Journal Entry #3: Teamwork

Here is a screenshot of our team meeting that we had on Sunday night:

The app we will be creating is a Date Escape -- Fake Emergency text app. Before the meeting, I created a Google Doc to put the requirements for our app in. There will be three screens. The first will be a Profile or Setup screen. Here, the user can configure their app by entering Sender and Message to be added to the TinyDB. For example: Sender: "Roommate", Message: "Your grandmother died (AGAIN???)! Call your Mom NOW!!!!" The second screen will be the Trigger screen with a button or hidden spot that can be pressed to activate a countdown timer. Alternatively, the countdown timer will be triggered if you shake your phone. After the preset period of time, the fake emergency message will display like a notification on the screen. The third screen will maintain a history of messages that were displayed and the date and time for each.

We also talked about our roles. Vonne has previous experience with App Inventor and offered to do coding. Claudio and I also want to do coding because we want to learn App Inventor better. So we will take turns with the coding. Charles prefers to do testing and to give the presentation. We also divided up smaller tasks like creating the fake messages, finding an icon for the app, etc. There is plenty of work to do and everyone seems eager to do their part, so I think we have a great team!
