As the semester comes to a close...

Things are going to start really getting serious...Deadlines are arriving and there is much to be done. For our team, the first important deadline is this week (April 15). We have to have an abstract written and submitted for the School of Science and Math Poster Session (April 21, 2011 on the second floor of the New Science Building--all are welcome!). Being that we're not really doing "research", it changes how the abstract should be written. I've done a number of presentations and written a few abstracts, but they were all research related. It should be interesting to see how it turns out. Also, we need to get on actually creating the poster. One problem that we've encountered is that half the group won't be available to actually present on the day of the Poster Session because of class conflicts. That leaves two of us, which isn't bad, but being that we've been kind of working on our own assignments and coming together periodically, it's a little difficult for us to be able to explain what the other is doing. I'm sure we'll come to a final decision by the time of the deadline.

After that, we need to start organizing our final presentation. Once again, being that we all worked on separate things, this will have to be a group effort. We're leaning towards doing a prezi (powerpoint doesn't seem appropriate for a presentation about a video game). We're also going to work on making sure the code is uniform and gets to a stopping point to where we have something to demo for the audience (that is concurrent with what we've actually done).

Individually, we have to get a pdf of our blogs to submit but I'm not exactly sure how that would happen. I've been doing some research into it and Jaime said she may have found something but if anyone knows anything or has figured anything out, some input/help would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm sad to see the semester come to an end so quickly...I was just starting to get into a lot of things and now I'm about to be gone. There's still a lot to get done, though, so it's not the time to mourn or think about that...gotta do work!

Until next time...
