Project Description: 

Colorful Journey is a game aimed for kindergarten children ages 4 to 6 years old where they can learn to follow instructions and learn more about colors, with various mini games related to colors. The game also integrates a story so that the users will not get bored while they are playing and learning at the same time. The game starts with the start screen. When the player click the start button, control instructions will be shown first, with is by using the control keys and the mouse. Then, it starts with the player in their room, and the player have to click letter, where there are several instructions to get to their grandmother’s house. If the player is still confused, the player can click the dog and the dog can tell the player what to do. When the player goes outside and follow the instruction based on the letter, the player then has to complete various mini games related to color, and get out of the maze to reach the grandmother’s place. After the player reach the grandmother’s house, the game will congratulate the player and the game ends by exiting the game.

In this project, I mostly focus on making the design of the game, including making the game logo, and fixing some of the mini game events. Using the Autodesk SketchBook application, I draw the objects and sprites for the mini game and the surroundings, such as the player’s room.

Applications Used:

1. Construct 2: For creating the whole game, especially the game events.
2. Autodesk SketchBook: To create some of the pictures in the game & the logo design.

The FastCabs Case Study (Database Systems Final Project)

Course: Database Systems

Members: Angeline Indahsi (2001585335) & Ignatia Stellarista (2001586180)

Introduction:

On this project, we are part of the consultancy company that specialize in making database applications. The director of FastCabs, a taxi company, has approach us to design and implement a database management system for FastCabs. The database should be shown on a user-friendly interface so that the user can access the all the data easier.

Making the Query:

The application should have the typical queries specified by the company, besides showing all the data needed. The queries were first made using the terminal application, to see if the data shown using the query is already correct or not, and fulfill what has been specified. During the process, there are some difficulties when making the queries, but at the end, all the queries fulfilled what has been specified. When all the queries are correct, it will be put on the code of the interface.

Here are the specified queries:

The result of the queries:

Making the User Interface:

For the User Interface, NetBeans is used as the program to create the display for the data, with Java as the programming language. There are two parts in the User Interface. The top part shows all of the data from the FastCabs company. All the tables are separated by using tabs, so the UI will not be too crowded. The bottom part of the UI shows the queries, also separated using tabs. On each queries, the specifications are stated so that the user can understand what specification is shown on the table. During the process of making the interface, there are no difficulties met.

The result:
