Mobile Web :: Becky Sippert

For my mobile web assignment, I created the PhoneFarm app, which is a simple app that’s targeted towards children. It’s a guessing game that plays a farm animal noise, and then gives 3 options for what animal makes the noise played. There are 6 animals total, and on the last page, the “quiz” is graded, and a pop-up tells you your score. Obviously, the native functionality I used was audio, which was fun.

  

I learned that setting up Cordova requires a fair amount of trouble-shooting, but once you do it once, it’s a lot easier to do a second time. Also, once you get the project structure set up, actual app development goes fairly quickly, especially with previous HTML/JavaScript/jQuery experience.
