Assignment #5 – Progress on the midterm

For my Midterm Assignment I decided to go a little bit back in time to the Windows XP era, basically the Windows of my childhood.  Just hearing the sounds of a windows XP computer turning on brings back so many memories.

My midterm is going to be exactly that, a Windows XP emulator with a twist, It has errors all over it and it gives us the famous Blue screen of death. Fun isn’t it? Let me show you my progress so far.

For the opening screen I decided to have a button which would be used to “turn on the computer”. It looks something like this:

Furthermore when we click the button the original Windows XP sound plays and I have also added the original background and My Computer Icon:

Snippet of code where I load these elements upon a click:

if(mouseIsPressed === true)
        {
          noLoop();
          clickSound.play();
          noTint();
          image(windowsImage, width/2,height/2, 400,400);
          imageMode(CENTER);
          windowsSound.play();
          image(computerIcon, width/10, height/10, 60, 60)

 

I know there is a long way to go but for now you can enjoy the sketch using the window below.
