CMPT371 – Team 1

Project – Luminance

Puzzle game Guide a beam of light using a limited set of

tools to certain goals avoiding obstacles along the way.

Previous milestone Adding polish and robustness. Finished off important features for playing.

Current milestone Further refinement and debugging. User evaluations and play testing.

New Development

Level Menu For navigating between levels

Level Editor To create levels for the game

In-game Help Documentation Instructions for playing the game

Light beam Bigger, better, flowier

Fixed a lot of little things for polish Lots o levels!

Issues With Development Infuriating emulator

Slow, renders in software mode, bugs... Incompatible OS

Android study we were borrowing phones from used a custom OS sans hardware acceleration!

Build setup Initial overhead MUCH more than expected Most of milestone 1 spent on this

Issues With Development Modularity without full discourse

We planned and designed well However, we still ran into problems

Testing High overhead but low impact Build script issues Did help strengthen our code base

New features Didn’t have time to implement them .. But we’re happy with our accomplishments!

Software Engineering Processes Use of issue tracker to drive development

Used for issues, enhancements, features Helped with communication

Team modularity Explicit task separation within each of the

subgroups Lead to very modular code base as well

Meetings within the group Regular group meetings Use of Skype

Software Engineering Processes Use of logger

Gave us high-level call stack Chain of Command

Leads oversaw progress in their respective areas

Project manager overseeing everybody Peer reviews, personal desk-checks,

formal inspections Further refinement of the code base Flushing out bugs and defects

Software Engineering Processes Development environment

Eclipse, google code Integration with TeamCity

Emulator did help with development We don’t all own Android phones!

Smoke test build on TeamCity Created with the purpose of running

before commits

Formal Inspections

Did 6 this milestone Found a total of 82 defects this

milestone 101 altogether

Along with Professor Osgood’s advice from the lab, creating much nicer code.

Testing

GUI Testing Complete

Mock Testing On the interfaces we have

Test Suite Up to date

User Evaluations

Surveyed 22 people 2 Groups:

Experienced players (10) Inexperienced players (12)

Players split into control and experimental groups: Control: told how to play and given help Experimental: minimal instruction

User Evalutation Results

User Evalutation Results

User Evaluation Results

Risk Analysis: New Risks Description

Limited test phones available due to OpenGL issues Probability: High Severity: High Plan:

Attempt to locate devices that have the required libraries to make the game runnable

If all else fails, simply install a different custom OS on the devices that allow for acceptable graphics functionality

Status: Realized, dealing with it

Risk Analysis: Final Update Risks realized: 5/12

Ensuring effective communication Losing group members Ensuring successful port Android phone performance Due date miscommunication

Risks resolved by contingency plan: 5/12 Use of mailing lists and wiki Enhanced communication helped us stay together Eliminating extra features to ensure quality of core

features Found OS that is compatible with the application PM smartened up and double checked due dates

Risk Analysis: Final Update Risks prevented by mitigation plan: 7/12

Continuous Integration ▪ Use of TeamCity and Smoke test

Set up of development environment▪ Not an issue with the information readily on the wiki

early and comprehensively Touch input integration▪ Researched it thoroughly and found ReplicaIsland

Implementation of all resources in a convenient way▪ Zenja keeping it up to date

Risk Analysis: Final Update Con’t

Vague requirements causing defects▪ Formalize new ideas before implementation

Limited user evaluations resulting in game play issues▪ Completed user evaluations

Keep memory used low and performance high▪ Keeping textures small
