Nothing?? Man, fuck.

Zombie survival plan? What is this I don't even...

>>4561247

It was meant to be for a natural disaster. Didn't have to be realistic, fuck fire, earthquake or tsunami, gotta have that unreal feel you know?

Creativity rather than actual research, how the fuck can you research a zombie apocalypse?

wrong board man

Don't worry, I will be posting into /v/ and /g/ also. Gotta spread this shit out.

>>4561257
>how the fuck can you research a zombie apocalypse?

There is plenty of documentation in movies, role-playing games, video games, board games, anime, manga, and now even some series.
If you want to do your thing about something unreal, why not add a proper documentation based on unreal media? I mean, if I see a properly written doc with many references to movies to backup every "fact", I'll be a happy teacher.

/k/ has some people stupid enough to believe a zombie apocalypse is a real possibility they need to be prepared for. /sci/ is smarter.

>>4561263

You have a good point. I'll listen to that.

Although the questionnaire is more about the aesthetics of the interface, not the actual content itself.

>>4561265

Yeah, aesthetics bro.

Damn, you guys suck tonight. Well, thanks for your time.

Whops, in fact I'm a Medical Student, I foresee to be a GP, my bad.

Only answering 1 question:
I don't want too much data on the screen at the same time because I want it to be easy to read even if I'm running, driving, holding something or basically doing stuff that I can't do properly while keeping a smartphone stable in front of me and focusing on small fonts on it.

OP source on some of the pics?

>>4561321

Source is from /b/ and /wg/ unfortunately, so no idea on source.

- Proficiency with touchscreens (1 – 10, 1 is worst) 7? My dad has a phone with a touch screen, I use use it just fine. I game a lot so I'd probably have no problem getting better.
- Do you have a Zombie Survival Plan? No

1. What would you consider most important for a survival app?
d. Medical section

1.1. Why? (Optional)
Hardest to get. Would soon become a resource with an astronomical cost as well, worst comes, you could buy protection. If not, you have health at your disposal. (Hopefully also knowledge)
2. Which method of navigation would be better suited for an app?
c. Swipe. how about Sweeping? Though I might not really understand the question.

3. How much information would you want to see per page?
none of the options, as much as can be put in without making a mess or unappealing. Organization and menus over cramming everything on screen.
4. What features would you expect to see in a Zombie Survival Guide? (optional)
Ideas for safe shelter, food, medication, protection, and banding together with people who are safe.

Now keep posting those pictures.

Maps seem somewhat superfluous if you have a plan, you can make your own map. D.I.Y kit teaches you pretty much everything useful, which I don't know already. Wiki isn't accurate. Medical supplies seem superfluous if you can't cure zombie virus

Thanks man, I believe that we may have the same idea with swipe or sweeping.

I am referring to using a single finger in a sideways motion to flick between screens. Maybe even a vertical motion also.

The map would have places of interest on it. Safe zones, places to stay away, other people in your vicinity etc.

4. functions for locating others with the same app, perhaps, and a easy-to-use interface - no bullshit.

>>4561331

Thank you.

The medical section would be more tailored toward treating non-zombie ailments. Like treating a broken leg, or a stab wound.

>>4561336
>>4561336

sounds like your on the right track then. As much as it sucks, just don't bite off more than you can chew.

>>4561338

Thanks bro, yeah an easy interface is what I am aiming for, try to get it with as little clutter as possible

Some basic anonymous info first:
- 18
- Male
- Med student
- France
- Yes
- 10, I guess
- No

1. What would you consider most important for a survival app?
a. Maps (as long as they're offline): paper maps are not very common anymore, so combined with the compass on the smartphone it can be useful.
d. Medical section: Basic first aid is always important, plus some common drugs, maybe how to set a broken bone, how to sew stuff up...

If you can only choose one, Medical.

2. Which method of navigation would be better suited for an app?
a. Buttons: straightforward UI

3. How much information would you want to see per page?
b. Medium/some: probably a small summary for a quick, easy access to the most important info, plus some more precise, denser content if needed.

4. What features would you expect to see in a Zombie Survival Guide? Assuming not everyone is familiar with zombies, relevant data: different types of zombies (fast/slow), how to eliminate them efficiently, different types of infection/transmission and prevention...

5. How would you expect the layout to be on a Smartphone?
As clear and easy to navigate as possible. You should be able to access the relevant data as fast as possible.

Thank you for your input.

Also, a quick analysis of the data shows you're the first chick to post. Welcome stranger haha.

>>4561432
I wonder if that is due to:
- The sample being too small for the law of large number to apply, making the number of females look lower than it should,
- The sample being among /sci/'s population,
- The sample being among those that want to answer something about a zombie apocalypse app.

I'd go for the last two.

zombies are gay

>>4561434

It was a quick look over the /sci/ data I have gathered.

But yeah probably the last one too.
