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.
