User Testing- Puzzle Picture

 

It was pretty exciting to see my roommate and friend dive into the project I’ve been working on. They handled it surprisingly well, navigating through most of it without needing any pointers from me. That’s a good sign that things are intuitive. Most parts of the project seemed to flow smoothly for them, but the joystick part caused a bit of confusion. This is something I would need to focus on especially for those who aren’t familiar with sliding puzzles. I’m sure making that clearer would make it more user-friendly and increase useability. Once I explained the basic instructions—reading the guidelines and hitting the right buttons—they seemed to sail through the rest. Straightforward instructions can really make a difference. There are definitely some areas I want to improve. The shuffling aspect of the puzzle needs tweaking. Sometimes, it gets all twisted up in a way that makes it impossible to solve. It’s on my list of things to work on. Also, those key press functions need fixing. Having to stop and restart the whole thing instead of a simple button press for a restart can be a hassle. So these are things that I am definitely working on for improvement. But overall, I’m pretty proud of where the project stands. It feels good to be at a comfortable point, just needing a few tweaks to make it even better. Excited to keep refining it.
