Sprints
Our project was split into 3 2-week long sprints. Here is a description of what we accomplished in each sprint.
Sprint 1: Initial Design Exploration
- Created an initial energy flow diagram (see about page for more details)
- Built Morse Code and Wires modules
-
Made progress on keypad
- Started work on the central controller
-
Initial module dimension sketches
Sprint 2: Continued Iteration + Progress
- Developed memory, keypad, button
- Continued working on the central timer module
- Experimented with and determined inter-module communication
- CAD of suitcase
-
Took into account electrical integration considerations
-
- bent/cut/sanded the sheet metal top
-
Iterated module dimensions
-
First fully integrated module! Morse Code
Sprint 3: Full Integration + Finishing touches
- Fully integrated demonstration
- All modules in their final state
- Suitcase fully glued, stained, and furnished with internal rod supports, hinges, and clasp
- Final sanding to get modules to fit into metal sheet, final sanding to get metal sheet to fit into suitcase
Play Test Demo Video
Pre-Demo Day: Play-testing & usability
- Completed player manuals
- Included game introduction page on the inner suitcase top (linked at top of page too)
-
Play-tested to debug modules
