Solution set.

Due date: Mar 1

Files to be submitted:
  Hw2.zip

Purpose: To gain experience creating .rcp files and a simple app that uses multiple forms and UI and menu elements.

Specification:

The file Hw2.zip will contain all the source and resource files so that if I type:

make

From the command prompt your .prc file will be produced. For this homework your goal is to write as cool of version as possible of the following game which I call ``Button Madness''. Launching your application should bring up a form with a bitmap title picture as well as buttons Short Game and Long Game on it and long and short game fastest times. Clicking on one of the game buttons starts a game. The idea of the game is that a player is presented with a sequence of forms from one of five types of forms. Each of these form types has between two and four buttons on it as well as any pretty graphics you want. It also has an indicator which says the number of buttons left to click on this form. The object for the player is to tap all of the buttons on the form so as to go to the next form in the sequence as fast as possible. What the next form in the sequence is chosen randomly from the list of five form types. In the short game, the player tries to get through a sequence of ten forms as fast as possible. In the long game, the sequence is twenty long. After completing the sequence an informational alert box appears saying the time the player took. After clicking ok on this alert the title screen is redisplayed with any updates to fastest times appearing.

In addition to the above, make sure app has its own icon for the launcher and has a menubar with a help menu with instructions and about items on it. Selecting these either gives instructions or version information.

Especially neat-o versions of this game can receive up to 2 bonus points.
