The Project In Question
Fractionauts, which is an astronaut themed "quiz game" targeted around 4th grade students interested in learning how to perform basic arithmetic with fractions. Hosted by Chris Knepper on Github, it designed for use on the XO, a Python-centered mini-computer.
Our intended contribution has not been set yet, but several options have been brought up:
- Packaging-Suggested by Remy himself, packaging and submitting (or patching) the game to XO is a good idea
- Level Transition Animations
- Dynamically Generated Questions
- Interactive Tutorial Level
- Slowness on XOPC
- Remedy inability to exit “How to play” screen
- Give Feedback and Hints to Players
The main contributors to this project so far use the handles Nolski, ChrisKnepper, ExplosiveHippo, Valeatory, Waterseas, and Emmix. Each one has their own copy of the main Github repository, each copy hosted using their main handle name (save for Emmix, which uses the Github name of jrs1498). It is currently assumed that our communications with them will be mainly through e-mail, IRC, and Github.
This post will be edited at a later time with a link to a full community architecture assessment.
Outlook So Far
The Bad: Initial organization of team members seems to be problematic, as communication lines between members are still being set up. In addition, I am unfamiliar with the Python language, so early programming needs may be difficult to fill. The specifics of our contribution also still need to be determined.
The Good: I can tell based on overall attitude and morale that the group is contains several hardworking individuals that are eager to do whatever task they are set to. There also seems to be a good amount of general knowledge within the group regarding the chosen project, despite how "young" the project is.
