Rachel Brinkman - Week 8

1. What was planned?
- Finish networking, polish game.
- Finish user study and conduct a pilot study.
- Finish research poster and write research paper.
- Give presentation

2. What was done?
- Made poster
- Finished and gave presentation
- Finished user study
- Networking correctly sends level information, devices correctly receive it (reworked array passing)
- Holes display correctly - the positions are correctly randomly generated
- Reworked some of the enumerations to make things easier

3. Problems encountered?
- Art was never finished for the game. :( We had to make some rough substitutes instead.
- Mutable arrays are just pointers, so passing them across devices is a minor disaster, because the memory addresses don't line up. To fix this, we had to encode each object in the array separately, instead of the whole array.

4. What did you learn this week?
- Learned more about the way that mutable arrays actually work.

5. What's planned for next week?
- Finish the game
- Write paper
- Make real poster for STARS
