Status Control
Project Origins
I wanted a cooler way to manage my time and had just seen a very nice looking UI in a movie that I wanted to reproduce, so I made a little application in Unity that was basically a status selector.
This is a screenshot of the Mobile Application
It was made in Unity, which is a pretty heavy framework for such a small application
Pictured to the right a couple of important elements can be recongnized :
- A status bar that is red or blue depending on the server connection
- Current status
- Three cells with a date, a time since last status change, and a message of the day
- List of possible statuses, which are dynamically loaded from the server, and fall back to these 5 when no connection is available
- A button that shows a list of past statuses and the dates
The fun part about this project is that both servers run on this machine, which means I can just pull the current status and display it below :
Current status :SLEEPING
It also has a cool little confirm menu for when you select a new status, with the margin moving around
Maybe I went a bit overboard with the bloom, but I really liked it at the time, and it was true to the source material, which was the main operating system in the fictional work Knights of Sidonia
