Activity 1 - Story
Create a simple story by asking the user's name and including it in the text. Load suitable images on the screen as the story progresses. Control the story with command buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Activity 2 - Cruise Booking
Write an application that will work out the ticket prices and show booking details for users of a ferry ride company. Users should be able to click on various options on the interface and it should then show them the details of the booking (ie ferry, cruise, number of persons) and the total price.
There will be two ferries: The Roamer and the Bustela
There will be a choice of three different cruises:
- Morning Cruise
- Round the River
- Dinner Cruise
There should be adult and children's tickets
Prices are as follows:
- Adult ticket: $20.00 + $15 extra if it is the dinner cruise
- Child ticket: $10.00 + $10 extra for dinner cruise
The interface should be both attractive and functional.
Activity 3 - Fat Counter
Here are the Kilojoules and Fat value for a single slice of Pizza Hut Pizza
| Per slice | Fat (g) | KJoules |
| Hawaiian Pan | 9 | 1178 |
| Hawaiian Thin 'n Crispy | 9 | 1005 |
| BBQ Meat Lovers Pan | 12 | 1300 |
| BBQ Meat Lovers Thin 'n Crispy | 12 | 1170 |
| Super Supreme Pan | 13 | 1378 |
| Super Supreme Thin 'n Crispy | 12 | 1175 |
Design and build an application that allows the user to select the number of slices of each type that they want to eat and it will calculate the Fat and Energy (Kj) value of the meal.
Alternatively visit one of the following sites and design a variation of the above application based on the information you find:
McDonalds: http://www.dietclub.com.au/createameal/?menu=1
Pizza Hut: http://www.dietclub.com.au/createameal/?menu=2
Subway: http://www.dietclub.com.au/createameal/?menu=3
(Note: As a rough guide, a healthy diet for an average adult should include no more than about 60 grams of fat per day.)
Activity 4 - Robotics
If your school has a Lego robotics kit, then you can investigate using Visual Basic to control your robots.
