Text bombing Application

Description:
This app allows you to send up to 500 text messages at once to one person. This is known by many people as "Text Bombing" and is annoys a lot of people. However, it is very fun to do to people. You pick a person from your contacts using the "Phone Number" button. Then you type whatever you want to say in the text box. next you adjust the slider for how many texts you want to send. The number next to the slider is how many texts that will be sent. When you are ready, click the "Send" button and wait for your friend to be irritated with hundreds of texts.

Conclusion Questions:

  1. We brainstormed for ideas, chose one and determined how we would accomplish it. Then using a feedback loop we went into development and completed the goal we set out to accomplish. overall it was a very simple creative process. It was rather useful. I believe it was not very restricting which was a good thing. this is because you can go back and redo steps if necessary. 
  2. Our team worked very well together because we know each other and are friends. We enjoy each others company which makes working together a lot easier. Very little disagreements arose but the ones that did we resolved logically.
  3. Our App was trying to solve the problem of boredom and give a way to send mass amounts of texts to one person when you have a smart phone. smart phones cannot do this very efficiently but this app does it for you.
  4. The hardest challenges to overcome were getting the app to send a text message and figuring out why a "run-time error" kept popping up. We solved it by making a side app just to send one text and figuring out why texts were not being sent. We accomplished this by changing the message being set when the message box lost focus, to the message being set when the "Send" button was pressed. Once we accomplished this the "run-time error" went away as well. so we took out two birds with one stone here.

     5. Given more time, we could add a sound file that plays in the background. We could also add a phone number box that allows you to type phone numbers manually. Lastly we could add the ability to send many text to multiple people through phone numbers and emails.
