Data collection plan:

Our game is relatively simple. because of this, we only need to save a few things:

• A timestamp of when the user chooses an option

• Which option a user chooses (out of the 4)

• What screen the user is on

• The score gained by choosing that option
  
  

For each participant, we will ask their first name and grade level. This information will be used to corroborate the gathered data with survey answers.

The user's data will likely be saved as a .csv file. It may look something like this:

time, screen, option, score

15:20:40, 0, 0, 0 

15:20:40, 1, 1, 55

15:21:06, 2, 4, 70

15:21:31, 3, 2, 42

Where the first column is a timestamp of the action, the second is the screen the user is on, the third is the option (1-4) the user chose, and the fourth is the score the user gained by choosing said action.
(note that the first line will be the user clicking 'play' from the instructions screen)

From this data, we can easily find and chart a user's score (both total and average) over time as well as how much time it takes them to make each choice.
