Report on Change Simulation Week

Here are the list of accepted changes. These changes are organized by the project.

Group 1 aka Will Code For Food:

• What if I want the application to support the Portable Game Notation (PGN) as well?
• Can the same game board support a 3D version of GO?
• What if the view of the board is obscured when two moves are made? Can the application be enhanced to determine who moved first?

Group 2 (defunct):

Group 3 aka Fighting Mongooses:

• What if I want to allow doctors to see a list of all their appointments?
• The Voice Response Unit provides 'set appointment' and 'cancel appointment' options. What if the patient wants to reschedule an existing appointment?
• Why only support US telephone numbers? What if the phone number was to a company and to reach our patient, you also need to dial an extension. What about international numbers?
• What if I want to allow visitors to look up the room for a patient?
• What if I also want to allow pharmacists to log on to the system to check a patient's medication?
• What if I want our patients to be able to access their account and billing information via a web interface as well?

Group 4 aka AWESOME:

• With the current design, the AI scripts that a creature uses are assigned from the menu, and on each turn, each script is executed in order until one of them returns true. What if, however, I want a creature to be able to dynamically select its AI script in response to its environment?
• Can I support various kinds of monsters with different properties? Furthermore, I would like to be able to treat these monsters uniformly across the rest of my application?
• What if I want to add a special teleporter tile which would move the player or any enemies on it to a sister teleport tile?
• Can I record debug information about custom AI scripts? This will allow me to keep a log of statistics, hit points, etc, so that I can fine tune AI scripts.

Group 5 aka NAME:

• Why is speaker system group limited to one level of hierarchy? What if I want to add a speaker system group inside another speaker system group? What if I want to have a collection of speaker systems and speaker system groups inside a speaker system group?
• What if instead of VLC, I want to support another broadcast mechanism such as Shoutcast?
• What if I want to allow master control (playlist, volume, etc) to be controlled by a remote computer or handheld device (such as remote)?

Group 6 aka RAGE:

• The application is currently dependent on the FTP connection type. Let us consider a change to add other connection types e.g. secure file transfer. The impact of this change is not localized in the current design.
• What if I want to support another programming language with a different commenting style?
• What if instead of a proprietary template form, I want the application to use XML format and usr XML stylesheets (.XSL files) for formatting?
• What if, instead of exporting a project to HTML, I want to export it to a format more suitable for printing, such as LaTeX/PostScript/PDF? This way, people can get nice-looking, nicely-formatted hard copies of a project.
