I just wanted to congratulate everyone on a job well done this year. All of
our hard work and dedication paid off. And, In my humble opinion, I feel as
if we had the most complete and impressive project of the year (and in many
recent years).
We went above and beyond in creating 4 games, on top

I've changed the font color in RR to white. It alleviates some visibility

where the text is still somewhat hard to see, but I think white is about as
good as we're going to get.

As per some feedback, the SFX behavior has been changed in Rabbit Runner.
When the player gets hit by an enemy, we play the bunny's eep! noise.
When the player misses 3 consecutive questions, we play the pac-man noise.
We no longer play both.

Per a comment by our client partner, Rabbit Runner now features a tasty
blood smear left on the screen when the bunny gets killed. Try it out,
report bugs, let me know what you think.

point, but it seems to work and should be good enough for us to do some

Nice work! I like the new space we have. My only suggestion would be to
group the Notebook and Interview buttons together closer. An alternative
would be to make the Interview button have an icon like the tools since it
is a tool. Other than that, looks great!

Glad to hear the tool has helped you! That bug sounds interesting, I'll take
a look and see if I can find anything, or see if it's possibly something I
introduced in my fixes to the end game dialog...

Since I like Ian so much, I created a tool for him to assist in creating
the Scene.xml files for all of his Sleuth's scenarios.
The tool is very straightforward and is designed with ease of use
I'll be home in a bit and can try it out then. I encourage others to do so
as well. The more eyes, the better!
Also, Tom,
Could you file a bug report for this, but write it up as a wishlist stating
the game could benefit from this feature? Once you do, change the status to
In Progress,
Should the hints that the player unlocks in Sleuths be...
1. Added to their Notebook / A case log,
2. Or should they have to make a note about each hint that they want to and
have that be their only source of information to look at when they try to
solve the case?

I vote 2. I think 1 makes the game too easy and encourages random
clicking without thinking about their actions, since it will all be given to
them.

I did some work today on the Sleuths Notebook.
You can access it by building Sleuths here:

From there, launch Sleuths, and then click Notebook on the right-hand

My view on this is as follows:
Coverage is very important. When a teacher assigns homework, their goal is
that all of those problems are attempted because each one or each type
illustrates some particular skill.
The way we randomly select questions now hinders this, but there is an easy
fix:

The way I recall this conversation happening was that only Battleship would
be cross-disciplinary and that we would keep Frogger math-only.
We could do it either way though, just as long as we did some play testing
on the English side of things to see what sorts of questions we could ask in
