Soundboard Project
 


Based on your experience with Hello Purr, I Have a Dream, and the challenging customizations associated with those apps, you will now build a soundboard of your own. We will share these out with the class.


Criteria

  • You must have at least 6 image buttons

  • You must have at least 6 sound files (one may be textToSpeech)

  • You must have a unifying theme for your soundboard (not “Stuff I Like” but “Game of Thrones” for example)

  • You must put your name in the Screen 1 Title

  • You must set the formatting properties so that it looks more finished

  • You must set an icon for the app so that it shows a representative image when it is downloaded

  • You MAY use Accelerometer

  • You MAY use TextToSpeech

  • You MAY add on other customizations

  • You must have fun :)


Tips

  • RENAME your components so that they make sense and communicate their content. This is a great habit and will make your coding EASIER!

    • e.g. TyrionLabel, EddardPlayer, YgritteButton

  • Use Player components rather than Sound components if you have anything longer than a short sound effect

  • The size limit is 5 MB- so crop and resize images using Preview (demo in class) and crop files using Audacity (demo in class) or another resource

  • Try to find a way to stop the other players when one is pressed

  • Consult your earlier projects to see how the components (design) and behaviors and events (blocks) are built

  • TALK to your neighbors. You will learn more when you help out and discuss this stuff with your classmates
