Iniyaa’s Status Report 4/18

This week I worked on the player 2 interface. I started by creating the checkers interface and after I got that working, I started on the chess portion. I now have a home page where you can select chess or checkers and then play the game. Chess if somewhat functional but not fully tested. Checkers should be fully functional on the player 2 side but has not yet been integrated.  To test on my end, I set up a mock raspberry pi using python that sends the json input that the player 2 interface takes. The checkers game works with this mock player 1 interface. Also, I worked on creating the Parcheesi board for the physical flexi board. So far I am slightly behind schedule as it would be nice to have parcheesi also integrated on the player 2 side but it is not yet done. However, I didn’t have too much trouble doing chess and checkers so I am not super worried about integrating parcheesi. Since we have final presentations this upcoming week, I will need to put in more time outside of class time to get the player 2 interface done. Furthermore I need to coordinate with my teammates about the integration of the Player 2 interface with the physical FlexyBoard. We are slightly behind schedule but I think if we put in a lot of work this week we can make it work. My tasks for the upcoming week are to finish the parcheesi game on the Player 2 side and confirm with Chris about connecting the P2 interface with the raspberry Pi.
