Abstract
Projektet tog udgangspunkt i ønsket om at lave en bedre Android-udgave af brætspillet Khet, fordi en eksisterende app kun havde fået middelmådige tilbagemeldinger. Målet var at udvikle en ny app, der fokuserede på få, nødvendige elementer og at hæve kvaliteten gennem en brugercentreret, iterativ proces—hvor brugere løbende tester, og udviklerne forbedrer. Da appen nåede en spilbar tilstand, blev der gennemført brugertests. Deltagerne gav feedback om, hvilke dele der krævede mere arbejde, og på den baggrund blev appen justeret gennem flere iterationer. Til sidst blev der lavet en afsluttende test med flere brugere. Resultaterne viste, at de dele, der havde fået mest feedback, faktisk blev forbedret, men at appen som helhed stadig kan blive bedre med yderligere finpudsning.
This project set out to create an improved Android version of the board game Khet, since an existing app had received only mediocre user feedback. The aim was to build a new app that kept only a few essential game elements and raised overall quality through a user-centered, iterative process—inviting users to test and refining the app in cycles. Once the app reached a playable state, a series of user tests were conducted. Participants pointed out which parts needed more work, and the app was updated through several iterations. A final test with more users followed. The results showed that the elements that had received the most feedback did improve, but the application as a whole would still benefit from further polishing.
