Making Instructions

This week, I worked on creating all the instructions images for both the Warehouse and the Living Room. Although this was not a very difficult task, it was tedious to work on and took around 3hrs to complete. It was a challenge to adjust to our new schedules given the current circumstances and allot appropriate time to spend on each of our classes. The instructions in the Living Room show the current required furniture pieces and their quantities, which the Builder will need to communicate to the Finder in the Warehouse. See below for an example of pieces required for a table. On the other hand, the instructions in the Warehouse would show the symbols on the different furniture pieces that should touch in order to be combined, which the Finder will need to communicate to the Builder in the Living Room. See below for an example where the green heart marking should be made to touch the green circle marking. I will be putting the source link for these instructions into arr...

Catalogue, Sound Effects, JSON for Instructions

This week I updated the image for the catalogue and added it to the Living Room environment as an image plane (~2hrs). I am currently adding smaller clickable planes on top of it to represent the different furniture options to choose to build. A screenshot of this can be seen below. I also looked for some sound effects to use for user feedback (~2hrs) when pieces are combined together correctly, incorrectly, pieces are dropped, etc. These sound files have been added to the shared drive and will be implemented in the code in the next few days. Some example sounds can be listened to at the following links: https://freesound.org/people/NenadSimic/sounds/150879/ https://freesound.org/people/grunz/sounds/109662/ https://freesound.org/people/GabrielAraujo/sounds/242501/ https://freesound.org/people/kirbydx/sounds/175409/  I also worked on adding JSON for the builder.js and finder.js files to store the required information for the instructions (~1hr).
