Well, first version is out and ready.
If you have any teachers you know of PLEASE send it to them and ask them to complete the information! Really need to find 10 more people in the next 24 hours before I need to write it up. Research is showing that it is making an improvement in people’s understanding of autism, but I need more to confirm!

Also, any additional feedback from you guys would be GREAT.
Thankyous =)
I liked the food in the bowl!
And I beat that damn washer… took me 4 tries, but I figured it out >.<
This is really cool! Nice job.
If you have a twitter account you can retweet this:
Good luck finding more people!

Thankyou! I’ll also be acknowledging you in my dissertation btw :).
Could I ask how long/hard it was to figure out? Or why it was hard? Trying to work out if it’s something in the game play or just in general :).

Well… mostly because once I turned the light out I couldn’t see very far in the kitchen and didn’t realize what the noise was. The first thing I hit was the table and then sort of fixated on that, not realizing there was more in the room.
I also got turned around looking upward without something to visually reference I was looking up (due to it being dark after turning the lights off). If the ambient light had been just a tad brighter, I don’t think I would have had the same problem. However… this may not fit since it is supposed to simulate a real situation.
You know… I’d love to lend a hand with this project… once you are through this portion and as you continue onward with it as an open source project, that is. Since my schedule is still all over the place, I’d likely be best suited for smaller, specific tasks you can throw my way (such as UI development, etc). Just shoot me a PM when you are settled in a bit and are ready to OS this.

Perfect! It is indeed the effect I was after :).
Indeed I would love to have you on board! Even if you have little time I think you have a lot of knowledge which could help with potentially consulting design choices or offering suggestions or picking tasks you’d like to do. After this…and exams…I do need to spend a month or two really bringing up my graphics skills; unfortunately having pressure to complete this meant less change to really learn what was going on in the backgrounds and I feel it’s hindered this a little bit. But, nvm! Will discuss at a later date :).
