:bar_chart: Group Presentations
---

- **Shashank**:
    - Pieces are rescaled (smaller) if they are not on the board
    - Some bugs and things to be done:
        - double tap looks strange because the smaller pieces still have the same steering wheel
        - pieces (left of board) are rearranged after leaving drawing room
        - Discussion: Is it better to see pieces smaller outside the board or just in a designated area (like the left lane in current version)?
- **Serge**:
    - showed gallery
        - Discussion: the UI elements (menu, buttons etc.) should not be shown on a screenshot
- **Hassan**:
    - teacher mode: presented a balsamiq mockup
        - we are still unsure what is needed
            - Need to check with Clients regarding the stat metrics. Which all things to be included in the teacher mode.
        - student are always in one grade, so never students from different classes at the same time
            - teacher should select one class and then all students from this class are loaded
            - We need just one class and its list. No need to select class from the list.
    
    - custom icons: presented play and home button
        - we should have a label in addition to the icons
        - outline around icons (for high contrast)
        - high resolution (size 200 x 200 or something similar) is needed!! Best would be vector graphics... 
        - Have labels and buttons should not have circle around it due to usability issues.

    - need to fix the snapping , ghost pieces and other things.
- Chi
    - Proof of Pentomino conjecture
    - other things (see gitlab)
- Sebastian
    - Chi and I proved a Pentomino conjecture from 2010: https://git.cs.upb.de/bili/pg-nice-idea/issues/185
    - Usual reviewing in Gitlab
    - Some coding/other help in zulip etc
    - Merged:
        - https://git.cs.upb.de/bili/pg-nice-idea/merge_requests/85
        - Refactor Piece class
        - Fixed bugs and improved code in some interactions, wrote tutorial in wiki in Gitlab: https://git.cs.upb.de/bili/pg-nice-idea/wikis/Transformations-and-coordinate-conversion

- Pooja
    - Worked on Icon interaction is not working on touch events #175

:pencil: Results and decisions made today
---
- Rescale of pieces:
    - Grid and button should be smaller and relevant to the ipad resolution.
    - We need a tray to have the pieces all together.
    - pieces will be smaller in the tray and larger when we drag them out to the Grid.
    - interaction with pieces not possible in the tray.
- Finish screen will be more or less replaced by Timo (see [#188](https://git.cs.upb.de/bili/pg-nice-idea/issues/188) for details)
    - just in case this is not working as expected we take the finish screen as a backup
- **Master branch**: 
    - We need to fix the bugs in master, two options: 
        - we can fix the existing bugs (**very quickly**) , so we don't have to revert the work.
        - we can do the GUI again (do it again in small parts, unclear how small the pieces should be)
            - We need to break GUI task into smaller tickets (e.g. we should break RootUI scene into smaller scenes)
    - Try to make maintainable code so that it doesn't create problems for existing functionalities.

:mag: Discussions without an answer
---
- Rescale of pieces: where to place the tray: left or right or bottom? To be decided later.
