Presentation Transcript

  1. Development Process • Agile/XP

  2. Life cycle • Agile • Variation of XP • Working code > extensive documentation • Iterative Approach • Milestones

  3. Milestones • Milestone 1 • Components working together • Milestone 2 • Simple map and basic movement • Milestone 3 • Playable game (with bugs) • Milestone 4 • Final product

  4. XP Practises followed • Test driven development • Continuous integration • Program for today • Small releases • Simple design • Pair programming

  5. Planning + Issue Tracking • Google Codes issue tracking provided efficient + effective project management • Bug and defect reports • Project planning • Task assignment • Clear communication

  6. Authentication OpenID provides a safe + easy way to sign in • Users can select which information to provide • Familiar sign in page • Services are customisable • Google • Yahoo

  7. Client Technologies Widely used and well documented technologies + APIs for easy maintenance • HTML5 • CSS3 • JavaScript • Jquery 1.6 • JSON • Google Maps 3.6 • Google Directions

  8. Compatibility Consistent user experience across wide range of different browsers + platforms Chrome 14 Firefox 7 Internet Explorer 9 Safari 5 Opera 11

  9. User Interface • Controls are simple + easy to learn • Important elements are large • Mice + touch devices • Simple interface for less scrolling + zooming • Effective use of space • Map fills most of screen • Less important elements are hidden

  10. Station Markers • Promotes planning+ strategy • Clear symbols indicating transport options • Clear station numbers promote teamwork 42

  11. User Experience • Google Chat for fast communication and enhanced teamwork • Before and during gameplay • Text + voice • Integrated + intuitive help system • Available at any stage of gameplay • Downloadable user guide

  12. Server • Java • JSP • Servlets

  13. Game Logic • Well defined structure • Modular design • Documented • Tested

  14. Reliability • Thoroughly tested client + server • Qunit client testing allows testing in the actual deployment environment. • Junit for game logic - Good test coverage • Beta testing, allowed us to reduce bugs and optimize the UI. • Risk of failure is minimised • Client only provides a stateless interface to server • Game logic only on server

  15. Scalability • Java Servlets provide a scalable platform • Game supports multiple players + games • Java base runs on wide range of operating systems + hardware
