The graphical user interface, or GUI, is the method a game uses to communicate with the player and has a large impact on the gameplay experience. The goal of this project was to design a GUI for a music oriented game that allows players to construct a custom instrument using instruments they have acquired throughout the game. Based on our research of GUIs, we designed a prototype in Unity that incorporates a grid system that responds to keypress and mouse click events. We then performed a playtest and conducted a survey with students to acquire feedback about the simplicity and effectiveness of our design. We found that our design had some confusing elements, but was overall intuitive and easy to use.
