We got around to assigning team roles as well as milestone 1 tickets to people. As for me, I will be assuming the Tech lead role in the group. My responsibilities include working on both ends of the project, the game development as well as the open badges integration. I will be focusing on creating a bridge between the two. For tickets, I was assigned with working on UI cleanup and creating a new screen for the profit guessing mini game that the kids must complete. We threw together some ideas ...

We did a lot more research into Open Badges, School Servers, and the XO journal. We cracked a lot more unanswer questions about the journal and how Lemonade Stand can write and talk to the journal. On the side, I worked on implementing Lemonade Stand into the new version of the XO. It may have taken me almost all day, but it was a huge success! With Lemonade Stand working on the XO, we are now able to start hacking away at the game and see how it l ...

Today we sat around and discussed what we were going to put into tickets and things that we could combine or separate. We spent most of the day doing this as well as some heavy research into the school servers. I was digging for information about adding code to have Lemonade Stand talk to the Jounral in the XO so the information about Lemonade Stand could be backed on the school server. I found a handy dandy [notebook](http://en.flossmanuals.net/ma ...

The day I had been waiting for, Lemonade Day! The team and myself travelled to Henry Hudson Elementary School in Rochester. There we set up a table for us to display the four XOs that we had, two of which we playing Lemonade Stand and the other two Sky Time. The day was a great success! We were able to go around and see other Lemonade tables around the school and try some of their delicious ...

Today was a long and extensive day of digging through the interent and all sugar directories on our system's to find any information about the XO and how it communicates with the XS, which is the School Server for XO laptops. We were able to find a link that talks about datastore and how to create new data objects. I found one link that talks about how to read and write to and from th ...

Today was an exciting learning day, not saying that every day is not! Today we had a great Git/Vim tutorial presented to us by our own Nate! This was an awesome introduction/clarification session. I knew the very very basics to sucessfully hack remotely for the hackathon that was last weekend, but during this session I learned how to deal with merge errors! yay! With this, I installed meld which is a great interactive tool that helps resolve ...

The first week working with the FOSSbox was already quite the experience. I have learned numerous things for a smart bunch of individuals and it is was only week 1! I have learned how to work with the Linux OS and set that up on my laptop (see you later Windows) and I have already fallen in love with it! I set up my very own GitHub account where I will be posting all my work that I have done this summer as well in the future. After getting some hands on experie ...

Sadly today we packed up the FOSSbox :( We are preparing to move to a different location for the remainder of the summer as the Innovation Center will be renovated for new work space and the FOSSbox 3.0. Most of the day was packing up computer components, posters, and a whole lot of books. My task was organizing books with my buddy Ryan and packing and labeling boxes accordingly. Since it was Thursday, it was also Buffalo Wild Wings Day! For those who don't know what this is, it is a special t ...

After setting up Fedora on my laptop and completely throwing away Windows, I have installed Sugar as well as Lemonade Stand, the game I will be working on for the remainder of my time this summer! This was very exciting to finally get some hands on interaction with the game and see how it plays out. I went through and playtested the game for a hour writing down ideas, thoughts, or any comments about the game that could potentially be improved or implemented. Ideas that came to mind were being a ...

Hello! My name is David Wilson and I am a 3rd year pursuing a BS in Game Design and Development as well as a minor in Computer Science. I am working with a RIT Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) team implementing the Mozilla Open Badges into Lemonade Stand on the XO Laptop of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC). We are doing this in a modular way, so that our work can be integrated into other activities and games on the XO. I would love to get great team building skills and experience on ...
