This is a small software with his flow chart, created using Action Script 2, for the fourth part of the assignment of Interaction course, by Yaniv Steiner.
To see the application, click on this button…(In the page of Screencast there is an attachment with the code of the software).
This post is dedicated to the new application for the iPhone that Ornella Giau and me designed starting from a code by Yaniv Steiner.
iPhault is a small trick to do to friends. It consists in macking believe who touches the iPhone left on the table, to have created a damage to the system: icons of the display fall down, a strange error signs will start to be displayed in the background, until a final black screen. This is because the application was programmed to display a sequence, frame by frame images, simulating a crash video, once the sensor of the movement feels a vibration. The idea arose because we wanted to create a small game to hit those people who are unable to avoid to browses phones left in a moment unattended. We found simulating a crash the most interesting because who is not afraid of viruses that cause irreparable damage to items of technology?!

This are the four flows of simple applications developed by Yaniv Steiner: Magic Card(the one we chose), Moving Pictures, 8 Ball and GirlFriend.
We have made some changes to the original flow and this is the one for iPhault..
We made icon, the initial splash, and the static image (typical iPhone interface) and all the images that appear on the screen once the application starts. When the sensor detects a vibration images in succession appaer of the screen, that fake to display the damage has broken it.
And these are the icon and the splash image ..
Below there is a simple video that explains how it works.
DESCRIPTION:
Trick your friends and make them believe they messed up your iPhone. Simply run the application and,with nonchalance, leave it still on the table. The first curious guy that touches it, will launch an animation sequence simulating a crash: icons fall down, get pixelated and strange error signs will start to be displayed in the background… Only for few second, enjoy his temporary panic and raise an evil grin.
Nevertheless worry not, your phone will return to its perfect functional state, simply by pressing the home button as you both laugh together (hopefully!).
