Now that the Design Review has been approved, we have begun work on the prototype. This prototype will include a mock-up design for the data analysis page of the program. We’ll make sure to keep the original intent of this analysis page in mind. The original intent of course being to monitor individual students to see how well they’re doing; separate from the teams they are a part of.

We’re hoping our designs get a good amount of feedback during prototype inspection day so we can keep adding and building to make this the best program it can be.

As part of entering the implementation/design phase, we’re starting to build upon the functional decomposition to create true documentation for the software going over each function or method in each class of the source code. We can then use this both for presentations and working on the source code.

This doesn’t mean we won’t be adding in-text documentation to the source code though, we’ll all work on those once we get into actually implementing our changes beyond the text chat movement. We’ll also be adding comments to our own code to make it easier for future teams of Raytheon themselves to work on and improve Hacker Jeopardy.
