BME Summer Project 2020

Ghaith started this project as a team building exercise with his cohort and an awareness piece "In the beginning we were watching tv news specials on washing vegetables. Now hardly anyone can be bothered to comply with anything past their legal obligations. This website revisists the rules and regulations we have picked up by showing off Covid in our environment." Hardly new to the programming, he focused his energy as a project manager; setting up and following up accountability systems, keeping internationals up to date and connecting people to the relative experts of their problems.

Mark, a CS225 at Waterloo, headed the website development group. His contribution was second only to the documentation every programmer educated themselves from. Our Unity expert, there's little code that wasn't reviewed, laid out to his advice or produced from his own effort. Equally as important was his experience in leading these types of projects.

Rashmi brought together much of the research for the Interaction with materials simulation. She became knowledgeable in how the virus spreads and is transferred across surfaces. As a developer, Rashimi imported all the models for her group.

Khanh spent the majority of our development period as a researcher. She was responsible for investigating the different modes of Covid-19 transmission and the half life equations you see in the materials simulation. With her work timely completed she moved onto getting them into the code.

Isha took care of the graphical elements. The varied sprite sheets done by hand and a location to boot; you can thank Isha for the homey appeal of the work.

Ryan led the eight bit simulation team, holding everyone together for the journey. He was additionally responsible for the coughing and sneezing functionality, representing the immune system and masks programmatically as well as the main menu that preceded them.

Victor was left the Materials simulation in which he lead his team through the design and version control. Practically this meant most of the GUI was also his doing. Inevitably, he also had his part in the particle simulation.

Divesh was the one to beget the particle simulation in his group. As a part of his work, he had to research the mechanics behind these physics and pass them onto his subteam.

Sam toured the groups with his hand for UI. In general, he is to be accredited with much of the elements you interface with in the simulations.

Joe had an early contribution in the project. A third of the code we started with was from his effort, which can be said to have been an admirable standard among us. There's nothing he wouldn't do by the deadline, even considering he often had to cram to catch up with all the coding he had never been exposed to.

Jessica worked within the Web Development Team to design and create a user-friendly interactive platform for the display of simulations. She actively conducted/participated in brainstorming/check-in sessions to maintain positive progress of the project while facilitating greater involvement from the entire Summer Project Team.
