Evaluation of the 6 wedges website
The project 6 wedges I thought went really well because we had people in different expertise so we could assign member's in our group to different task's which helped a lot because people could get on straight away with there task's.
The group work went smoothly and a lot of people had different idea's and we would form into a group each week and see what we had achieved. As the project went along we took certain element's out and added new one's. We could of made our project a lot bigger but kept it small for a reason to see how our project went in University and if it was used a lot in the University we could build upon the project and take it to different limit's.
So overall the project went really well and the team work worked great, i would of liked a bit longer to do the project because we could of added a few more element's and worked a bit more in depth with the system we created.

Website Design
The 6 wedges website we designed was made in HTML 5 and CSS 3 because the advanced styling you can do made our website look good.
We chose 5 links which are home, log in, register, Facebook / Twitter and contact. The reason i picked these links was because i didn't want to over complicate the site and these are the most important for our website.
The layout of the website look's really nice with the green, white and black. I think the design is bright and make's you want to look further.
Here are the picture's of the website:

This is the registration page
This is the twitter Facebook page for advertising really.
This is the log in page
This is the welcome page which makes people feel welcome on our site.
The site we created is easy to use and navigate around and that is what we wanted because it makes the viewer play the game easier
The 6 Wedge's site
This is a simple map of our website showing what is going to be happening.
The map makes it easier for you to see how our website is set up
How we made the project
We made our project working as a team and designating perfect position's within the groups because Tom Saunder's and Paul Watson knew more then the rest of us on PHP and Mysql.
Rachel Dalton could set up a domain which is helpful also her input was needed in group discussion's.
Mike Hills Made the poster's because he is good with photo editing suite's.
And I made the HTML 5 website and also the CSS3 but also I posted most of the blog post's.
I also made the question's to ask the viewer. The project was basically made with Qr Code's + PHP + Mysql + HTML5 + CSS3 + Poster's + Fun.

What are project is going to do
Are project is going to create a simple quiz game where you can play the game around the University.
People will be able to sign up to, the 6 wedges game for free and then play the game.
We want our project to be fun and informative for everyone to play. Also the website will be easy to access and why not sign up it's free.
Eventually I want the project to be a game so all Plymouth can play and enjoy. But we had another idea where the university could use the project as a guided tour for new student's.

The Software we are using
We will be using a QR Code generator to get our Qr Code's. And when we generate the code's we will be linking them to the website page.
We are using HTML 5 and CSS3 to create the website along with PHP and Mysql
We will also be using mobile phone's to take picture's of the Qr Codes and this will link us to the website so phone's count as software.
So this is basically all the software we are using and is important to make our project run.

Social Behaviour's at the University
In the Student Union:
People some time's meet with there friend's first and go to the bar and get a drink. Some people get a drink then sit down and do work but 7 / 10 time's people meet with friend's and watch live sport's, some people just chat.
In Babbage Building:
Mostly people do work in the room but some people watch TV on the computer's or other video's on the internet. Some people were doing group work discussing what they need to do.
But there was a lot more busyness in the room.
In the Library:
People pick up book's, sit at a desk reads part of it and then type's something on there laptop or write stuff down.
Some people go to a computer to find a book and then looks for the book in the library and check's the book out and leave's the library.
Some people work in the 24/7 rooms and use the computer's to do there work and its very quite in there.
The reason we looked at all of this is because our game will be around the University and we need to find good location's to put them.

Surveying at Plymouth University
When studying people at Plymouth University I found one of the busiest place's are the Library.
Another busy place is the Student Union but people come and go there.
The Babbage building we are setting up the game in, can get busy on certain day's like Tuesday and Thursday's.
Also a busy place all the time is the Roland Levinsky building people walk through there a lot, and also up stair's is busy constantly.
So above is a short explanation of where is busy in the University so this would be key area's where we could put our Qr poster's to.

Check List
Well the PHP / Mysql Software will be made by Tom Saunders & Paul Watson so they will be bringing that in on the day.
The poster's with the Qr Code's will be made by Mike Hill's
The set up of the domain will be done by Rachel Dalton
The question's and HTML with CSS3 will be made by Dale Critchlow
The Wedges on the website were created by Josh Lane
And then everybody in the group has put thought and idea's into the group.

The day we release the game
So here I am going to talk about when we set up our project the day it gets released.
9:00AM - 10:00AM :
All get to Uni and meet up. Get the check list out to make sure everybody has the equipment. And if we meet up this time we will have time to get the item's in time for the setup.
10:00AM - 11:00AM:
This will be testing time setting the installation's up putting the poster's in two room's BGB211 & BGB 213. And making sure everything moves smoothly.
11:00AM-12:00PM:
This will be time to fix glitches and problem's. If no problem's we will start to set up user name's for our group.
12:00PM - Onwards:
This will be extra time to sort any problem's also this will be where we present our product.

A few more notepad processes and picture's
This is a few more picture's from my workbook the first picture is how the process of the project is going to work.
The next picture is a few bit's of information on some of the famous people that the University has used for some building'. Because in the question's there will be question's named after the building's.
quick mind map of the process for the website
This is another drawn mind map of the website process, it show's the way you will log in and answer the question's.
Advertising The 6 Wedges
We were thinking how could we make our game big? and that's when we thought we need to advertise the project. We could advertise the 6 Wedges on Facebook, Twitter and all of the team's website's.
Also because our game is going to be in the University we could put a poster in the Student Union.
Also we could email all the student's in the University to get them to play.
If the game gets even bigger we could create something like twitter on the 6 Wedges website.

Video Tutorial Maybe?
We were thinking of having a video tutorial on our website. The reason we have decided to put a tutorial video on our website is to show the public how to play our game.
I think video's can be more descriptive than writing because it actually show's an example of what to do.
The video will be about 1 minute long because then the video will not take as long to load, it will be uploaded on youtube and then embedded on our website.

Where the project could go next!
If we made our project bigger our game could be made into a tour guide. This could be to help new Student's find there way around, because when you are a new student the University seems huge.
Also further on we could make our own app so people could use the software we created easier, straight on there mobile phone's.
On a larger scale our Trivial Pursuit Interactive game could be used around the city, and it could become a big Interactive game.
There are loads more idea's we could do but because it is for a uni project we decided to do it within the University kind of like a beta version.

My Role In the Project
My Role in the project consists of making question's for the game, also making a HTML 5 and Css3 website the last thing I was doing is making most of the blog. And I have completed the role's I got given.
The tasks other people got given were:
-Creating a poster with QR Codes on it.
-Creating the PHP + Mysql which was made by Tom Saunder's
In the PHP + Mysql there is :
- Log in
-Register
-Question's table
-Linking QR Codes to the page

Health And Saftey and our project
Our project doe's not fall into any health and safety regulations because its going to be on the wall.
And it is using the Internet and your Mobile Phones. The only small Health and Safety part would be when putting the poster's up try not to put the pin's in your hand's.
The other small health and safety feature would be don't look at your phone playing the game whilst you are crossing the road and also whilst driving.

A few notebook clipping's
This is like a storyboard for the 6 wedge's it explains how our interactive game work's and the process of the game.
Tuesday, 15 March 2011
Another idea we could add to the 6 wedges game
Because our Qr code's will be in room's around the University I thought of putting a pressure pad in the room under the carpet so when you step on the pressure pad in the room it would trigger a camera and a sound recorder, which would track who ever is in the room. The only problem we had with this is the way people may not want to be watched and it would be a big breach in privacy.
So we opted out of this because it could make our game really unpopular.

Where our installation will be going!
The installation we create will be going in the university the building's we could use could be:
-The student union
-Babbage building
-Brunel building
-Davy building
-Fitzroy building
-Isaac foot
-Charles seale hayne Library
-Mary Newman
-Portland square
-Reynolds building
-Roland Levinsky building
-Scott building
-Smeaton building
most of the buildings can be found on http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/pages/view.asp?page=23904
So we have a wide range of building's we can put the poster's in.
Its just choosing a few at the moment while we produce the game and if it go's to a larger scale we can add more building's.
The building we are starting at has been decided and we have picked the Babbage building.

Another Qr Code Installation
I found another Qr installation online which is at this website:
http://www.mobileinc.co.uk/2010/11/the-qr-cloud-project-art-installation-on-derelict-building/
The Qr Installation is on a derelict building in Amsterdam where they have created Qr codes for each panel on the building but in the QR code's there are poem's and proverbs written by dutch writer's.
I really like this installation because it is mixing new technology with old poem's and proverb's.

Looking for Qr Code Installation's
When looking for Qr Code project's I stumbled across this french installation where they have glued Qr code's in France somewhere, and put location tracking within them and note's which is kind of like our project.
Où est Charlie? QR Code Installation. 04/03/2011 from MJTJ on Vimeo.
This shows our project can be achieved because part of it has been done already. I like the way the Qr codes are on tile's which make them look nicer also I like the where's wally symbol on the Qr code's which make's it feel your finding for something.
From this project we are making it into a game where we have to find the Qr code's and answer question's, so it's quite a similar process.

Tom Saunders will be making the Php, My Sql and sorting the scripting out.
Rachel Dalton is sorting the domain out so we can put the website online to use and also she will be doing part of the website.
Mike Hill's will be making the poster's to put on the wall with the qr codes on.

What is a QR Code And What doe's it do?
A Qr code looks like this:
This Qr code is a specific matrix bar-code which is only readable by qr bar-code reader's, and there are many mobile phone application's for this now for example the i phone has one. And we will be using the mobile phone reader for our game.
The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL link's or other data.
The Qr code was created by Toyota for it's car manufacture and now it is one of the most popular type's of two dimensional bar-codes.
Qr is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the code allows its content's to be decoded at high speed.
This is a description of how the Qr code works:

Question idea's
Here are some of my idea's for question's I am taking the buildings at the university and trying to make questions built on the buildings.
Here is my mind map for the buildings at the university and a few bit's of information on the people relating to the buildings.

I will have more mind map's to come with more information so watch out.
Zoom in on the page to view the information.
Mind Map Of Ideas
Here is an earlier mind map that has recently been improved.
But what I learn't from making a mind map is where we could improve the project and what would be a good idea and not so good, that is why each week in our group we would discus what was good and not so good and also we would find item's we don't really need in our group like location tracking.
The mind map here show's most of the thing's we will be producing and where we intend to make the item's.

Process of the website
This is the process of the software and sources we are going to use.
We are using MySql, Css, Php and html5. All of this is needed to create our website because the Php and Mysql is used for the log in and registration. The Css is to make it look good and the HTML is used to put the website online.

Process for our website
I have created a mind map for our game's website because on the website we have a register screen and also a log on screen. And we need some process to use to save the questions so you can answer them later on a computer or your device. Also the log on page has to be customized to you so it shows your wedges and how many more wedges you need.
As you can see on the Mind Map I have 5 state's which is used to save the answers because these will be variable's which will make them easier to code.
