Status Report21 October 2009

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
