Modified User Registration for Better User Experience

This week in IPPD we listened to guest speaker Dr Elif Akçali, Associate Professor in Industrial & Systems Engineering, who talked about storytelling. The presentation was extremely engaging, interactive, and did a great job at teaching us to tell stories better. Beyond this, we made great progress in the development of Hacker Jeopardy. First ,we completed the implementation of custom theme changes for the game board. Additionally, we were able to implement some of the feedback received during Prototype Inspection Day to make our user and team registration process more user friendly (pictured above). With this new change, users registering accounts for themselves and for teams can see whether or not their password will be accepted by the game. This is a massive upgrade and will severely reduce the number of times users fail to register accounts and teams. Lastly, we were able to conduct in person user testing using students from our coach’s class. The feedback received during this event will help us make final refinements to the game before focussing our efforts on our FInal Design Review. Stay tuned for more progress!
