Two Trimester Focus Planing

Test Data Tri 2

• Aesthetics: 9/10
• Fun: 5/10
• Educational: 10/10
• Come back again for long term sign up account: 7/10
• Sign up data from users and game stats
  1. Login (Person database)
  2. Leaderboard(Gamesession database for times)

     Feedback

• Make games more fun/appealing (Ex: animations, more levels to appeal to people’s competitiveness).
• Format educaional vulnerability database to be more readable. Right now it’s very text oriented and the text is sqiushed/formatted weird, and maybe there should more visuals.
• User scores visible on profile page for when they login and leaderboard, show every game session of the user to show progress and motivate them
• POST request, leaderboard connect with users to make post request work. make name show up instead of id

Additions

• Better games, spot the difference and password games are both limiting in the sense that they lose user interest fast
• Finish leaderboard and make it work
• Endless runner game: character is a cybersecurity analyst who hops over obstacles including bugs, viruses, etc. after certain distances are run, quiz questions pop up. Failure to answer means game over, correct answers allow you to continue, etc.
