PostPosted: Thu Sep 29, 2011 10:21 pm   Post subject: Simple Math Flash Card Game

Second assignment of the new semester (1st assignment to be actually graded, as first was a refresher), was a simple Math Flash Card game intended for use by Elementary Students (little kids, so nothing too complicated)

I've spent a couple hours coming in Photoshop CS5 to create my images used.

Had assignment for about 2 weeks tomorrow, which is when it is due. =).

feedback and tips are greatly appreciated. This is my second semester programming in Turing.

Why're all your images 50x the size they need to be?

When settings the size of your window, the width/height is the size of your canvas. That excludes the pixels required by the Operating Systems title bars / window frame. Don't forget the taskbar. So setting the canvas as the size of the entire screen isn't the best idea.

The taskbar is around ~30 pixels high in Windows, and the title bar is around the same. The borders are no more than 10 pixels wide (each) probably.

Reason I'm mentioning this is because I loath overflow scrollbars.

I loath the mix of spaces and tabs for the indentation. It makes thing look broken until I figure out just how wide your tabs are.

yea, I forgot to crop the images down, because when I made the buttons, I started very large, and once I was done, I just scaled them down. It's always better to work big, then scale down, for better quality image, rather than scaling up. Once I saw your post, I Cropped them down, which took not even 5 minutes. Better for when I hand it in later at 1pm


I didn't worry much about spacing the numbers on the cards, which really just comes down to how many characters are in the number they enter, max of 3 numbers for decimals, etc. I'm assuming I would have to check how many characters are in the string they enter, and depending on the size, space them accordingly to make it look better.
