WCTC Game Analysis and NECC Presentation

Today was also a very busy day! I spent more than four hours reviewing 4 different games from the WCTC wiki - "Truth and Consequences: Mario 1.v Edition," "Adventure West Virginia," "Brokeville," and a planet narrative game. I played each game many times over, making sure to take all the different paths I could and see all the possible outcomes and screens. After reviewing each game, I used the same code that I learned yesterday to code the games in excel, sending all four analysis to Rebecca. I also contacted the boys whose game I played yesterday (but could not beat!) in hopes that they will be able to answer some questions crucial to our research and provide us with screenshots of game screens we were not able to get to. 

I also started working on a new project today! - Idit's powerpoint presentation for the NECC conference in Houston next Wednesday. Jadry, Emily and I sat down to discuss her outline (an impressive 13 pages) for the presentation, and then, taking a cue from the students' whose work we have been reviewing, we set out to make a paper prototype of the presentation. My main job today was to design the slide background, and with input from Jadry and Emily, I was able to create an original design for Idit's presentation. We will continue to work on this presentation all day tomorrow, and I will be the one to compile all of the images and text that Jadry and Emily are working on into my computer.
