Our first week of term 2 of idat106 has involved us being divided into groups of 2 first years through an interesting, sophisticated grouping system, and been told we shall be paired with 2 seconds years in the near future. After this we are allowed to transfer or eject group members, before the groups are frozen at week 30. In the first session, we basically got set some rules for our so far mysterious project and arranged our groups.
Our second session we have been told for our assignment we have to create an interactive experience, through a medium of our choice but we have to base it upon a board game. However this interactive experience must NOT be a game, which is difficult to wrap our heads around. Anyway we need to think of potential initial ideas for board games and how we could convert them to an interactive form. To help choose a board game we looked on Amazon, Ebay and Wikipedia to think about what games we could potentially use. We also remembered back to our fondest childhood board games we played, discussed what we used to enjoy and played any versions of them we could, be it online, or our own paper-made versions. After the second session we seem pretty set on doing something involving table football, or foosball. Although this is only a basic framework and nothing is set by any means.
