1. Status Report 21 October 2009

2.  Scene Player is fully implemented.  HCI surveys are completed.  Content Editor is almost fully implemented.  Motion has been greatly improved.  Skin scripts have been drafted.  Code Inspections are ongoing.  Integration of skin parser complete.

3.  Dynamic Control Orientation  Most popular control scheme.  A small minority of users found it confusing. This will be addressed in the instructions.  Menu Scheme – Ring Menu was by far the most popular.

4.  Content – Getting images and music for the skins may be difficult.  Mitigation: take pictures of different places, apply filters, and use those as backgrounds. Use GarageBand to create simplistic music.  Code Inspections – More time consuming than anticipated  Mitigation – focus on the most complex and potentially problematic areas of the system.

7.  Content Editor needs to export skins.  Skin content creation.  Implement skins using Content Editors.  Implement Trivia Editor.  HCI Testing for Appeal.

8.  Scene Player implementation.  Individual SceneCommand subclasses completed.  Display of level summary screen.  Skin Parser integration.  Removal of hard-coded test data.  Draft of Halloween skin.

9.  Completed Level.  Implemented Trivia question system.  Prepared demonstration version of program for HCI testing.  Designed and implemented decision menu.  Implemented PostProcessingEffect system.  Removed hard-coding of skin, created new sample skin file.

10.  HCI Questions for testing  Formed the initial design of the questionnaires.  Content Editor  Helped to design the initial GUI  Implemented most of the back end.  Tested and used a third-party graphics library for VB-incompatible graphics files (such as TGA).  Implemented most of the level editor.

11.  Completed Motion.  Code Review  PostProcessingEffect classes, Input, Menu, MenuManager  Compiled results of HCI testing.  Prepared Motion Instructions poster.

12.  Designed Boys’ storyline.  Designed Girls’ storyline.  Paperwork’d for HCI testing.  Designed Content Editor.  Helped to implement the back end.  Fixed Skin Parser to work with new Scene architecture.  Code Review  PostProcessingEffect classes, Input, Menu, MenuManager
