IF Arcade Day

We will spend the day playing each other's IF games.

Ex 8: Beta-testing Report

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 10:05:00 -0500

Ask two people who are not in this class to play your IF game and a peer's IF game. You can give your testers a handout with general tips on playing IF, but don't make any suggestions regarding the specific games they are playing. Report what you learned, and change the source code appropriately. Present the beta-testing report as a formal e-mail, demonstrating what you have learned about professional communication in that genre.
