For this project, I created a simple application that allows MMORPG gamers to track how much damage they do in raids and boss fights. This is tracked using Damage Per Secong (DPS). I used flexboxes for the page columns, the table, and the input form. I also linked the Roboto font through CSS to use in my page. To use the app, just fill out a fight's name, total damage, and time (in minutes and seconds) and click "submit!" The table on the right column will keep track of all your entries, with some extra statistics above it.
- Tech Achievement 1: Using Javascript, I was able to keep both the input form and the results on the same HTML page. With each entry, the table and text labels on the right column update, keeping track of previous entries.
- Design Achievement 1: I tested my application with two other students from the class. Here are the results:
- Test 1
- Nina Taurich
- Nina was confused that she could enter more than 60 seconds in the "seconds" input box. She was also concerned that the user could forget the input boxes' purpose once they entered in text and removed the text box hint.
- I was surprised that she could figure out how to use the application just from the minimal text hints I had in, but it was a pleasant surprise.
- Based on Nina's feedback, I would add in text labels next to the input fields to indicate their purpose. I would also add code to ensure that the maximum number of seconds a user could enter would be 59.
- Test 2
- Joe Swetz
- Joe had little issues with the app's design. He was also a more frequent gamer than Nina, so perhaps his previous experience helped him use the app.
- I didn't have any surprises from Joe.
- Based on his feedback, I would just do the same as I would have done after Nina's feedback: add descriptive text labels next to the fields in the input form.
