Henry’s Status Report for 03/19

This past week I was working on creating the graphics and game design for our MVP as well as beginning to work on my deliverables for next week.  What I need to do for the MVP is to have the graphics, game interactions, rules, and multiplayer/bluetooth capabilities implemented.  This past week, I was able to get the graphics, game interactions, and rules implemented on Unity, so right now the game looks like a 3D version of pong where two players can control the paddles using the left/right and a/d keys.   The game can also be imported onto an Android and iOS device to be played on a Google Cardboard.  I also began work on creating the multiplayer aspect of the game so that two different devices can play a game against each other rather than having two players play on one device.  I found the necessary libraries and tutorials to integrate that functionality so all I have to do now is implement it and test it.  For next week, the goal is to finish implementing the multiplayer functionality as well as adding Bluetooth capabilities to get data from our cameras and paddles.  By the end of next week, the game should be completely implemented and all that would need to be done to finish the MVP would be plugging in the data from Will and Logan, which should be really easy.  Everything so far seems to be going according to schedule.  I envision there being some debugging and testing time with the bluetooth functionality, but my goals are definitely realistic for next week.
