Resolution
The last time we presented our major problem was the screen resolution of the monitor. It appears that our images do not rescale accordingly especially when we shift our VMWare to full screen. The results were really bizarre - the bottom panel for the polynomial cannot be seen, it may or may not run at all depending whether the NullPointerException for the displayModesMatch() will be thrown or not, the game area itself remains on the left side of the panel resulting in a very wide background image. So, to be able to present well, we just “mirrored” our monitor so that it appears as is when projected. Nevertheless, we still got a “good” from Sir Rom! 
Here are the recommendations:
: An option for the teacher to enter his or her own set of questions.
: Student profile
: Save everything in a file (but we were still thinking whether we will store the questions together with their corresponding answers)
: Start the second game! XD
Since meetings with Dr. Caro have not pushed through lately, we also decided to consult our second storyboards to Sir Rom and Ma’am Weng as well. We are glad that they seem to like our ideas. We will just wait for further comments and recommendations when the time comes that we are presenting it.
first game done?
We are almost done with our first game, and we also started packaging the classes that we are using including those that we are going to test for “reusability”. We just had a problem when running the program on VMware, but it does run properly on other machines. We still can’t figure out what’s wrong. It does not return errors, so we’re really clueless about it not running on VMware.
Android Device
On Wednesday, I will be turning over the Android device to the lab for your testing. I will be removing the SIM (so please put in a Globe/Smart prepaid SIM – couldn’t get Sun SIM to work). Unfortunately, this device has a defective wifi radio – which will render our app testing a bit more expensive considering that we need to connect to the internet via 3G. Yeah, can’t complain since this is free. 
I am still trying to procure another one for the lab – just waiting for Smart to make the HTC Magic available as prepaid.
Meeting
We scheduled a meeting with our adviser last Friday, August 28, 2009. Read the rest of this entry »
developing on imac
alas! the imacs have arrived. now we have a nicer machine to use in developing our project. we were so ecstatic that the moment the imacs arrived, we set them up and installed required updates. But still, we(the MyMathVentures group at least) have to install VMWare, which needs license so I asked Sir Rom where we can get the license for free. Fortunately, there’s this academic license that we can use. I now have the license key, thanks Sir Rom. Will install VMware tomorrow with my groupmates. Since we are developing on ubuntu, i hope we don’t have problem when it’s already installed.
