Week 7 @ IHPC

Monday 1 Dec 2008

Nothing much happened for today as we were all busy with our work. We need to completed our application quickly so that it could be used for demo in SIGGRAPH Asia 2008. I met some difficulty while doing the function on implementing the multiplayer mood and paddle collision. I notice the coordinates in Quartz composer is different from Open CV. The X - axis is from -1 to 1 while Y-axis is from 0.8 to -0.8. Therefore I had a hard time to check on the position on the paddle movement. Also trying to detect multi laser for multiplayer mode.

Finally got done and over with the multiplayer mode and paddle collision. Really have to thanks Ming Hong for his help. I got some trouble while developing the application, it was him who help me debug and spot my foolish errors that causes the application not working properly. Also wilson and I integrated our individual part together. Integration was really simple and there was no problem when we integrated it. We got the application to work properly. 

After lunch, Kevin gave us a talk on Presentation and show us some videos of Steve Jobs' presentation. I learnt a lot of tips about presentation during that session. And found out that all these years I had use the wrong way to do presentation. After that session, we show Kevin the Pong game application. He gave us some feedback to improve on the game.

Wilson and I continue work on the application to make changes according to Kevin's feedback. We added the score board at the four corners using different colors to identify the different players. And change the start game to be when laser detected on the ball and the game start.
