ART 351 - Project 8
1. If you haven't already, create a blog or website for your work. Give Miles the URL today. Post the following on the blog to share with the class on Thursday, March 1.
Done
Done
2. A working title for your project.
Pick Four
3. A one-sentence description of your project.
See if you can guess which color the wheel will stop on.
4. A one-paragraph description of your project.Include what you're going to actually produce during the course of your project (a 15 second animated film, interactive environment, etc.), as well as description of how you'll approach the audio side of the work.
You are given four colors which correspond to the colors on a wheel. You pick a color. The wheel will spin for a random amount of time and land on a color. If the color it lands on matches the color you picked, you win! This will be an interactive game made in Flash. There will be sound that depicts the wheel turning, and there will be a win sound and a lose sound. There will also be a tally which will tell you how many times you have won or lost.
5. Visual and/or written research for your project. Show examples of artists whose work you are looking at and learning from.
This project is based on a game I used to play when I worked at Earthlink. There was an IMac sitting on my desk, and you could open the cd drive with the push of a button on the front. There was a cd in the drive that had the four colors on it and I would manually spin the cd with my hand. I would ask my coworker Amy, which color she thought would come up. We had a good ol' time with this game.
I created a similar game in PHP which is on the front page of my website, http://bretleduc.com. It is by number, but you pick the same. You pick a number between one and four. The tally used to work on that game, and it still does sometimes, but it is not reliable nowadays.
You can see a flash demo of a game that uses a wheel and random spin length here:

The action will be like any casino game you can find on the web, such as slots, or blackjack.
As you can see, that game happens to be Wheel of Fortune. A side note: my Dad worked at NBC so I got to spin the Wheel when I was younger.
6. A visual treatment of your project. This can be a short test prototype, proof of concept, or animatic.
As you can see, there is a color wheel with 4 colors. It will spin when you click on any of the four color buttons at the bottom. The wheel will spin for a random amount of time and stop in one of the four colors. If the color on the wheel matches your pick, you win. A win splash and sound will display. If not, a lose splash and sound will display.
There will also be a persistent line of text at the bottom which will display the times you won and lost. It will have correct grammar.
7. A timeline of your project. When you will be doing all of this good stuff. You must include specific deadlines (for example: "March 12th," not "some time in March."). Include what you will have done by each class day, as we will be doing small group critiques in class to help you guide your progress.
I will have the main wheel created and spinning a random amount of times by 3/7/12. I will have the buttons and action done by 3/14/12. I will have the sounds and accoutrements complete by 3/21/12.
