Mentor Post: User Interface

Last year Anthony did a great job of making a functional, if not pretty user interface. This year I am asking him to focus on producing a more informative interface and building it in a way that is understandable to the team and extensible.

The team would like to show a map on the phone display. To allow this to be build without requiring a functioning robot and full scale maze I am going to ask Anthony to port the maze simulator and build a UI for it in Android Studio.

I will encourage him to use MVC techniques to build the interface. This will allow him to apply the same interface to the robot code once it is ready. I am also asking him to at least review the material design techniques. I hope that if he follows some of the patterns he will find it easier to build the user interface and modify it as we move forward.
