Testing summary - Auckland New Zealand, 26 February 2011
Who: Fabiana, Leslie, Tabitha

Tried to test os11.uim on XO-1.0s but they failed to start after writing the
image. Created 3 USBs of the same download. Tried to update 3 XOs. All three
completed the write process and then on rebooting two stopped with the X in
the middle of the screen (could not access console) and one stopped with
some text. I wrote the text in IRC #olpc and someone said that it meant
there was a bad image, probably a bad USB. There was no md5sum on the
website so we don't know if the download was good but the write process
succeeded which has never worked before if the image was corrupted.


PJ Lite version 9
The cursor is much better, thanks

Boxes version 17
Game plays well. What was interesting was that only one of three of us had
ever played it as a child.

Numbers version 7
Played well but didn't have parenthesis for higher levels
After doing a few rounds you can work out strategies that let you solve the
problem without doing the math. Might be good as a practice tool but
probably not as an assessment tool.
Would be good if you could see the wrong attempts until you get it right.

Eleusis version 5
You dont know how many times you need to click the red card to get to the
end of the level, so maybe some space indicators that show you need 3 cards
to complete the level before you push the green button?
Could you make it so that you press the X gaming key for no and the tick
gaming key for yes? Then maybe the square gaming key could be new card and
the circle gaming key could be used for the green button? That would mean
you don't have to use the touchpad (which can be hard work on the XO-1).
Would be good if you could choose the level (so you can skip levels 2, 3, 4
when you have learned the rule in level 1).
We got stuck on level 11 where it got very much harder. Even when one of us
got it we didn't know why. Thank Goodness for the bartender who came and sat
next to us and immediately told us it was red black !!! oh dear. Levels 12
to 14 seemed easy but on level 14 there was something weird about it (looks
like two red cards and then two black cards but all of us had at least one
occasion where it didn't accept that - so maybe this level has a bug?).
Level 15 was difficult but we did manage to figure it out without the
bartender (even, odd). Level 16 was 3 of the same suit. Level 17 and 18 were
easy (numerical order and alternate colour). Level 19 was also pretty easy
(same suit or same number).
We would like to see more levels please. This game was awesome as it
entertained us for over an hour. Highly recommend this game.

Spirolaterals version 20
One of us played a couple of levels successfully before being distracted
into playing Trails with the others.

Trails version 4
Seems to be directional. Cannot have lower number below a higher number on
the grid, and can only go left to right numerically not right to left. There
are two buttons, appears the left is reset and the right is new game. You
only get points for numbers that land on a square that has its own number.

Collected power logs, attached.

Thanks
Tabitha
