*****Multiplayer Online Software Engineering Process Game Instructions*****

*****Introduction*****

MO-SEProcess is a multiplayer online game designed to simulate the management of a moderately sized software development project. You as a software engineer must collaborate with other players to develop a software system.

You manage a role, i.e. a software engineer, by giving him or her tasks. So long as the software engineer isn?t on a break, he or she will faithfully execute the tasks. Each software engineer, however, has varying proficiency at each task. Furthermore, when too many team members are allocated to a task, the performance of the team at the task will drop

This was the first time playing the MO-SEProcess Game. The class scored a 58. Below is 2 screenshots and the chat during the game.

[12:31] TimingBoard: The game has started.

[12:31] Furry Lyon: i m creating a document

[12:31] Jade Battery: someone should start on design next

[12:32] Nebris Erskine: sure I'll do it

[12:32] Furry Lyon: i m doing req

[12:32] Nebris Erskine: I got design

[12:32] Jago Hyde: im in req

[12:32] Furry Lyon: too many people are doing req

[12:32] Jade Battery: yeah

[12:32] Spirit Kronos: I'm bad at anything but coding, so I'll get to it fast.

[12:32] Jade Battery: someone switch to design

[12:32] Nebris Erskine: I'm designing

[12:32] Jade Battery: we need specs before you can code

[12:32] Nebris Erskine: I'm designing still

[12:32] Nebris Erskine: I'm reviewin g the design

[12:32] Nebris Erskine: 1% complete

[12:32] Jade Battery: i'm reviewing requirements

[12:33] Nebris Erskine: in case you can't tell, I suck at design,

[12:33] Nebris Erskine: 5 months experience

[12:33] Spirit Kronos: I don't have good design experience. I'll review requirements until ready to code.

[12:33] Jade Battery: i'm correcting requirement errors

[12:33] Nebris Erskine: BeiBei go design

[12:33] Nebris Erskine: I should be testing

[12:33] Jade Battery: we need more people on design

[12:36] Nebris Erskine: But 5 months experience = me suck

[12:36] Nebris Erskine: I should be testing...

[12:37] Spirit Kronos: Hey, why are we making code without even having a design?

[12:37] Nebris Erskine: thanks whoever is helping with design, I appreciate it

[12:37] Nebris Erskine: Should I start testing?

[12:37] Furry Lyon: start on test document someone

[12:37] Nebris Erskine: I'll test

[12:37] Furry Lyon: design doc is still not done

[12:38] Spirit Kronos: Well, we're only good at coding so we should be doing it. I'll swap tasks with you.

[12:38] Nebris Erskine: heck yeah, testing is what I'm doing

[12:38] Jade Battery: we should fire nini

[12:38] Tigue Castro: furry stop creating code
