Applet/Game for Usability Metric Evaluation #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
A game that asks user to click on several shapes on the screen. Ever
attempt/click gets a score based on the 
1. time taken to reach the destination
2. Accuracy of the click
3. Overshoot.

such parameters would allow us to evaluate the usability performance of the
device.

--- email from Dhaval --- 
It is a very simple code to test the usability of the device. A few points
about it:

- On clicks within any circle, msg is displayed on the command line about
time elapsed since the previous click and an error msg, if the click
wasn't a valid one.
- towards the end, it shows the total time elapsed starting the 1st click.

- the circle positions/their radii can be changed by changing the arrays
- u can only click circles in the preset sequence; any other sequence
gives an error.
- all messages/errors are thrown at the command line - dont search the
applet window.. :P
- the circles arent yet numbered visually..  :( 
- a loophole: u can continue clicking even after "You reached the end!"  ;) 
It would always show those clicks as "wrong circles", though.

Please tell me of any polishing/improvisation required.

Cheers!

Dhaval, 
I am unable to view the Applet in step#13 here. Are you able to view it?

I face a similar problem running your applet. It says, "Loading Java Applet 
Failed".
I re-installed JDK on my system but no luck.
