    Unfortunate Hardcoding

    This week at Disco Tray Studios, we have decided on a method to check if a user is an admin on the Hendrix Assessment website. Unfortunately, we decided to hardcode the admin usernames into the code to check if the user is an admin. This is not the most ideal or scalable method because only people who are familiar with the code will be able to add or remove admins. Another way we could possibly get this to work would to be to add a new table into the database that contains references to all of the admins. We are hesitant to modify the database because each time it is modified, the data that we are using is deleted.

    Back to the Disco Grind

    We’re finally back on campus at Hendrix for the 2020-21 Spring semester. I’m glad to finally be back and to be among my friends that I haven’t seen in almost a year.

    Merging Changes

    We have many different parts of the Hendrix Assessment being worked on at the same time. The pieces being worked on by Innocent, Griffith and me happen to involve much of the same parts of the project. This week we were tasked with figuring out how to merge all of our different pieces.

    New Table UI and Topics

    This week I mainly focused on working on the submission of Assessment in the Hendrix Assessment project. Griffith proposed a new way we could generate the table that the user uses to input their assessment information. I focused on implementing his ideas and was able to bring his vision to fruition.

    Azure Database

    This week at Disco Tray Studios we worked on both the Hendrix Assessment project and our Twitch. Lucy has been working on getting our Twitch account put together. I have yet to contribute to the Twitch scene, but soon we will all be creating educational videos about video games.
