| michael@0 | 8 | |
| michael@0 | 9 | DESIGN (IEEE 1016) |
| michael@0 | 10 | |
| michael@0 | 11 | #D.01 SVG format is given preference... |
| michael@0 | 12 | ...unless underlying software components fail to properly display it. |
| michael@0 | 13 | #D.02 Two subclocks are displayed side by side like physical game clocks. |
| michael@0 | 14 | #D.03 UI surface is layout optimized for mobile or semimobile devices. |
| michael@0 | 15 | #D.04 Target surface size resembles the size of a phyical game clock. |
| michael@0 | 16 | ...however all UI components scale to fill the entire screen. |
| michael@0 | 17 | ...this conflicts with #D.01, but can be solved by maximizing |
| michael@0 | 18 | use of scalable vector formats and fonts while programatically |
| michael@0 | 19 | choosing the size of nonvector UI components. |
| michael@0 | 20 | #D.05 UI occupies the full screen and no window decorations are shown. |
| michael@0 | 21 | #D.06 The application starts by showing the initial screen, in which |
| michael@0 | 22 | both subclocks are active but not running. This is due to the |
| michael@0 | 23 | application now knowing which opponent will begin moving first. |
| michael@0 | 24 | #D.07 To start, an opponent presses their clockface in the initial screen. |
| michael@0 | 25 | This indicates which player moves first. After this exceptional |
| michael@0 | 26 | step, the running subclock alternates regardless of which part |
| michael@0 | 27 | of the UI surface is pressed. |
| michael@0 | 28 | #D.08 To alternate the running subclock, the playing opponent presses |
| michael@0 | 29 | anywhere on the UI surface (even in the nonplaying opponent's area.) |
| michael@0 | 30 | #D.09 RSS indicated updates are automatically published on project homepage. |
| michael@8 | 31 | #D.10 Aspect consists of minimal UI pieces arranged statically. |
| michael@8 | 32 | A vertically (90 degrees rotated) title bar is flush left. |
| michael@8 | 33 | A system title bar is assumed to be placed above the UI surface. |
| michael@8 | 34 | Two clockfaces are placed side by side next to the vertical title bar. |
| michael@8 | 35 | One text label for the opponent name is placed below each clock face. |
| michael@8 | 36 | #D.11 Consideration is given to devices with several screen resolutions. |
| michael@8 | 37 | 820 X 480 (AppUp requirement) |
| michael@8 | 38 | 854 X 480 (Telephone) |
| michael@8 | 39 | 1024 X 600 (Ideapad) |
| michael@8 | 40 | 1280 X 720 (720p) |
| michael@8 | 41 | 1366 X 768 (WeTab) |
| michael@8 | 42 | #D.12 Resolutions greater than 1366 X 768 (for example 1280 X 768) |
| michael@8 | 43 | are to be served with SVG graphics only to maintain asthetics. |
| michael@0 | 44 | |
| michael@0 | 45 | OPTIONS |
| michael@0 | 46 | |
| michael@0 | 47 | #O.01 Main window is scalable and provides window decorations. |
| michael@0 | 48 | ...this conflicts with #D.05 and must be implemented by |
| michael@0 | 49 | scaling UI components as well as the UI surface. |
| michael@0 | 50 | #O.02 Online update detection alerts user to pending new releases. |
| michael@0 | 51 | ...this complements #D.09 but must be implemented separately. |
