Today was the first FC session after the holidays - the Three Musketeers all turned up. They played Mini Golf in the web app prototype - it held up beautifully - one hour - no crashes, or serious complaints. It felt very optimistic that this would work!
Some spots that glow:
- This was the most unprompted use of the calculator that we have seen upto now - and we have the logs to prove it :-)! One kid insisted on using his handheld - said it was much faster!
- I am going to go ahead and claim some transfer of habits of mind. Today all of them asked for a graph before they asked for a table. In the past they have always had to be prompted to look at graphs.
- They all played for the entire hour in the prototype in the limited screen real estate they had with non resizeable components, with pretty limited functionality, but no real obstacles. So successful first outing in the field.
- I think there is some benefit to this being so similar to Shuffleboard – so to satisfy YK – we have a way in which playing one will make it easier to play the other. This should make it easier for us to create a trajectory of games?
