Abstract or Executive Summary

A word typing maze is a type of puzzle games where a player moves in

complex and branched passages to find a particular target or location by

typing the words given. One method to create a maze is the Growing Tree

method. The method creates a tree that has branches which are the paths

of a maze. This research explored three types of Growing Tree method

implementations for maze generation on Android mobile devices. The

layouts produced could be played in first and third-person perspectives.

The experiment results showed that it took 17.3 seconds on average to

generate 20 cells x 20 cells dynamic maze layouts.

CHAPTER I

PROBLEM AND IT’S BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

The basic technique stands in contrast to hunt and peck typing in which
the typist keeps his or her eyes on the source copy at all times. Word
typing maze also involves the use of the home row method, where typists
keep their wrists up, rather than resting them on a desk
or keyboard (which can cause carpal tunnel syndrome). To avoid this,
typists should sit up tall, leaning slightly forward from the waist, place their
feet flat on the floor in front of them with one foot slightly in front of the
other, and keep their elbows close to their sides with forearms slanted
slightly upward to the keyboard; fingers should be curved slightly and rest
on the home row.
Hunt and peck (two-fingered typing) is a common form of typing in which
the typist presses each key individually. Instead of relying on the
memorized position of keys, the typist must find each key by sight. Use of
this method may also prevent the typist from being able to see what has
been typed without glancing away from the keys. Although good accuracy
may be achieved, any typing errors that are made may not be noticed
immediately due to the user not looking at the screen. There is also the
disadvantage that because fewer fingers are used, those that are used are
forced to move a much greater distance. With the introduction of
computers and word-processors, there has been a change in how text-
entry is performed. In the past, using a typewriter, speed was measured
with a stopwatch and errors were tallied by hand. With the current
JOHN PAUL COLLEGE IT Education Department

technology, document preparation is more about using word-processors

as a composition aid, changing the meaning of error rate and how it is
measured. Research performed by R. William Soukoreff and I. Scott
MacKenzie, has led to a discovery of the application of a well-known
algorithm. Through the use of this algorithm and accompanying analysis

technique, two statistics were used, minimum string distance error

rate (MSD error rate) and keystrokes per character (KSPC). The two
advantages of this technique include.
Many touch typists also use keyboard shortcuts when typing on a
computer. This allows them to edit their document without having to take
their hands off the keyboard to use a mouse. An example of a keyboard
shortcut is pressing the Ctrl key plus the S key to save a document as

they type, or the Ctrl key plus the Z key to undo a mistake. Many

experienced typists can feel or sense when they have made an error and
can hit the ← Backspace key and make the correction with no increase in
time between keystrokes.

Project context

The rapidly recognition of the value of keyboarding skills is a computer

dominate business and technical world has focused attention on the need

for teaching those skill in a large scale,effective manner. The secondary

public school are responding to this need by providing a large portion of

the students body with keyboarding instruction. Additionally, because of

perceived advantages in using microcomputers to actually teach the

keyboarding curriculum, school systems are attempting to acquire

expensive hardware and software for that purpose. This study compared

the rates at which secondary keyaboarding students in an urban high

school acquired typing speed using microcomputers with the rates at

which student acquired typing speed using electric or android phone.The

chapter to come include a review of the relevant literature, a detailed

description of the methods and procedures utilized, the findings of the

study, and the conclusions and recommendation resulting from the study.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

School-base keyboarding coursework has been available since will before
microcomputers were abundants in the public schools. The transition in
classroom equipment has reflected the technology, progressing through
computer and mobile phone to android using word processing or typing
instructional software.
Keyboarding instruction is a topic not attracting much attention in the
traditional educational journals. Publish research relating to keyboarding
instruction is mostly found in business education journals, and,more
recently. In publication dealing with technology applications in education.
Perhaps because the subject is sometimes treated as a lower priority part
of the school curriculum, a very large percentage of the literature on
speedtyping instruction can roughly be categorized as advocacy in nature.
The explosive growth of computers in all vocational settings,however,has
recently provided the empirical basis for research showing concrete
relationships between keyboarding skills and later life success.
Although the research objective of this project deal with the effectiveness
of contrasting instructional methods, the review of literature will include
references which illustrate the growing importance of keyboarding
instruction in elementary,secondary,and postsecondary education for nearly
all categories of students. It is this growing value of keyboarding instruction
which supports the merits of evaluating and improving the educational
process in keyboarding.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presented the research design, system development

life cycle and roles in responsibilities in the development of Payroll

Management System.

Research Design

The creation of Evaluation System is started in researching. This

study is focused on purely research. Through research and data gathering

in the internet. It based on the needs and problems in calculating the

employees salary and deductions.

According to Jackson, S.L. (2009). Descriptive research methods are

pretty much as they sound — they describe situations. They do not make

accurate predictions, and they do not determine cause and effect.There are

three main types of descriptive methods: observational methods, case-

study methods and survey methods. This article will briefly describe each

of these methods, their advantages, and their drawbacks. This may help

you better understand research findings, whether reported in the

mainstream media, or when reading a research study on your own.

System Development Life Cycle

Figure 2

The System Development Life Cycle

The waterfall model is one of the earliest models in which the phases

are executed sequentially. Software development starts with the first stage,

the moose down for the various stages until the last stage: implementing

the software in a live environment. All stages are cascaded so that each

stage will only start when all the tasks identified in the previous stage

arecomplete. There is no overlap between the phases. The waterfall model

is best suited for projects where time limit is not the primary requirement.

Scheduling can be done easily in the waterfall model due to the

structure of phase completion. The start and end times of each phase can
JOHN PAUL COLLEGE IT Education Department

be clearly defined and no phase begins until after the completion of the

previous phase. PAGE 13

REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS

Software Requirements

1. Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express

This programming language we used is for developing our system

and we choose this because this is easy to use. And this programming

language is a multi paradigm, object oriented programming

implemented on the .NET framework.

2. Microsoft Access 2013

We used this as the database of our system.

3. Microsoft Word 2016

This software is we used for creating our documentation or the

system.

4. Microsoft PowerpointPresenation

Using this software helps us to create the presentation about our

system and documentation.

JOHN PAUL COLLEGE IT Education Department PAGE 14

Hardware Requirement

We used this kind of hardware:

Edition : Windows 10 home single language

Version : 1607

OS Build :14393,1944

Product ID : 00327- 44018- 13672- AAOEM

Processor : Intel(R) Pentuim (R) CPU N3710 @ 1.60GHz

Installed Ram : 4.00 GB

System Type : 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Manufacturer : Dell

That hardware requirement is not a required, because you can use

any kind of operating system, the only required is the RAM because the

required RAM is 4GB above to prevent the logging of the system.

JOHN PAUL COLLEGE IT Education Department

PAGE 15

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING

It is important to our system to test before we present our system.

Development and testing is important, because it is important to us to see

and to know where is the error on our system.

This is important to know where is the error to easly fixed that errors.

when we start to develop the system for the school, to make their work

easeir ad faster. After we developed the system we need to test. Because

testing is very important if you develop the system because we will know if

there is an error to the system or there is a problem so we need to fixed that

problem. And it will make sure that the system is system is ready to use. So

before we published the system we need to test.
