 For our assignment this week ( Assignment 8), my aim is for you to understand how Appcelerator Titanium would be used to build a Derby app – a Derby menu. Like last week, we will use a design/modeling tool (Figma) https://www.figma.com to design an app interface that looks like the one in Figure 10-10, p. 295. This can be an interface for iOS, Android, or Windows phone (your choice). Although we can only see a top view from the figure, several UI elements are needed to make the app functional. Our authors provide both a description and the associated JavaScript code for each UI element that can be used to create the Derby app (pp.292-307). In addition to modeling, your goal is to choose at least six (6) UI elements which you would use. Explain what and how these UI elements contribute to your app functionality as you modeled. If possible, draw a line on the interface to the UI functionality and explain. Remember that although you are using Titanium Studio, you are actually developing an iOS, Android, or Windows app. Therefore, discuss use of particulars for that platform. For example: a VIEW  is a basic UI element for either iOS or Android – Android apps always need “accelerator”  and “GPS” UI functionality; whereas these are native (built-in) for the iOS platform, etc. Discuss “JSON is your friend” (p. 302), regardless of which app platform you are building.

• First download and install Figma (can use comparable SW of your choice) on your computer. This is same as last week.

Make one screen shot here that shows you have install the Figma wireframing tool (or a comparable tool of your choice )* You are ready to start adding UI elements for (to model) your app matching the layout shown in Figure 10-10, p. 295

• Use Figma widgets/icons and create a mock interface (add at least six appropriate UI elements) that follow and match the Figure 10-10 example 

* Your app is using JavaScript coding, but you ARE NOT required to do/show any coding for this assignment.  Make a second screen shot showing the final placement of the UI elements on your model. Except for coding, this is a simulated app as it would appear if you used Titanium Studio. Lastly, review the coding that our authors provide (pp. 292-307); based on that coding:Write a brief explanation of each UI element you used – try to explain what specific function/method each UI provides that make your app functional.These two screen shots and UI explanations is the deliverable for Assignment. If you used supporting literature/videos other than your own, remember to properly cite and then include an APA style reference list.  

Network Design Paper:
 

Building dimensions:
Length: 240 Feet
Width: 95 Feet
Height: 30 Feet
 

The 40-year-old two-story building has the following existing layout:
 

There will be six computer labs that will be used for instruction. Each of these labs will have 21 computers (20 student computers and 1 instructor computer). Each of these labs will also have a server in the closet located inside the lab.
 

In addition to the six computer labs, there will also be a Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students to do their homework. There will be 30 computers in this lab and a server in the closet.
 

The library will also have some computers to allow students access to the library resources. There will be 10 computers for student’s use in the library, and 5 computers for Library staff.
 

There are five lecture classrooms in the building. Each of this room will have a computer for instructor’s use.
 

Finally, there are various offices in the building. Each of these offices will have one computer for the staff use, with the exception of the Admission office that will have 5 computers for staff use.
 

Two server rooms have been allocated, one on the first floor and one on the second floor.
 

Your task is to design the network for this new building with the following criteria:
• Student-accessed computers should be on separate network from the staff-accessed computers. There should be at least 3 separate networks: Administrative, Instructional, and Public. All staff-accessed computers will be on the Administrative network. The computers in the instructional computer labs that will be used for classes should be on the Instructional network. The wifi and the computers in the student lobby should be in the Public network.
• The whole building will share one Internet access connection (T-1 link from Verizon). This connection will come into the Server Room on the first floor. The Public IP address for the router here is 191.1.15.1
• • The network has been assigned the 10.15.0.0 network address for all computers and devices.
• The network should use physical cable (not wireless), but do provide wireless access in the Student Lobby area.
 

Submission should include (in no more than three pages, excluding diagrams and references):
 

Network Addressing:
1. Define the subnet (based on: rooms, floor, department, or other criteria).
2. For each subnet, explain which devices/groups/users/rooms will be on this subnet, define the network address, subnet mask, and available IP addresses to be used by computers or devices.
 

Physical Network Design:
1. Define the topology that will be used.
2. Select the appropriate network media to use.
3. Select the appropriate network connecting devices to use.
4. Physical layout of the computers on the floor plan.
5. List of additional servers or network devices needed to implement the network.
6. Justifications for your network design (number 1 – 5 above)
 

You will be evaluated on your ability to
 

o Implement appropriate IP addressing scheme
o select and justify appropriate cable media that includes the length of each cable segment and number of nodes on each segment
o select and justify appropriate topology such as star, bus, or ring for your network
o select and justify of your selected network equipments
o select and justify appropriate network services to meet network requirements
o select and justify security implementation for the network
o use proper grammar, formatting, network terminology, and reference citations

Compare hot sites and mobile sites.

Task Requirements

Many organizations plan for disasters by arranging for an alternative site in which the organization can

continue operations if the main location is unable to function. These alternate locations can be in different

buildings, different cities, or even different states, which depend on the type of disaster being prepared

for.

A hot site includes all the equipment and data necessary to take over business functions. A mobile site

can be set up in an outside space close to an impacted site.

Answer the following question(s):

1. In what type of situation would you choose a hot site rather than a mobile site? Explain your

answer.

2. In what type of situation would you choose a mobile site rather than a hot site? Explain your

answer.

Fully address the questions in this discussion; provide valid rationale for your choices.

Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs)

In a virtual world (VW) of massively multiplayer online  role-playing games (MMORPGs), collaboration and communication are  provided through the Internet between MMORPG-ready devices such as the  Microsoft Xbox, and Sony PlayStation, and by using the Web browser.  Gamers around the world can play against other gamers without seeing  their opponent face-to-face. The Internet and MMORPG devices have become  a social phenomenon. For example, a mobile game called “Game of War”  enables players to play against each other anywhere around the world.  Other diversions include Second Life which isn’t really a game at all,  but rather just that, another life people can live online through their  online persona. 

Before you begin this assignment, engage in an online game or  experience such as Game of War, Second Life, or Words With Friends,  which has a phone app you can download free or play from your computer  on the Internet or even as a Facebook app. It can be any game where you  are playing against a live person over the Web. If you have difficulty  finding an online multiplayer game, reach out to your instructor for  guidance.

Write a paper with screenshots from your experience in which you  complete the items below. Be sure to include what your choice was in the  introduction paragraph. Although there is not a specific page length,  you should fully explore and answer the questions asked. Typically you  will have two or three paragraphs with your main point supported by a  few sentences of fact for each. The goal is to convince the reader that  you have done your assigned reading and the additional research being  asked. 100 percent original work is required. 

1. Describe cognitive social phenomena that occur specifically to  the context of the MMORPG that wouldn’t happen in a face-to-face  checkers game.
2. Compare and contrast the MMORPG user interaction environment to  the face-to-face environment where a board game like Scrabble is being  played.
3. Assess whether or not the environment has an impact on the  player’s ability to play a game such as Words With Friends in this  environment.
4. Outline and describe the user interface requirements that a  game designer needs to include in order to engage players in an MMORPG  environment.
5. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For  assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing  Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your  professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Examine the difference in cognitive social phenomena between face-to-face and MMORPG interactions.
