Found the roots screen with only 3 options easy to discern.
The Host function was self explanatory
When asked to ping for robbers in the second part of the first set of tasks didn’t know what to do.
“uhh so I have to ping”
Maybe did not understand what ping meant
Saw the ping button and entered it, wasn’t sure what to do.
The final cop scenario is to capture an opponent robber
Had trouble with how to capture
We did not set up a mechanism for capture because we assumed everybody who knew the rules of the game would know how to capture
Ended up simulating a capture like if the game was being played without a cell phone
Joining a game similar enough to hosting a game this was not a problem
Was unsure how to access the menu to use items.
Pinging for cops was misnomer as it was actually an item.
This confused the player
Player did not need to explicitly touch buttons on the phone to initiate arrival at goal, maybe something should be pressed on the phone to increase interaction
Tried to access ping, when asked to use item to find cops ping needs to be removed from the robber menu screen
Erica:
"i want to set some sort of time limit; i don't see a num bad, intuitively use arrows, pressed up fisrt, some number pops up"
tried to start game without setting start/stop location; pressed ender without knowing what he did. then started game; go to enter name;
pinging- assumed he pressed enter; go to menu; tried to use item; figured out how to ping.
robber:
join game - enter name; ready;
item - ran to rings; tried to ping without using items.
