T1 Summary and User Testing

Summary

Judging from the user responses found here as well as talking to people during Technigala we can conclude the following, we can conclude the following:

  • People really liked the idea of Quantum Tetris
  • People felt they learned something about Quantum
  • People were confused about some of the game concepts.

Observations

  • People were really drawn to our project, no matter their background. (We hit all our user personas).

  • We believe this is because Tetris was the draw for people who knew nothing about Quantum and Quantum was the draw for people who knew about it. The mixture of the 2 ideas work perfectly.

  • People were really confused about the concepts of Quantum before they played the game. It helped explaining as they played the game. (Success?)

  • However, some people were confused about the concept of entanglement. We need a tutorial to better explain before they start explaining and/or better integrate entanglement into our game.

  • We did not get any email signups from our survey, but we got several people ranging from students to professors who were interested in our project.

Analysis

  • Our summary and observations accurately describe some of the statistical significant results from our project. You can click the link if you want to investigate our results further.
  • Overall consensus from these results: people were really interested, but left confused (curious?) which is understandable since quantum is a very hard concept to learn in one day.

Notes To Future Us

  • Change the implementation of entanglement within the game
  • Make a tutorial or more pop-ups on the screen to help new users understand
  • Add more Quantum functionality!

TeamWork

Reflect on how your team is working together

What has been working well?

  • Oliver did a really great job grinding away on the game. He's a GoDot wiz!

  • Trevor did a good job creating the Quantum endpoints, the backend, the database and connecting everything

  • Henry created a beautiful website. It got a lot of compliments during Technigala

  • We did a good job managing the Zenhub, and the Github PR's.

  • The last week was our team's peak performance.

What has not?

  • Everyone had their specialities, so when one person wasn't there work was stalled.
  • Communication was spotty in the beginning of the term (First 3 or 4 weeks)

Steps

  • We need to communicate better on what they are working on, if they are blocked, and letting know the other team members their time commitments.
  • We need to have a knowledge share at the beginning of next term so that we can work on each other's work if someone is not there.
  • We need to have more initiative with picking up issues without being explicitly told to.
