For this project, my group and I decided to make a “create your own story” app with different choices for each event which can lead to many different outcomes. The contributions I have made so far have been taking notes on what we accomplish when our group meets, helping find media online for our slides, and coming up with ideas for mini games within our storyline which will make playing the app more interactive and fun. One thing I have noticed about this project is it is a little difficult for everyone to be busy when our group meets since we can only pull up app inventor on one of our laptops and essentially, our storyline has already been written. Another problem we ran into was that app inventor only allows 10 screens to be made and our story requires 25 screen so we are currently looking for a way to create multiple screens within a screen to get around that roadblock. Aside from those issues, my group has been great to work with. Everyone really tries to contribute within the group and no one has missed a group meeting so far. We have met twice outside of class for this project, once on Tuesday 6/4 in Strozier and once on Monday 6/3 in the innovation hub. So far, we have only included pictures in our app to guide the user with our choices, but when we are able to add more screens I came up with an idea of an interactive mini game where a ball is dragged through a maze and if the ball touches the walls of the maze, you have to restart. (this game would be imitating re-circuiting a robot).
