Snap Happy Wedding Game

Well, after much consideration, I decided that allowing the customer to load any music file they already have on their hard drive was the only way I could see of avoiding copyrighting issues. Instead of displaying Lyrics the game will now display the details of the wedding and the names of the bridal group. This means the order form has grown a little but these things would be futher refined as the game is customised.

The copyright owners would have earned money every time a game was sold, but having to employ copyright lawyers whose fees can be over £100 an hour is not an option I would be willing to pursue right now. There is no way that applying for permission to use a different piece of music for every new order would be feasible. I could be waiting for months for a reply and the costs would be too high!

The Snappy Happenings web site has been updated and everything is now in place to receive orders. Anyone....?

Snappy Happenings

I've been working on a Snap Happy Wedding game as a present for my sister. The amount of photos increased to 30, as I didn't want to leave anybody out. I had to edit all the photo's widths so they fitted on the cards. The music plays when ten snaps have been completed.
I changed the theme to the wedding colours and tartan.
I tried to use some freeware packagers for Java to make an easily installable package, but my files are for Processing. Perhaps I should make a main java class which loads the processing code but I'm not sure how to do this and info is a bit scarce.
In the end I found a 30 day trial version of a commercial program that works great with processing applications. Unfortunately, it would cost over 200 pounds to purchase! If the project were a success it would be worth the outlay but I cant justify this cost at the moment.

The installer generates an msi setup program that is great for Windows and there is an option for OS. Shortcuts are added wherever you denote and you can even have a product key that is checked online.
The file must be zipped if it is sent by hotmail or messenger but googlemail accepts it as it is. This is strange when you consider that the msi format is a Microsoft convention...

The photos in the lyrics section have a randomised tint applied.
