The game already removes points if you take over 10 seconds to guess, so we would like to add a count down timer to the side showing how many seconds remain. − *Display the correct answer or allow for another guess (worth less points for each guess) after providing an incorrect answer. − **Note: Currently the game doesn't give you the correct answer. It lets you know what everyone else guessed and you get to vote for which answer you believe to be correct. We would like to change this so that it always lets you know the correct answer. However, we can still keep the entire class results to possibly give to the teacher using another groups project (Teacher Reporting/API). − *Add multiple types of flash cards beside basic addition/subtraction/multiplication/division. − **We will need to work with the API group to store our questions, especially the pictures which will bee needed for geometry questions. − *Allow more than 2 people to connect to a game (we were unable to get a 3rd person to join in the activity). − − ====Class Goals==== Line 84:

==Class Goals==
* Our goal for this RIT class is to complete the [[Flash_Card_Game_-_Assimilate#.22Must_haves.22 | "Must Haves"]] part of [[Flash_Card_Game_-_Assimilate#Our_Plan | our plan]] and document everything we do weather it works or not. Documentation will either be on this wiki or directly in the code that we modify and/or create.

*We made progress on editing the main interface of the game by using a [[Tips_%26_Tricks#Toolbar_listener | toolbar listener]] to change the interface based on which tab is active.

*Brendan wasn't able to meet with us this week to update us on setting up the development environment (Eclipse, Pydev, Git). Yesterday Brendan said that he has been working on this but hasn't used it with Assimilate yet. Dennis will check with him to see how it's going after today.

* At this point, our goals are not being met due to getting behind working on setting up a development environment other than the XO. James is currently working on his previous milestones using the XO to develop on. Dennis is working on getting Synergy to connect an XO to a regular laptop. Brendan is working on assembling a lesson plan to help teachers effectively utilize Assimilate.

* We did not accomplish anywhere near what we had planned for and hopped to complete at this point. We have made small changes to the code which James is in the process of uploading back to git, but the game has not changed much at all.
* Development environment progress update
** Dennis was unable to get synergy to work properly with the OLPC and windows. I have used synergy on non-olpc computers and it works great. Perhaps if you try it with Linux or a Mac you might have success. This would have been the best development environment in my opinion, but I just couldn't get the two machines to connect.
** Dennis installed Sugar as a program in Ubuntu via the Synaptic Package Manager without problems. However, we still ran into the same issues we have had in the past. We couldn't get Assimilate to run whether we installed it from source or from the .xo file. This is confusing to us since we installed and ran Assimilate fine with the same .xo file on the OLPC. The closest we get is clicking on the icon on the circle of programs and seeing the splash screen. Then it dies and goes back to the circle of programs screen.
* Final tasks
** James is uploading the modified code back into git.
** Dennis is updating the wiki, creating a "how to play/use this game" document, and emailing the Math4 group to explain our situation and look for interested developers to continue this project.
** Brendan is writing our "Lesson Plan" document which Erik requested.
