Introduction to Prototype
Our computer prototype for PennyPincher is made for mobile phone web browsers, primarily for phones with touch screens.
To view and test the prototype, please go to http://web.mit.edu/engiarta/Public/PennyPincher_PROTO/Home.html.
To download a copy of the source code, please go to http://web.mit.edu/engiarta/Public/PennyPincher_PROTO/download_zip.html or go to the settings page of the site.
Please note that the design was implemented with JQuery Mobile and HTML5. It was tested primarily on the iPod Touch and the iPhone.
A portion of the information reflected in the prototype are canned and not consistant; this will be fixed and addressed for the implementation in GR5. Unimplemented pages will be greeted by an "unimplemented" message.
