Hi dudes and dudettes!

I've been working on a little tool for surveying Light and Shadow Character. Its part of a game-lighting related research at my school which Im doing, but I thought it would be nice to get some input from you guys too.

The tool is made in Multimedia fusion, and comes with English and Japanese support!

When you have finished the test, it will upload the result, this might mean you will have to allow it through your firewall if you have one.

here is the link:

heh.. its not about getting a high score =)..

its about creating knowledge regarding game lighting and shadows! I will publish the results when they are complete for everyone to take advantage of, of course.

An Interesting tool. Two things I noticed.

1) Your eyes adjust to whats on the screen currently, so one room would look lighter or brighter depending on what you last chose. I'm not sure if this is intended or not. If it isn't, I would suggest displaying the message on a black screen for a few seconds before each command. So that the users eyes are always adjusted to a similar brightness level.

2) The feedback thing at the end sends when you press enter. But the form looks like it's for multiline comments, so if you go to write a second paragraph it will send your unfinished comment.

Hey, interesting! What will the outcomes of this be, Wreck? Will there be similar studies?

We like quizzes.

the results will look like this:

The previous tool used alot more fuzzy terms, this time im trying to get the basic things down first.

Edit:

an interesting result from the current question set based on the 26 recipients so far:
