Sprint 6 is now over and with it came more completion towards the development. After this sprint very little is left in order to head into the second stage of development. Things that were completed include fixing a few bugs with data tracking, hooking into Trucking Time, selecting the music for testing, and implementing that audio.

​

During this sprint I got the all good from the designer of Trucking Time so I can now implement data tracking for their game. For their game I decided to track the amount of deaths, player completion, and total time played. This should give me enough data to use for my data collection purposes as I can compare the player completion time to the player deaths to get a general gauge of how well they did during testing. Once the player beats the game the system will automatically finish as the test is over.

​

I also gathered audio that will be played during the test. The system automatically assigns the player's group and will play the corresponding audio that is associated with it. The audio that was gathered needed to be pretty long as the player will be listening to it on repeat for the entire test. It also needs to be relatively the same throughout. For classical audio I decided to choose the Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16 composed by Edvard Grieg. This piece was chosen because after recently performing it I believe it is a good representation of classical music and is relatively long at 30 minutes in length.

​

For the placebo audio I chose to use white noise as that could be used to make sure that my findings are significant or not. I also gathered jazz audio which was relatively hard, but I eventually chose this jazz clip from a free music site. It is five and a half minutes long which isn't that long, but should be sufficient for what I am testing for. All I need now is to collect the rock music which I already have my eyes set on one, but need to verify the availability of it.

​

Overall, This sprint wasn't the biggest; however, there really is very little left that needs to be done! All I have to do is find a rock track that is free to use and wait for the final builds for the 495 games.
