Design Spec

Today we started off with a quiz all about the day in the life of a games designer. I found the video to be a bit inaccurate because this was just one persons experience and not necessarily everyone's personal experience when working as a games designer. I felt the questions in the quiz were of a mixed difficulty because some questions were about information like what game she likes to play but then there were questions like what brand of air freshener was on her desk. I managed to achieve a score of 8 out of 10 but I still did not win nevertheless I did not come last so I do not have to do the quiz on the final day of term next week.

We then moved on to continuing with any work to do with assignment two task one. I continued on with my design specification and I managed to complete some pseudo code for my game which is part of the assignment criteria. I also completed a part of the report and I hope to get the rest of the evidence for assignment two completed tomorrow as this is when the deadline is for assignment two. I feel I should meet this deadline because I am nearly done now.

I feel I do not need any help at this stage because I am currently working on assignment two which is the design side of the game and not the actual creating of the game. I hope to have this work done tomorrow so that I can meet the assignment deadline and then be able to play around some more with Game Maker before I get straight to creating the game. I will probably need help at the creating stage of the game because I have a lack of experience with Game Maker and I am not very good at coding.

Overall today was a good day because I worked very hard to get the storyboard ready for scanning by drawing over it in black pen. I then moved on to the design specification and the pseudo code that has to be done with the design specification after that I wrote up some of the report but I still have some of it to write up before I am finished. There were negatives like the amount of work I still have to get done before tomorrows deadline and it was really cold again this morning so I nearly froze.
