Away | Jernej |
Agendas Raised | Ø Buttons need to be fixed. People feel like the buttons could be better. Ø Access to the labs Ø Make minor changes to the program |
Tasks Assigned | Tim Ø Document and continue to test the program Jernej Ø Create new buttons Ø Diary Ø Create some example knots Phil Ø Continue to work on the GUI Allen Ø Diary Ø Help out where needed Jun Ø Updating the kernel part of the program Ø Fix any slight changes that may need to be made |
Summary | Overall today was about showing Luke what had changed within the program since he had last seen it. Phil had implemented the some buttons of the GUI to the program but Luke and the rest of the group through like the buttons could be better and more suited to the example given above. Whilst Luke was fiddling with the program he also raised some functionality issues that could be changed around such as when trying to move a point it remembers where the initial positions of the point and once you wish to move to the left or right you need to go past this position to be able to change directions. Luke thought that it would be more user friendly is the user moved the mouse left the point moves left and same when the user moves the mouse right instead of having to move the point so far before the direction changes. Other discussion raised was with the snapshot functionality of the program. Luke suggested that it could be usefully to have this function run automatically in the background taking a snapshoot of what the user has done every X amount of time. Others agreed with this decisions however it the problem was then raised what if the user starts to create a knot then get side tracked. The program would continually be taking and saving snapshots of the knot slowly eating up the user’s hard drive space. The last point made was that if anyone doesn’t have a lot to do they could spend some time and create examples or demo pictures of proper knots. These examples could be used for the website and possibly on the poster that is due latter in this semester. |
