Hey guys & girls!
For the past three years I have been studying BA(Hons) Interactive Multimedia at the Hull School of Art & Design, Hull, UK.
I am at the point now where I am almost ready for finishing (well, I would have finished if it wasn't for an unfortunate accident I had involving a sewing needle and my foot! To cut a long story short I will post the X-Ray, they say a picture paints a thousand words so see what you make of my foot X-Ray )
The needle has been removed and the wound has almost completely healed now (after about 4/5 weeks including the best part of a week in hospital).
Anyway, For my final year major project I decided to embark on the fascinating world of online multi-user applications. In particular, I decided that I wanted to try my hand at designing for children as I had never really done this before and though it would be an interesting challenge.
So, with the idea in hand and a bit of creative energy I have created Scroodle. The name is what happens when you combine Scribble and Doodle. (I thought it was fun lol). Scroodle has taken the best part of 6 months to create (including documentation and in between other projects and assignments) and is now at a point where it is almost ready for completion.
So I am kindly asking for you to have a wonder over to Scroodle and have a play around and just post back your comments, opinions, criticisms etc to aid in my evaluation of the project. Those of you who know children aged between 5 and 7, I would really appreciate if you could let them have a play around Scroodle and post their feedback.
One thing that will not work yet as i am awaiting the server to become available for it to work is the 'Shared Drawing Board' feature of Scroodle. You will still be able to draw but there will be no one drawing with you. I hope to have this up and running online by tonight.
Aside from that all should be ok!
So please have a look, a play and tell me what you think!
Many thanks in advance!
Chris
