Fall Research 2016: Week 13

For me, this week was a review of the progress that has been made so far. I went back and re-evaluated the audio sources that were chosen to see if something more suitable could be implemented. I also reviewed the color and shape choices that were made for the UI controls in the game. Overall, the choices made so far are still considered suitable by both me and my partner. Next, I looked back through the code I had included to see if anything should be removed or altered to improve the look and function of the code. After discussion with my partner, I adjusted the look of the progress bar and refined the main game background so that it looks and moves smoother. I accomplished this by removing some of the background elements, adjusting their position relative to the foreground, and changing the speed at which everything moves. Finally, my partner began researching a text to speech option for the game, so I decided to help and begin researching methods to incorporate it myself also.
