I transferred the applet over to the website. The URL is: http://www.hev.utulsa.edu/challengex/HybridHyjinx/

Fixed DNS Problems

I fixed my DNS problems, so www.optimize-life.net/challengex and so forth should work again now. If they're ever not working, it's most likely because lanauth logged out the box, in which case just let me know and I'll log it back in. Soon, I'll have the applet on the TU website, but we're still going to have to go through my box (Megatron, if you were wondering) for SVN. I don't see any way around that.

Meeting Report, 12/14

Agenda

We have a second meeting with our customer, Dr. Patton. The meeting went for about 30 minutes and here’s what we did:

• Demonstrate prototype

• Feedback: Dr. Patton thinks the game is pretty good so far.

• Discuss next steps: store, style of graphic. We discussed the idea of having body shop inside the game. Dr. Patton also like that idea

• Music: the current background music is annoying after awhile. We will need to have an option where user can change the volume, turn off, or change to a different track.

• Trivia questions: Dr. Patton will provide us with more trivia questions in the type of true false. There might be some fill in the blank question.

• GM Stock image, access permission to shared space. Amanda should have access to the ChallengeX folder inside shared space. Also, we got access to the TU ChallengeX host where we can upload our game up now. One thing we forgot is to ask for a student access to the real ChallengeX website to get stock images.



Tasks (to be done over the break)



Amanda

• Work on the store idea of the game

• Might do some coding with Kien to integrate the new graphic

Kristina

• Find better background music, sound effect

Austin

• Improve the game logic and data compression

• Implement saved game system

• Implement backend for administrators to update the questions.

Kien

• Request the mysql database account (in progress)

• Redesign the interface, make everything consistent





Have a wonderful vacation everyone!

Main Screen

The first image is my idea whether we should have a side bar that will have hints and other stats.

The last image I used my own picture so we don't have to worry about copyright for that one.










Here are some of the Main Screen for the game...I'll upload as soon as I created a new one.
