Goals

  • Fix the "tabs" so that there are 2 interfaces.
    • Create - Add questions & answers as well as categorize the cards (geometry, algebra, etc)
    • View - Show the question and input an answer. 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 get 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.

Week by week milestones

  • Will decide via email over the next week.
