Instead of filling in the blanks to funny MAD LIBS stories, users of HAB LIBS fill in the blanks to common e-mail templates such as, “Let’s set up a time to meet” and “Thank you for your inquiry.” When users tap a conductive play dough sculpture onto workMat’s button, the cursor tabs through the HAB LIBS text boxes to fill in the blanks. After filling in the blanks and hitting the “Draft it!” button, the email is saved to the user’s draft folder in their email account. Players also have the opportunity to update their responses after seeing the drafted email. The draft is updated when the user presses the “Update it” button.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1431890529215{padding: 20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]

Make your own GUI

[/vc_column_text][list type=”arrow”]

• Download and Install the G4P GUI Builder Tool, a visual GUI builder for Processing. NOTE: be sure to install the correct version of the tool to work with the version of Processing you have. In my experience, the tool does not work with Processing 3.0.
• Use the HAB LIBS source code in the HAB LIBS github repository as a guide to help restructure the GUI you’ve designed for HAB LIBS.
