Preparation

You should have successfully completed the readings, homeworks, and tutorial lessons described on the schedule.

Requirements

There are three functional requirements for this project:

1. It must use the Texting component
2. It must use the TinyDb component or the List data type.
3. It must use one of the sensors: Location, Orientation, or Accelerometer.

Write a socially useful app that uses the above elements in some way. Your project proposal should address how you app will make use of these elements.

• The app must make significant and appropriate use of the above elements. Be creative!

• The app should have more than one view or screen.

• The app's code must make appropriate use of procedures, functions, and arguments to reduce complexity and make the code easier to understand.

• The app's code blocks must be approriately designed and documented (commented).

• The app must be the joint and collaborative effort the two-person team.

• The app may be a variation of a tutorial or an existing app. If so, make sure you give credit to the original app in your proposal on your Portfolio.

Getting Started

1. Look at other apps for ideas.

2. Write your short "elevator pitch" and be prepared to present it in 1-minute in class.

   [name of app] is a
   [kind of thing it is]
   for [the people who would use it]
   that, unlike [the major alternatives],
   [the major distinguishing feature of your app]
   

3. Develop a detailed design. What will the user interface look like? What components will each screen contain? How will the user interact with it? What events will be handled? Include:
   • A snapshot of how the screen will be arranged when the app starts.
   • A series of event-response descriptions -- i.e., for each event that will occur, how will your app respond.
