Challenges I ran into
Scoping the target group. Slow Internet; brought our development cycle to a crawl
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
-Created a physical board game to go with the app. We plan to allow a user to take a picture of the board whiles playing. The app will extract the game state from the image, and the user can continue playing seamlessly on the mobile app. -More importantly the physical version allows people who don't have access to smart phones to partake in our awesome game experience.
What I learned
-Team Building -Working under pressure
What's next for Pipe
Making the game more awesome -Integration with Facebook (play with friends) -Allowing expansion of enable seamless play between the physical board game and the mobile app. -Partnership with private and public schools to make it a standard tool for test preparation.
