Week 0 Activities
Project Manager discussed Project Poppit and assigned tasks to each team. I began to formulate ideas and gain a sense of familiarity with the Poppit game.

Problem Statement
Create and record a consistent "chuncking method" that pops the most number of balloons from the pool of balloons in Popoit. The preferable result would be 0 balloons left

Assign Task1
Play a series of Poppit games and evaluate various chunking methods.

Compare actual work done to Task1
Played a total of 40 games and sub-sectioned each 8-10 games with an individual chunking method. Most of my methods were ineffective in increasing the number of balloons popped. The chunking methods used were:

-Popping balloons in partners

-Popping balloons from left to right

-Popping balloons with the largest chunks and working my way down

-Popping balloons from bottom up

Week1 Narrative
I have not found an effective chunking method yet. The chunking methods used would create problems for the overall pool of balloons and would disrupt natural strings of balloons. A slight positive was the UNDO button because it helped me recover from careless mistakes and took away some human error.

Average # of balloons left: 20

Week1 Peer Review
Rhorton did a great job in evaluating chunking techniques and testing them over 80 times. The chunking techniques Rhorton used really pushed me to push the envelop in terms of chunking that progresssed the overall project to a higher level. 1sfoerster 21:08, 18 September 2011
