"Escape to Pokagon" - Screenshots from Other Programs
Matt Gerber took the basic text approach with his program, but even here you can still see stylistic differences betwenn his program and my program using the same data files at the same point in the exploration of the park:
This implementation by Nicholas Vidovich shows what you can do with "text graphics".
This example from Megan Bessick's program was typical of the use of the EzWindows graphics package that is featured in the textbook we used in our programming course (Cohoon and Davidson, "C++ Program Design"). The majority of students first wrote a test program that demonstrated cycling through a set of photo images displayed in an EzWindow window via simple commands entered from the MS-DOS command window. Her program used the MS-DOS text window for all interactions, with EzWindows providing the means for visualization via images. Megan did not take a road trip; instead, she took photos from around campus and town and used them in her program.
This example for Tom Jonell and Chris Pfeifer also used EzWindows in combination with a text window. However, they found their images via internet searches, then made "subtle" additions such as the signage you see in the above screen shot.
Eric Stockwell and Sean Luther also used the EzWindows graphics package. They employed mouse events to register user activities, presenting text descriptions in the MS-DOS window and visuals in the EzWindows window. Inquiries for determining which items to pick up or drop were done as needed in the text window. They also took a road trip to Pokagon, but got out of paying the $5 out-of-state entrance fee by stating that this was part of a class assignment (which it was!). The photo you see here is of the Indiana DNR official staffed at the entrance gate that day.
