- We attempted to create full drafts of the SRS, SDS and Iteration 1 document
- So far we have not successfully scraped anything, We have identified what needs to be scraped and how to scrape it and are migrating frameworks to a better option.
- So far there have been no major problems with the UI foundations of the UI components have been set
- We have progressed quite a bit in all of the reports, We have managed to find templates of most sections of the report we needed to write which worked quite well
- The tool that was planned to be used to scrape for game data is only supported on Linux, but not supported by the only version of Linux that anybody on the team runs. This problem was difficult to identify because the only person running Linux (James) had an internet connection so unreliable that it was not possible to test the script on that distro until near midday on Friday and identify the issue. This problem is being addressed for now by writing a simple script that does not utilise existing tools to provide enough data to facilitate a technical demo. A more comprehensive scraping script can be written at a later date.
- So far we have not encountered any major problems with the UI, we have had trouble deciding on a background for our site
- There were a few parts of the documents we had to write where we were unsure what they should be filled with (This part for example)
Due to the time constraint, the team is currently only focusing on iteration 1
