Today was my first day of summer research here at Mudd! I arrived at the office at 10am this morning where I met with about half the students participating in this research project as well as one of the advisers, Mike. We then began testing many of the game which were available. Over the course of the year, students in the class CS121 work on producing games in groups. We then play all the games and select which of those to improve and test with students during the summer.
Today, we had about 7 games available to test. The other games were not available on the course website as expected. For those that we had, we each played all of the games and filled out a rubric identifying their strengths and weaknesses. Some of the games were great and had good educational potential while others were buggy or boring.
We also did a couple chores which included creating Windows accounts on the computers in the office and talking to Facilities and Maintenance in order to get proper card-swipe access to the building.
Overall, it was a fairly easy first day but a lot of fun! Tomorrow, we will play more of the games if Mike was able to locate them today.
