Non-game App Idea
For our Non-game App idea we have decided to go with creating a steganography tool. For those of you who don't know what that means it is the practice of hiding data within other data. For our project the data that we are going to be hiding is text and the medium that we are going to hide it within will be images. The purpose of the app will be to encode images with a string of text and then be able to send it via Email or SMS. Once someone has received the message on the other end they can use the same app to pull out the text that will be hidden.

Steganography is a very interesting topic choice. I look forward to seeing what direction this takes...
ReplyDeleteP.S. This blog post would have been better if it included an explanatory graphic about steganography, or a comic (e.g., http://randomperspective.com/comic/93/ ), and a web-link to the wikipedia article on Steganography!
