Samantha update 11/13-11/20

What did you plan to do?

- Finish the Snag'em poster

- Fill in more of the paper

What did you do?

Created the snag'em poster (which is quite attractive, if I do say so myself!)

Compiled a list of conferences we can take snag'em to (good start is CHI student competition, then UIST!)

Did spend some time looking at paper, though not much.

What problems did you encounter?

I was really busy this week, which was a big problem. I did not get a chance to look at the paper as much as I wanted to.

What do you plan to do next week?

Create usability survey to see what people would want out of Snag'em game to help us focus our future development. This considers design choices such as groups, missions, etc.

~7 hours
