Project Three - Final Application

Sounds:
- Paper ripping sound when mouse click is let go.
- Popping sound when the user clicks on the objects.

Interaction:
- Click and drag objects
- Roll over specific ones that isn't visible to make them fill with purple which changes the visual aspect of the object.

Project Three - Development

I have successfully managed to get my sound clips working in the places and the times that I want them to be.
When the mouse is dragged and released on the object, a 'paper ripping' sound is produced.
When the mouse clicks on the object, a 'popping' sound is produced.

Project Three - Development

I have decided to change the ideas to do with the sound within my application. I have decided to change the way that the sound is projected. Instead of the sound being whne the object hits the walls of the application and when they collide, I have decided to have the sound whne the mous is clicked on the object and when the click is released. I have decided on this change because the fact that there is a 'race' to collect the objects up before there are none left on the screen is a strong interaction therefore I don't want to change that part of the interaction. I have also decided on the change with the mouse click because I like the way that the objects float behind eachother in the application.

The sounds that I am going to use are a paper ripping sound when the mouse is released and the objects float out from behind the top one, and a pop sound when the mouse is clicked.

Project Three - Development

My next step for project three is to figure out how to add sound into my application for specific times during the run time of the application.
I am wanting to add a paper ripping sound when the objects come into contact with each other, and a popping sound when they collide with 'walls' of the application.
In terms of the interaction, the user is already able to click and drag to move the objects around the screen. I am also going to add a mousePressed function to that the application can start over, but am unsure of what other interaction I want to use, or could use.
