Ryerson Film Simulator K Chen

The Ryerson Film Program Simulator is the most accurate simulation of the coveted, “Ivy
League” Ryerson Film Program yet.
The first screen in the App provides you with three options: “Complete a Lecture”, “Complete an
Assignment” and “Progress Report”. These options encompass every aspect of the Ryerson
Film Program.
The Lecture window functions as a way to accurately simulate an actual Ryerson University
Film Program lecture. It even detects your location, requiring that you locate yourself on campus
before allowing you to begin tracking your time — just like in real life. Similarly, the app
demands nothing else beside geographic location to verify that you are learning. Once your
lecture is over, you can hold down the “Finish Learning” button to return to the home screen.
The tracked time is stored online using TinyWebDB.
The Assignment window allows students to learn how to make films, just as one would in the
Ryerson Film Program. Touching the “Record Movie” button opens an instance of the device’s
camcorder, allowing you to record a wonderful student short film. Once you are done making
your masterpiece, you can choose to hand in your film, after which the app creates generates a
grade using an algorithm that replicates precisely the marking methods of Ryerson film
professors. The grade, along with the number of instances which you’ve completed an
assignment, are stored using TinyWebDB.
Finally, the Progress Report tabulates all of the statistics stored on TinyWebDB. Once you’ve
completed 1440 hours of lecture, 24 assignments and paid your tuition fee, the app will prompt
you for your name and generate a degree. An embedded instance of the Paypal website allows
users to pay tuition.
