The formation of group B was an unusual one – Five different people ranging in five different levels of proficiency with technology forced to come together to make an app. However, once greetings were exchanged and everyone their role, it was clear we had the chemistry of a team like the Power Rangers or the 12′-13′ Miami Heat.
Day one of coming together we determined we wanted to create a sort of interactive adventure game as our app. We discussed the different scenarios the player would be forced into based on the decisions they made. By day two, we’ve each gone home and brought back different forms of media we’ll be using for the app, such as pictures and sounds. We also began putting together some of the blocks of for the home screen. Day three, we made major progress by testing and finishing over half of the code required for the app as well as most of the voice narrations that will be played over each screen. We were also able to input the correct media for each corresponding screen.
Now I say ‘we’ a lot but in reality, I don’t contribute much to the coding aspect of this app. However, I found my niche in providing voice-overs for some of the narrators as well as having searched and converted all of the audio files that we’ll be using for the app. Knowing that most of my team members didn’t even have class today, I decided to help generate a positive attitude about the situation by bringing in a dozen donuts from Dunkin’. Through my compensation efforts, I believe my team has truly begun to appreciate my efforts, even if I’m a Struggle Bus.
