MIT App Inventor

Journal 1/15/2020

I began constructing the app by uploading a photo of the former FSU Head Football Coach, Willie Taggart, in his former glory. Under his photo, I inserted a button that included the text “FIRE AT WILL…”. It took me a while to figure out how to insert a new screen but I finally located the option to add a screen at the top of the web page. I added a second screen so that I could add a new photo. The second photo was of a dumpster engulfed in flames. Once I had all of the media uploaded into the app builder, I moved on to the blocks.

The general idea was to determine a way to make the button located under the photo on screen one, move to screen two once pressed by the user. I used the blocks to arrange a series of actions that basically said: when button one is clicked, move to screen 2. It is an extremely simple action. The emulator was a challenge to figure out but I did get it to work… once. The emulator took forever to load on my computer and I had to update it twice before anything ever even seemed to work. I will include screenshots of my work below. Thanks.
