The sixth blog post is all about sprint one! We fixed the last couple of bugs on Monday, the day before the demo. On Tuesday of week 11, each group presented their team app for the first time to the class on Discord. Our client, Dr. Vincent, was also there for our demo. He is the Augie professor we are making this app for and has been advising us as we develop it. We decided to present on Discord instead of Google Meet because Discord plays audio from live presentations, unlike Google Meet. We need the audience to be able to hear the callsigns and static being played from our app as we present it.
We presented first and started by telling the class about the purpose of the app and a little bit about Ham Radio. We then started showing them our app. On the first main screen, there are buttons to go to the about screen that has information about the app, a button to see the leaderboard, and a button to start playing which takes the user to the settings screen. We explained the settings to them and showed them how to play the game. When the game ended, we went to the end screen that shows the user's score and gives the users the option to access the leaderboard or go back to the first main screen.
The leaderboard is not implemented yet but is one of the things we want to add for the second sprint. We also want to implement two playing modes, practice (which is what we have now) and competitive. The user will be able to change the settings as they please if they are in practice mode but not for competitive mode. Competitive mode will have preset settings that the user cannot change and is where the scores for the leaderboard will come from (which will have the top 10 scores). We are also thinking of giving the users partial credit and showing them which characters they got right and wrong after each guess.
After our presentation, we received questions and comments on our app. Dr. Vincent told us that he likes what we made so far and that the additional features we are planning on adding will make the app even better. Our first sprint went well and now we are working on features for the second and final sprint!
