Status Report for Orange B Lab - Week of April 12- April 16

This being the last blog of the project some main reflections, concerns and possible future ideas will be presented. The work up until the open house was time consuming, this means that in order to prepare everything to the best of our abilities many people from the lab devoted their time to make sure that the game/poster/presentation were ready and presentable. This means that a lot of long nights and hours were put in to the making of the “Cognitive Construction Game”. While all the work up until the Open House was exhausting for mostly everyone in the lab, the final game design was fun, educational and proved functional for the Mustard Seed.

The Open House was a success; this is because everyone was well prepared and ready to present our ideas on how to improve the Cognitive Skills of the End-Users. We got the chance to explain and show how our game worked to two groups of the Mustard Seed Representative groups along with the Course Coordinators and other professors. Some of the main feedback we received was how enjoyable the game was and that the presentation along with the poster were outstanding.

For future reference, some game changes that would be made to the overall game are things such as more difficult levels and mini-games that will focus on a more cognitive base. Another game change would be to add a mini-game selection menu so the user will be able to directly go to the selected game instead of going through many other games to reach the desired one.

Overall, the project was challenging but rewarding when all of the components came together to create a unified cognitive development game.
