Retrospective 4

• Retrospective on Sprint #_:

  • members in attendance:

    • Oliver
    • Trevor
    • Rafael (traveling)
    • Henry (remote)

  • what worked well

    • Oliver: Made a lot of progress on working with the GUI. Also finished refactoring and commenting all of the relevant code. Added many functions for superposition, changing speed and updating panels within the GUI. Also began working with the game theme within godot.

    • Trevor: I had a stellar week. After struggling with some hard vector math for ~4 hours, I found out how to put a qubit in custom superposition and implemented an endpoint to do so. Additionally, I changed our backing database to a PostgreSQL database instead of a SQLite. I also implemented an entanglement endpoint on the backend. Lastly, I wrote up documentation for my entire backed

    • Henry: Henry: Henry worked on building out features for the landing page so that it is ready for MVP at Technigala

      • custom embed of a Youtube video on quantum
      • created Developers panel section
      • fixed CSS buttons
      • improved design
      • connected all external links
      • connected the game view with Rafa
      • worked in photoshop and after effects to create design assets

    • Rafael:

  • what didn't

    • Oliver: To implement superposition, we wanted two blocks, superimposed on each other, with different visibility values. Drawing two blocks is easy, but all the controls are built for one block. Instead of changing the controls, I had to have create functions to automatically create and delete new tetris pieces, which is tricky.

    • Trevor: I really struggled with setting up our server on heroku. I sunk ~4-5 hours on it with absolutely no luck.

    • Henry: some git control issues integrating with Rafa’s code that were frustrating, but fixed relatively quickly

    • Rafael:

  • self assessment on progress

    • where are you in relation to progress towards final product?
      • give an estimate of how far towards your goals you are, do you think you're on track?
      • We made a lot of progress this week but will definitely have to work hard to finish the final stretch.
    • goals
      • current week:
        • Oliver: finish superposition and entanglement functionality. List stretch goals to complete over winter break.
        • Trevor: Help Oliver and Henry out with connecting everything. Get Heroku server up and running.
        • Henry: Have all of the landing page ready to go for Technigala.
        • Rafael:
