May 21-23 (Sanding blocks, Hans, Robert)

# data[].attributes.body
This week we received 2 more blocks, the large rectangles and L-blocks. We spent all of this weeks lessons precisely cutting them out and getting rid of any particles, seeing as this batch was slightly failed and the blocks molt into other objects. We sanded all the excess off, and later sanded all the edges. It might sound as little work, but to do this concisely we really had to focus and take our time. We haven't experienced any problems including sanding, apart from the fact that it's really time consuming. However seeing as we spent so much time on this, and the teacher wasn't in class, we couldn't manage to paint the blocks. Also we didn't yet receive the third set of blocks we've been wanting to print out. This all leads to us needing an extension next week, which will be our priority during next design class.

We have been able to create most of the manual excluding some extra rules and a point measuring table.  Those will be potentially added later on seeing as the cards are a job of a far greater importance. We have been slightly not sticking to the plan we've initially made, however the elements missing aren't that large, and will probably be done later on in class, or at home, seeing as first we most focus on the cards , as they are of far greater importance. We've been noticing certain loopholes in our plan concluding in us having to work harder for the next few periods. We've noticed that some of plan was constructed pretty poorly, seeing as we've decided to prioritize less important tasks first in the scoreboard (for example scoreboard). The manual itself we find pretty good. It's detailed yet goes strait to the point , without skipping any important rules that might seems unclear. We are going to solve this problem by replacing "making the manual" to the the quite end of our timeline Our progress with the manual can be seen underneath. In the text there might still be a few mistakes that will have to be look over and changed. Also we might want to use a more simple langue while writing the manual, seeing as it's kids that are going to be playing these games. However, on the other hand, no matter how sophisticated the manual will be, it might turn out that an elder individual is going to  have to explain the game to the kids, which then makes the simpler language unimportant. We will ask participants of the assembly for feedback whether we should simplify the manual, and then do it dependent on the results of our questions.

We finished designing the cards using adobe illustrator and we've already printer them out. They look decent, not too sophisticated, maybe even too simple. It's a 7x3.5 cm card with a question mark on the card back, and comes in different colorways (example underneath). To put the cards together, we must cut the card back and front out, glue them together and write a certain object on the card front- that's what will have to be built. We haven't managed to cut and stick them together yet seeing as it's really time consuming to do it precisely, and we have around 80 cards total to cut out.. We're going to cut some of them out during the weekend and the rest during the first period next week, when we're also going to fill them in and make sure they're laminated before the start of the second period, so they can be cut out again from the lamination coat. We've been sticking to the plan this week, and we're keeping everything up to date.

The first lesson we spent cutting out cards, filling them in and laminating them as planned last week. The second period we spent precisely cutting them out, and starting to finish the manual, which we managed to finish during the third period. Because of a lack of time we didn't manage to make a box, seeing as the deadline is next week Tuesday and we don't have any lessons in between to do it. However, we have completed all the essentials for this game to work. We ran into an issue with the cards, namely the lamination coat fell apart while cutting the cards. We solved this problem by gluing the two parts of the card together making them even stronger. The cards have a very smooth feel to them and cannot harm anyone (shown below).

Seeing as we have gotten 4 extra lessons to complete the prototype game, we've decided to finish everything that we weren't able to finish on time. Block that haven't been sanded nor colored yet were completed (results below). Larger rectangle was painted yellow, L-block was painted dark green, and t-block was left as is seeing as the 3D printer had given it a nice look. All the edges were sanded to not harm anyone while playing. We received the last needed blocks, which we've cur out and sanded to achieve a smooth feel. We did not color the T-looking blocks, seeing as the printer had already given it a nice and vibrant color. The missing box was made out of an old shoe box, that was painted white, and the logo was put on by sticking it to the drying paint. The manual was jointed together using a screw, as we didn't have anything else to put it together with. Seeing as we were going to present our game at the design assembly, we've also put together a plan, including a testing method of playing the game, and questions (document about planning for assembly and group 5:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RjQhlUWqquNLHOYm8F01XB8DuNocSVWrD6JoetFrbc0/edit?usp=sharing) Also we are scheduled to have a meeting with group 5 and simplified questions for them can also be found in the google document above. We must make the question way simpler since we are dealing with our actual target audience. The question must be simpler, and answer all the needs mentioned in criterion C. We can make adjustments based on feedback gained from assembly, just 30 minutes before the kids come (we don't yet know if the manual isn't understandable or anything else is unclear since we haven't received feedback from assembly yet).

We've only yet received one pack of our block- 12 of the smallest kind. And we have sanded their edges and spray painted them matte black. The sanding was done thoroughly using 3 different kids of sand paper- rough, delicate, and detailed, to come to the smoothest and most satisfactory result. Since we have't received our other blocks, we couldn't have spent all the 3 periods sanding them, those we spent helping Kaj and Fabio cut the cards out, as there were a lot of them. We've been falling off the schedule seeing as we didn't receive our other blocks. We are hoping to get the 3D printer fixed by next week so we can go on with our plan.

Based on the feedback, we improved the feel of our blocks and the manual. The block were sanded even more to the point were edges were more curved and nice in feel. The manual was hardly understood by even elder individuals met at the assembly, meaning we had simplify it before the meeting with the group fives, since we want them to understand it and give us some feedback about it. All this was done during the weekend before the group 5 meeting.

This was the week where we designed all the blocks on tinker cad, for them to be 3D printed. Designing the blocks wasn't really difficult, as me and Hans split up the work evenly. (I designed two, he designed two). The only problem was how fast the 3D printer could create the blocks, because other groups also 3D printed stuff. We found working tinker cad surprisingly easy and enjoyable, all the blocks were made accordingly to the measurements given in strand B4.
It's amazing how many things can be crafted out of the 3D printer. We laid designing the blocks all over the 3 lessons we've had, meaning we've been sticking to the plan accordingly. During the next week we will be sanding and coloring the blocks .

So today I worked on the timeline for everybody’s work and distributed it in a very lenient way, I don’t think we need three days to make blocks brut since we are new I did give us some buffer time in case we do need that extra time to make the blocks. I have the task of creating the rules to Kaj even though I think that Fabio is going to work on it as well be it if they both help each other on their work we should be able to finish in time, My main concern is the colors of the blocks. I don’t know if the plastic is colored or if we need to paint the blocks, if we need to paint the blocks I might need to free up sometime or use that extra day to paint them.
