Week 7 - Testing Session

Testing Session:

In this session, several players has been ask to complete the task(fig 1.) that is given by a google form. These questions mainly contain two options, one is completed the task and the other one is failed the task. HangerSNAKE, is a single player game which allow user to eat up the correct letters to earn points. 

The first task is to ask user to move the snake using "w", "s", "a" ,"d", 9 out of 9 players have completed this task, on the other hand, the first task has a 100% complete rate. The second task is to ask user to control the snake to eat the letters on the screen, 9 out of 9 players have completed this task, so 100% complete rate in the second task. The third question is to ask user to follow the black line on the stage to test whether the snake will go outside the wall or not, and there were also 100% complete rate. The fourth question is to ask user to keep eating the correct letter to increase the score, however, a bug appear that sometimes the letter would go outside the stage that snake would not able to reach it and thus the player can not earn any point. The fifth question is to ask user is to ask user whether they find it is difficult to play the game or are there any bugs in the game that need to be fixed, and it appears one big problem is that the letters always appear outside the stage that snake could not reach to it to earn more points and freeze the game. The last question ask user to choose which game style is better, score game style or lives game style, 3 out of 9 prefer the score game style and 6 out of 9 prefer lives style. 

Overall, the testing session is quite successful, and user has competed almost every task in the game. However, improvement such as changing the score to lives would be better suit for this game and limit the letter's appear range that would allow user to win the game.
