Progressive Powerpoint Presentation

Progressive Powerpoint Presentation

• Mike Reed and Adam Lanka

Progress made

• - Classes for the slam bar, jam bar, dunk arrows
  sprites for the bars and arrows as well an array
  for sequencing of clicks to operate user
  functions.
• - Documentation is complete for most of the
  current classes, only needs to be made for the
  sprites
• Theme development is coming with addition of the
  actual sprites for the animation canvas,
  backgrounds will be from same source for
  development of theme.
• GUI/model presentation is basically complete,
  with all classes written and functioning.

Difficulties/Lessons

• We encountered some problems with making the
  power bar and slam bar balls stay within the
  sprite when bouncing. We also needed the bars to
  have only x and y velocities in the respective
  bars.
• Our problems have mainly been anticipated, just
  classes or sprites wed need to construct.
• We solved these problems by modifying the
  trackers and collisions of the balls when they
  are within the sprites walls.
• At this point in time in the project timeline, we
  have no current or anticipated problems.

Progress Evaluation

• We are currently on track according to our
  timeline, even a little ahead of schedule.
• Currently we are still designing sprites and
  classes, and implementing the game.
• The scope of our project has lessened a little
  bit, as we found simpler ways to structure
  certain parts of our project.
• Currently we do expect to be complete by our
  noted due date.

7
Most basic game functions entirely correct

• Our power bar, slam bar, and dunk arrows are all
  developed and functional, and can be clicked in
  sequence.
• This criteria should be evaluated by
• Is the basic interface complete?
• Is the interface easy to use and functional?
• Do the basic functions of the game work
  correctly?
• Does the interface form fit with the desired
  applications?

8
Some simple enhancements made

• Currently the simple enhancement made are the
  ball for the power and slam bars is a bullseye,
  and will soon be a basketball. More enhancements
  are to come in the future, as we havent reached
  that part of our timeline yet.
• Criteria for evaluation
• Are there at least 3 basic enhancements?
• Does the effect if the simple enhancements make
  the game more stimulating?
• Where possible, does the GUI have visual
  enhancements?

9
Several simple enhancements or 1-2 complex
enhancements made

• Balls sprite has been changed, and a complex
  enhancement is the sequencing of power bar, dunk
  arrows, and slam bar to allow control over every
  aspect of the slam dunk.
• Criteria for evaluation
• Are there at least 5 basic enhancements?
• Do the basic enhancements overall make the game
  more stimulating?
• Are the complex enhancements effective and
  functional?
• Do the complex enhancements make the game more
  enjoyable?

• Thank you, expect our product to be out in the
  near future!
