Team Characters for Drop Dock Go

Dock Drop Go UPDATE

This project is making good progress now. Georgie has been working on the charcters and the game’s overall visual aesthtic. Irene has been developing the technical aspects in Flash. Matt is working on the game animations and possibly the data visualisation aspect of the project.

Identified Issues
Timing is a key factor now. With 3 weeks until presentation day the group are employing the KISS methodology: Keep It Simple Stupid. If we haven’t developed any aspect of the game now, it won’t happen for this version. In fact we should probably start giving the game a version number eg DockDrop Go v1 because we plan to develop the game in the future.

Project management is essential to the success of this game. The three group members have been delegated their various tasks and have had some good meetings in the last couple of weeks. It’s now a question of stitching the parts together to form this augmented reality game.

Georgie is to develop the website in WordPress that will host the game, but may need some help with displaying the scores and updating them in real time. Irene is getting to grips with animating the character but looks like she has found a solution to saving scores in a data file and using php to call these scores.

The testing stage is looking imminent.
