11/26/08 11:10 EST - Dan - I just went to visit the kitchen. I completed the first draft of the note card on Monday night. Did you get to look at it? I will be back in California on Saturday. It looks like you have made everything and it works well. How will the individuals get the clue when they complete the task? Is that something we need to do? If so, I'll take that on.

11/22/08 10:00 PM PST - Donna - I enclosed the kitchen for now and put a door on it that you can click to enter. The door also should give any avatar that gets within 5 meters a note card. We can edit the note card later to add more specific instructions.

My hope is that we can upload some text to identify the kitchen with a sign and add an "In" sign to the door as well. I will be looking into how to do this with Photoshop.

By the way - I noticed on the syllabus for our class that we are to have a walk through of our project on Monday night...

Dan, what do you envision we need to do?

1. Are the characters going to see a notecard when they're in the kitchen or given a gift box?

I think they should get a notecard upon entering that gets them into the learning activity. When they complete the activity they would receive the clue to who cybernapped Mr. Bill.

2. If so, then we need to build this?

Yes. I was thinking the activity could be to create a simple recipe and put it together to demonstrate interacting with objects in SL. For example: Pick up the eggs in the following manner and place them in the mixing bowl...

3. Do we need to feed the script options to the writers or they will give them to us to work around?

I think we just need to keep including as much info about the plan for our room as we can in the Wiki. I have created a new character named "Chef Essel" who would be the character in our kitchen. I also wrote some back-story for him on the characters page.

4. What interactions are you thinking about? I really don't know what you can do on SL. I'm open to whatever you think.

I guess I wrote this above... :) I'm not sure of all of the programming it might take, but I'm up for trying to get the recipe interaction to work. I was thinking if they put the pieces together in the mixing bowl it could turn into a cake or something.

I'll spend as much time on Sat. and Sunday as I can to make this work. Monday I'm flying to NYC and I'm going to do everything possible to remain in touch Thanksgiving week but its going to be hard. And, I won't be available for the run through on Wed.

I'm doing quite a bit of Action Reserach work this weekend and will also spend time on the SL project as well. I'm sure we can connect in there either today (Saturday) or Sunday.
