Theme 1 Version 2

First, do we want to upgrade all the control buttons to have the plastic, 3d looking effect? Or keep the flat one? I changed the font back to original.

Please compare the Story screen's continue button with the Login screen's new user button. With the shadow effect and flat, or with plastic 3d looking with no shadow?

Meeting Summary

Meeting: Monday, March 19, 6pm

Attendees: Amanda, Kien, Austin, K

Agenda:
discuss Hepner's game suggestions
assign tasks

Accomplished:
made decisions on Hepner's suggestions:
1. visual right/wrong recognition to questions: red X and green check images that pop up after each question is answered (or timer expires)
2. purchasing bugs: will be resolved with testing
3. texture/reflectivity to car: not possible with our photoshop abilities and time frame
4. exit button confusion: all 'exit' buttons will be changed to 'exit game', 'exit' button in shop screen will be changed to 'back' to return to main shop screen
5. more to the stereo: will create a winamp type panel that looks like a mini stereo system and is more noticeable
6. gas vs. hybrid engine "worth": we will have a default fuel cost, fuel cost per round is reported with a pop-up "Gas Guzzlers Service Station" receipt after each round which subtracts from your money, fuel cost decreases with better engines (so hybrid engine = very low fuel cost=encourages buying a hybrid engine)
7. fun things: if we have time! we couldn't think of anything quick and simple enough for our time frame
Other decisions:
split up images tasks
gave Kien some direction for background image changes
found bugs:
1. missing base car image initially and after purchasing some paint jobs
2. in IE, when you hold down the spinnaz button, it disappears

Task List:
Kien - background screen image changes, digital clock countdown image, money image,
K - green check and red X images, stereo image
Amanda - gas receipt image, default gas engine image, talk to Keith and Matt Roberds
Austin - add images, money balancing, etc changes to game, code cleanup
