Ex 2 Beta Transcripts

Each team member should ask someone who is not in the class to play their game. Print out a transcript of the beta-tester's session with the game, and note how you can improve the game so that players find it more responsive.

While some interative fiction game engines contain the ability to generate a transcript, you won't actually need to do anything fancy. After your player has finished, just copy the text from the game session, and paste it into a word processor file.

Print out that transcript and annotate it -- jot down what you learned, and what you plan to change based on what you learned.

If you're having trouble coding a specific sequence, this would be a good time for you to write out what you want to happen, so that the next time we're in class I can try to help you.
