Scaling application
So with the wrapping up of the semester, and the conclusion of my Intro to CS class, I'm itching to put my mad programing skills (more like weak n00b skills) to work. Anyways, I had a brilliant idea a while back about writing a Java application that would take detailed measurements from a user and return approximate sizes for scaling the armor. The program would be used as a guide for n00bs (and maybe advanced builders). I realize that each person is different, but this program would hopefully be able to get the scaling very close.
This is what I have for the GUI. Opening screen has the use select the type of armor (MK5, MK6, ODST, etc), and then show the user what body measurements need to be taken, and provide slots for entering in those measurements. The user would then hit "submit", and be taken to a new screen which shows each part and the scale hight that should be used. There's a few details that would make the flow easier, but that's the basic, overall plan of things.
With your help, I would write this program to be able to scale every type of Halo armor (MK5, MK6, ODST, Noble 6, Emile, etc), and possibly some of the other types of armor (Ironman, War Hammer). I would need your detailed measurements, and what height you scaled your armor to.
I will be writing this in Java, and make the source code available for modification and the like. I only ask that any modifications be submitted to me before it's made available to the world.
So with that said, what's the interest? Is this something that could help people get their armor scaled correctly? Or would this cause more problems than it's worth?
