C1

Accomplished this week:
  1. This week, our lab table completed both level one and level two of our game.
  2. Following this, we performed the intermediate testing of our program. This included playing the game and recording all engineering requirements which were not met. Once this information was recorded we were able to create charts that displayed the testing information.
  3. The programmers then utilized this testing information to alter the program and make sure it met the engineering requirements. The final report was started and is almost complete.
To be accomplished next week:
  1. We still have yet to complete the final testing of the program. The Final Report is almost complete, we just need to include the final testing results once the testing is carried out and finish everything up.
  2. We also have to complete this group’s portion of the design manual and email it to Monika. This will then be edited by her and passed onto Amie, who will then email it to Joe.
  3. The lab also needs to complete the poster for the open house. Another important task is to integrate and connect all the games within the lab.
