My app’s interface is supposed to confuse the user with the very simplistic look. Because there are no directions of use, the user will most likely tap around the screen. The “im_ready” text is actually a button that changes to “goofy_goober” when tapped. A sound of Spongebob Squarepants laughing plays when button is pressed. The sound clip is longer than expected, and if the user is caught off guard, the user might press the button again in hopes to end the obnoxious laughter. By doing this, the laughing soundtrack starts again over the original playing one, similar to a Row Row Row Your Boat situation. The user either panics and spams the button, continuing the cycle, or must wait for the sound clips to end. The hint below of “I like milkSHAKES” is also supposed to puzzle the user. As an easter egg, if the user shakes the phone, the phone will plead in a text to speech voice, “Oh Please Stop, For the love of god I’m going to throw up.” The word “god” is lowercased because the technology deity that this android emulator worships does not correlate to the God in Christian faith. Must ensure not to offend any android emulators. I tried to verify if the code for shaking worked by pressing buttons or aggressively shaking my laptop. Because I could not emulate a shaking motion with the emulator, I could not test out if the accelerometer sensor works. This app was fun, and I would absolutely try this again if the emulator did not keep crashing during the experimental phase of this procedure. I published the app and tried to find a link to my work, but the app gallery would not load on my computer. The name of my app is kiwi and it has a logo of an inverted grayscale colored acorn.
