Cybiko, Inc. has
prepared more than 200 service applications and games for release. These
applications help attain a wide range of purposes, but they have uniform
principles of user interface construction. Therefore, the menu, the lists, and
the dialog box look and function identically in all applications. This is
important, and it averts numerous problems. The developer might have the
problem of debugging the applications, and the user might face the clarity
problem.
This section contains
recommendations for developing your own Cybiko applications. By adhering to
these recommendations, you will follow the principles of forming the
applications interface which the Cybiko, Inc. programmers use. This section is
broken into subsections. The largest subsection comprises a set of pages
describing dialog box types. It is called "Dialogs Views". You will find
recommendations on choosing a level of the game, its beginning, interruption,
and completion, as well as the initial conditions. You will find the rules concerning
applications titles and the handling of sound in separate pages. More rules are
assembled in the "Miscellaneous" section. Note that the interface standards are
still in the development stage and they are being supplemented. If you have a
question, analyze the application interfaces on your Cybiko computer or the interfaces
which you can download from www.cybiko.com/download.
