Homework 2 Videogame Wishlist
So for this assignment, I just wanted to create something that’s simple but useful. It’s that time of year again when all the good videogames come out. Of course, being how games are $60 these days, gamers such as myself don’t really buy a game unless it’s totally worth it and it’s something that we’d be putting lots of time into. So in order to keep track of games that you would want and how good they are, I programmed a videogames wishlist. The interface is pretty straightforward and very self explanatory.
I used the Rattler app as a base for this app. I have it so that a user can enter important info for each game entry. Criteria that can be entered into the database are things like the game’s title, the company who developed it (like Epic Games, who developed Gears of War), the publisher (like EA who publishes games like Madden NFL and Battlefield 3), the ESRB Rating, the review rating from IGN.com (a very respected and popular gaming website), and the review rating from Gamespot (a sister website of IGN).
After entering in the information, you can now have a resource for easily keeping track of what games you’re thinking about getting and how good they’ll actually be. I did run into a certain problem that bugged me. For some reason, the ID’s that i created weren’t being added to the R class so error messages are appearing in the EditActivity class. I have no clue how to fix this unfortunately, so my app won’t run because of this as of now :(
