Smart Grid Game Designer

[cammoore]

Work on developing the Smart Grid Game Designer.

• Added link to basic admin editor for the Actions. Not sure if I should add a specific editor for the Actions that doesn't have level, category and priority, since they will be changed by pressing save. Need to think about this.

• Need to work on adding filler and somehow getting the right
  slug. Should be able to get the filler-# using jQuery. Calculate the
  max then start adding one each drop.
• The erase drag should work for categories also. Erasing a category
  deletes the column? nah should clear the category for each of the
  actions in the column. Do we need an undo and how will we implement
  it?
• How do we indicate unlock relationships? Some sort of a line/arrow
  to the box that must be done first. This only accounts for the
  complete_action unlock prefix what about the other ones? Need a
  predicate parser? What are the current predicates that we use?

From 3/4/13 Meeting.

• Should SGG Designer be a top-level icon
  • OK if it is, OK if not. Yongwen can help.
• Erase action should be dragging the object to a trash can.
• List of actions should show what is legal to be added to the grid.
• Have to figure out how to have a "draft" vs. "published" version of a SGG.

Use SGG Library.

Remove the trash can it is confusing and potentially dangerous. Deleting live actions could remove points from players.

Need a deploy button to 'publish' the changes to the live game. No deletion of items, just clear level and category.

Want a 'diff' summary of the changes in the current designer and the live game.

Change the shape of the library actions and put a label around them so it is more obvious that they are different than the grid.

Fill the palette with the smartgrid actions that don't have a level and category. Moving a grid item to the palette removes the level and category.

Support dragging an action from the palette back to the grid.

Standardize the priority of actions in the fixtures and the designer (x100).

Add load example grid button that loads examples that can be deployed. The examples could clear the development actions.

Designer is ready for review on Monday 4/1.

Need logic in both the Designer and the Grid for the case where there isn't any levels. This should be ok, we could create a default level and not show the tabs when there is only one level.
