  1. Closing Summary Reiman Gardens wants to provide educational games on their website. The game will teach about insects and their special attributes by letting users create their own insects and testing them in different environments. This game will be fun and easy-to-use while still providing an educational experience for all ages. The program will be upgradeable to allow an increasing variety of insect part choices. The end-product will implement Flash and Java that can run in a JRE. General Information Group Members Wun-Pu Chiang, Cpr E Bonnie Jan, Cpr E / A Ecl Steve Nystrom, Cpr E Kris Smith, Cpr E / Com S Client Nathan Brockman Reiman Gardens Faculty Advisor Professor Clive Woods SDMAY05-37 Introduction Project Requirements Abstract Reiman Gardens is looking to provide more educational material on their website.  They are seeking a web program that provides an enjoyable experience as well as teach about insects. “Build an Insect” will allow the user to create an insect by choosing various body parts from different insects and assembling them to create a unique insect. This insect could then be placed in a variety of habitats to test its survivability based on the insect parts chosen. The objective of this program is to increase the user’s interest in insects while providing a useful educational tool. • Acknowledgements • Professor Clive Woods • Dr. John Lamont • Professor Ralph Patterson III • Nathan Brockman of Reiman Gardens • Design Objectives • Must be educational • Possess features that are easily upgradeable • Contain a large variety of body part options • Must be user-friendly • Implement a graphical user interface • Must be fun • Functional Requirements • Be accessible from the Reiman Gardens website • Results must be able to create a printable • version of created insect • Be able to view insect while it is being created • Users must be able to test insects in different • environments • Problem Statement • Attract more users to the Reiman Gardens • website • Create a fun and interesting web application • Educate visitors about insects • Measurable Milestones • Problem definitions • Technology considerations and selection • End-product design • End-product prototype implementation • End-product testing • End-product demonstration • End-product documentation • Design Constraints • Must be able to run at a fair pace through various • connection speeds • Must be completed by May 2005 • Cost efficient design • Easy to understand coding and design Intended Users & Uses This application is for anyone interested in insects or learning more about Reiman Gardens. The program should be fun, easy-to-use, and educational. Operating Environment The operating environment will be any system connected to the Internet running Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Proposed Approach and Considerations • Proposed Approach • Gather information of characteristic insect parts • Architecture and interface design • Create a prototype • Develop the end-product software • Test code • Client and faculty advisor feedback • Software refinement • Implementation • Technology Considerations • Software Language • Java and Flash • C++ • Data Transfer • Only for high speed connections • For all connections • Platform • Windows only • Windows, MacOS, and Linux • Testing Considerations • GUI testing • Print testing • Component testing • Web-based environment testing Figure 1: View of Reiman Gardens Figure 2: Image of a Dragonfly Estimated Resources and Schedule • Assumptions • Installation of Java Runtime 2.0 • Basic Internet knowledge • Project implements graphical user interface • Upgradeable with new insects • Limitations • Experience with Macromedia Flash MX • Knowledge with methods to combine insect • parts into a final image • Bandwidth restrictions Personnel Effort Estimated Resources Required Software • Expected End Product and Other Deliverables • Documentation • Prototype • Fun, easy-to-use, educational game Total Effort = 529 hours Figure 4: Estimated Schedule Figure 3: Example of Program Functionality
