Getting things going...

Welcome to the blog for the MQP group working on developing some tools for the virtual team room in the Wonderland universe under the supervision of Professor Gary Pollice. We haven't gotten to far past the opening steps of our project, design, planning, etc. , so there hasn't been much blog-worthy news.

In the past several weeks we have played around with Wonderland and set up our sourceforge project, as well as wrote out several pages of design notes for our plan as it is now. Also, we read up on the tutorials for making your own cells in Wonderland and all the necessary components.

Our projected schedule for the next week or so is to create a simple app for Wonderland, so that we can become more acclimated to the Wonderland API. The game is going to be a 2D Tic-Tac-Toe game that will be displayed as a wall panel. We figured this would be a good start to our project as a major chunk of our project will be the 2D adaptation of a user story management tool.

Tonight was a night of work for our group, as we spent a while getting net beans set up with our sample project for Wonderland. We have the project space all set up and the generic aspects of the file system done. The next step is to add functionality and develop the data setup of the game.

Tomorrow (well, today- hey let's face it we're CS majors, we're nightowls) we will meet with Professor Pollice at our regularly scheduled 10 a.m. Thursday meeting. I've been expecting him to want to chat about our design notes, it's a decent possibility he will.

Thanks for listening, James
