October 31 ~ CLIPS ~ I think I have finally made the last few changes to Slicing Wholes, all rows greyed out by me.. Crystal needs to double check. ~ found and fixed ( I think) the shrinking text issue.. text was being set in the collapsed state of the ubTabContainer, reset the textFormat onTabSelect.. seems to be working okay ~ got the warning pod working in synch with all the other stage components.. followed our earlier deciding factor that if the user is clicking on something, then that is what they want to do, despite maybe not having answered my warning pod message.. think it is working all okay. ~ finished off the last few tweaks with the new position of the legend and when it should and should not appear.. it now seems to be working in synch with both the move the rest button and the resize warning message ~ added in a question and check button to my tester to begin working on feedback calls for Judy (8.1.5) ~ dumped everything into an activity template (so I could use the replay scene to check out different randomly generated questions)... what used to work just fine... is now broken! The hint button does not seem to work at all!!! No idea why, but will have to wait til Wednesday. October 28 ~ OAME Leadership Conference ~ Assessment ~ brain is full, more questions than answers, but lots of shared ideas and dilemnas October 27 ~ CLIPS ~ spent the day tidying up the last couple rows of slicing wholes.. and finding more stupid things to fix.. and fixing those.. and almost done(?)
