Final alterations to prototype

Exhibit feedback

While all of the feedback provided to us at the exhibit are useful and have been discussed within the group, many of the criticisms related to functionality or features that we would have liked to include, but mostly could not due to our team's focus on getting the core social aspect up-and-running. However, some of the feedback was on small-scale issues that hampered users' ability to have lengthy interactions with the prototype. Namely, that we were using the one singular phrase. To solve this:

Random generation

A simple(ish) change to the backend allows us to randomly select one of three phrases to explore. While this seems easy to do at the surface level, this was a little bit more complex than initially thought - translating the randomly chosen phrase to a back-end token to recognise what the 'current' phrase to show information about on the results page actually proved pretty tough. This was mostly because the implementation of the 'priority' token and the restructuring of the database to allow for multiple phrase chains kind of broke things - as was expected. However, things were fixed! It was mostly syntax stuff.

The goal of this change was to make it so that users could get a better understanding of the types of scenarios that they might happen upon - while there are limitations to it, it's a relatively simple change and won't be able to be tested by any users, it's just one of the many features we would have wanted to be able to complete if we had more time.
