn't know how to do it. Then we did some research, watched some tutorials, and was able to create this piece of code.

5.) Given more time to do this app  I could improve this app by giving it more options. For example like having an option for the volume and how fast the whac-a-mole portion of the app goes.
