Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the digital prototype we built last week, we had another playtest session with random college students at Hunt Library again, and we also had playtested with 4 middle school students who visited the ETC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the feedback, we iterated a new build with a new tutorial puzzle, and both the art and program were upgraded. At the end of the week, we went to Cornell High School and playtested with 6 high school students in their CS class. Compared to last week’s build, players showed a better understanding of the mechanics and puzzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design-wise, we came up with drafts of two more tutorial puzzles and a puzzle targeting the concept of binary exploitation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
