What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
This week I finished implementing the web app front end pages and the entire backend for the web app. I created all the backend API functions that the game/embedded controller would just need to call in order to control the game flow display on the web app. I was able to simulate a game session by making POST requests to my web app backend.
I registered for the Merriam-Webster API and obtained API keys.
I also helped Alexis to prototype UART communication between the RPi and the pico on a breadboard using the pogo pins.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
My progress is mostly on schedule. Currently the web app is still using the free dictionary API, since I still have to figure out how to parse the Merriam-Webster dictionary API output to extract the definition and context for a word. I need to research a bit into the documentation for the Merriam-Webster dictionary API to see how I can do this.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Next week, I hope to have the Merriam-Webster dictionary API fully implemented into the web app, and I hope to be able to host the web app on the RPi 5. Once hosted on the RPi, I hope to start our testing plans for the game logic accuracy and hint retrieval latency. However, a significant portion of my time next week will be spent on the design report, so these deliverables may extend into Spring Break.
