For Week 17, I added more functionalities to the controller. The player is now able to answer questions using the phone now. The controller is also able to end the game and restart it. I also polished up some of the UI and buttons for both the game and the controller.

Individual Update - Week 16
For week 16, I looked into the coding for peer to peer connection and successfully allowed a connection from the phone to the flash game. I added some codes that allowed the player to use the phone to start the game and roll the dice. The answering of the question is a little more complex and i decided to solve it by next week.
Individual Update - Week 15
For week 15, I added some dice animations and pictures to the questions. The dice will appear to be rolling and when after around 1.5 seconds, it will display what number the player has rolled. For the pictures, I created a single movie clip and stored all the images for the questions in it. When a question appears, the relevant image will appear from the movie clip.
Individual Update - Week 14
In Week 14, I added some more codes so that the game is able to detect if the player has selected the right answer. The game also adds score for the player if he or she answers correctly.
Individual Update - Week 13
For Week 13, I added some questions into the game. The questions appear when the player steps on the question tiles. I have yet to add the calculations and i plan to add it in for the next week.

Individual Update - Week 12
I continued to work on the program for our game during Week 12. I converted the codes from procedural programming to object oriented programming (OOP). Using the procedural programming method to code means I only have one actionscript file to put all my codes in it. This will cause my codes to be messy and confusing in the future as I continue to add codes. By using OOP, I split relevant codes into other classes which will be more efficient for larger projects like our's. I also successfully make the "camera" or stage track and move according to where the player is.
Individual Update - Week 11
In week 11, I programmed some basic functions of the game, such as rolling a die, moving the player piece based on number rolled, detecting the type of tile player is standing on. I also programmed the start game and end game functions to reset the game after the player reached the final tile.
Individual Update - Week 10
Week 10 happened to be an exam week and I could not find time to work on the project. However, I visited the library and borrowed some books which I am sure will help me when I am programming the game.
Individual Update - Week 07
For week 7, I spent some time trying to familiarise myself with flash again, after not touching it for about two years.
Individual Update - Week 04
On week 4, I did some research and brainstorming with my team members to come up with a presentation for our pitch next week.
Individual Update - Week03
For week 3, I worked and came up with the design for our team logo. Our team also discussed about the boardgame idea we chose for our CPD.

Individual Update - Week 02
For week 2, we pooled our ideas and put them together into a PowerPoint slide for the presentation of our ideas. I filled in the description and features of my ideas I had thought of from last week. We have yet to come up with a team name, so I went to do some research. I suggested our name to be Hestia Production. Hestia is the Goddess of the hearth, home, architecture, domesticity, family, and the state. I suggested as I thought Hestia sounded nice and the name may give others an image that we are friendly and easy to work with.
