Week 6 EOC: There's an App for That
It
toke me awhile to think of something that someone would pay $0.99 when it comes
to an app that they can put on their cell phone, and finally I found one. The idea came from a multi-player online game
that I currently play called Final Fantasy XI.
There are a lot of things that one can do on this game but and one of
them is something called “Trial of the Magians.” It is where someone or if so desired a group
of people can get together and accomplish the same goal for each of their
characters. The way this works is you
would get a certain trial for your character stating for each player to kill a
certain number of monsters of a specific type on a certain day of the week in
the games calendar or during the corresponding weather. Since weather can be so random, a lot times
it is just easier to plan on accomplishing these objectives on that specific
day of the week. How you can apply this
to a mobile device is simple, one needs to make a calendar with the days of the
week of the game on it and sync it with the actual calendar of the game, so
they are in unison in real time. Someone
could download this app to their phone and see what exact day of the week it is
on the game and if they wanted they could search for a specific day and when it
would start and end in earth time. This
way someone could plan their day more effectively to accomplish something that
they really want on the game without having to log on and wait till the game
day needed starts. There are quite a few
people in the world who still enjoy playing this game and if there is something
out there that they could use to make it easier for them to get what they want
in this game, they would easily spend $0.99 to get it.
