Hello Wellington testers (and their friends)<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Thanks to the following people for coming - Brenda, Callum, Alastair, Jill, Fraser, Andrew, Edward, Tabitha, Uli, Stella, Grant<br><br>Here is a summary of today: eToys.<br>
We think etoys-80 is the shipped version - we have 2 XOs running this. We have all our other XOs running etoys-94.<br>
This is a complex activity and will require more testing. <br>When you rotate 90 and 270 some frame buttons go off the screen and there is no scroll option. The gamer keys did not seem to be active. <br>It took us a long time to find the player - could there be a start/stop in the top frame? <br clear="all">
When you close the script box, it is hard to get it back. Circle seems to mean close - could it be a stop sign like the activity stop or could it be an X or something that helps us realise the box is going to close? Also, the V for Variable was confusing to us as we thought it would be a minimise. <br>
Black and white screen - works fine, but the user has to remember that you cant do colour tests. <br>We tried sharing and got four XOs collaborating (see each other in frame and tested buddy chat on 2).<br>
Buddies chat window - took a bit for us to work out how to see it all, then realised we can resize. A scroll bar appeared in the middle of the text box (as in directly through the middle not to the side). Tried audio chat successfully, actually that was quite cool.<br>
Tried tutorials - they worked. <br>Saving and resuming from Journal works really well. <br>We would need to do another session on this activity to feel that we have tested it with any depth. <br><br>A note on Joke Machine - Fraser (8yo) has been testing Joke Machine for us. He found that when you name a joke book, if you press enter it goes to another line, not saving the name of the joke book so you have what appears to be file name having multiple lines... struggled with that a bit. When he clicked to add sound it showed all files in the journal, not just sound files. There was a request for a sample joke to be included with the activity. Thanks Fraser for all your excellent testing, and for your great jokes. <br>
<br>Thanks everyone. <br> <br>Kind regards<br>Tabitha Roder<br><br>(64)21482229<br><br>Support OLPC G1G1 - <a href="http://laptop.org/xo" target="_blank">laptop.org/xo</a><br>
