Yet another Python Coding and Graphic Design session today, with a twist this time: a bunch a stray XOs stayed for the party.
GeoAdventures documentation
So this is the amazing documentation we developed for GeoAdventures so far. Hope it makes things easier for everyone
GeoAdventures artwork finished!
Where did GeoAdventures come from?
Members Working!
2/7 and 2/14 general meetings
Last meetings have been really productive!: development keeps advancing (Thanks David & the rest of the crew!), we can programatically generate questions (good job, Thibaut), we are getting ready to port our projects to the OLPC (long live to Josh & Sanjay!) aaaaand designers got these additional scenes/ images:
So the only remaining scenes are:
- 8.1) Carmen sad
- 8.2) Carlos sad
- 9.1) Carmen waving UWO
- 9.2) Carlos waving UWO
- 10) UWO getting into the spaceship
- 11) Spaceship taking off
31/1 General Meeting
We kept working on the amazing GeoAdventures: developers kept doing a great job on the architecture while the designers developed the following scenes:
Also, the list of remaining scenes got updated and now it looks like this:
- 5.1) Big city
- 5.2) Small city
- 6) Scientist in lab talking
- 7.1) Carmen smiling
- 7.2) Carlos smiling
- 8.1) Carmen sad
- 8.2) Carlos sad
- 9.1) Carmen waving UWO
- 9.2) Carlos waving UWO
- 10) UWO getting into the spaceship
- 11) Spaceship taking off
17/1 and 24/1 General Meeting + Design
During this meeting the development team kept working on the architecture and displayed a mind-blowing script and database that can already generate questions based on a country!.
The designers kept working on the art, so here are the main images we are using:
And the scenes we already created:
The list of remaining scenes is as follows:
- 4.1) UWO and Carmen shaking hands
- 4.2) UWO and Carlos shaking hands
- 5.1) UWO and Carmen reading newspaper
- 5.2) UWO and Carlos reading newspaper
- 6) Scientist in lab talking
- 7.1) Carmen smiling
- 7.2) Carlos smiling
- 8.1) Carmen sad
- 8.2) Carlos sad
- 9.1) Carmen waving UWO
- 9.2) Carlos waving UWO
- 10) UWO getting into the spaceship
- 11) Spaceship taking of
Also, if you feel like hacking the code, Sanjay is working on porting our current projects to the OLPC
Cheers!.
10/1 General Meeting
Hey!, hope you all had a great break.
But in our first Winter quarter meeting the developers set up GitHub accounts and kept developing the models while the designers chose images for the base characters and sketched some scenes for the introductory images.
So far, our characters look like this:
11/28 Strategy and General Meetings
During our last general meeting:
- We chose a new UW OLPC logo, congrats to all the participants!
- We kept working on Geo Adventures.
- We reviewed our quarters achievements: thanks to all of you, we managed to finish the bulk of the hang man project in less than a quarter. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
And during the last strategy meeting:
- We decided to move the general meeting to Monday at 5pm at the EEB building, 045 room. The strategy meeting will take part 15 minutes before and after it, and everybody is welcomed.
- Keep promoting UW OLPC on several areas: Kane Hall, website, facebook, UW newspapers,…
- Recruit new students on the Python sessions. We also need people interested on HCI/ design, maybe we can collaborate with a student organization that works on graphic design!.
- Form a small group to fix a couple of bugs in chess/ hangman, package, and publish. We need OLPCs to package and launch our working projects (chess and hangman). Ideas:
- Fund raising party/ speech.
- Ask the OLPC organization to lend us a couple of them (Ka Yee)
- Talk to people on the CS department (daniel)
