During this contact session, our group was able to master a few new concepts and i feel proud that our team is getting somewhere! China managed to get a progress bar running with our desired time with some advice from Lorna. We worked out how the timing worked (basically 100 in the code meant 1 second) and timed it with real time stop watches to test for any inconsistencies. This activity, though as boring as it sounds, was actually quite fun. I dont know why.
What our team had also got running by this contact session was attaining actual Trove articles and randomly filtering it into the game. This was done by Soobin, and meant that our photos of the articles from a few weeks back are no longer an issue. Also unintentionally done was showing the animal's name answers from the articles in the coding of the application when 'inspect element' -> 'console' was clicked. I dont think users will use this to cheat hopefully. I only realise this now as i write this at night.
I didnt realise how poor this image's quality was until i opened it on
my laptop so i was forced to add in ugly text to show what im talking about. At
the bottom left, under the inspect element tool, the article's animal is shown,
and in this case its 'kangaroo'. At the top of the application, we have a
functioning command that pulls a selected range of articles from Trove.
Given the angle of this photo, it also confirms my failed photography skills today. But as you can see, there is a time bar and beneath it, a little prompt to users that display in numeric form how much time they have left for that question (in seconds).
I cant say we did much more in this session but i did leave the room feeling prouder than some other classes that weve had. :')
