Rushing Sniper Whales

It's a new sprint!

Producing Things

• Model Sniper Unit (4 hours)
• Model Rush Unit (2 hours)
• Schedule meeting with Kai-Lin for Mecanim
• Meeting was scheduled but canceled due to Kai-Lin's schedule
• Update Gantt chart (1 hour)
• Analysis document (1 hour)
• This document aggregates the hours logged on this website, the amount of tasks done, etc. to give a clear metric-driven picture of how much work each team member is doing.
• Give feedback to Alex's documentation (1 hour)
• Alex put together a document detailing distribution. The document he submitted to me was put in more of a note format. I made a copy of the document and set up the formatting with proper headings, protocols, etc. so Alex can format his future documents as so.
• Troubleshoot Sniper Unit with Jonathan and Kai-Lin (0.5 hour)
• While the sniper design was amazingly done by Henderson, there were some issues with anatomy that I needed solved. Rather than having joints down the leg, we modeled the quad and knee as one giant rock mass and the "ankle" as the clay. See below.
• GUI (4 hours)
• As part of Dylan's request, I started looking into designing the GUI. Because the documentation website is out of date for NGUI, I had to look up a lot of tutorials and just jump right in. Also, coming up with a design with no constraints is quite difficult. So I just went at it. See below.

Meetings

Meeting times do not usually count towards the total hours completed for the week but this week, here is the extra meeting I attended:

•  Learn how to use Mecanim
• More GUI development
• Logo design
• Preparing trip details for the team
• Update Gantt chart
