Journal Entry 4

Activity: 

• Redesigning onepage level design to follow suggestions given in practicals 
• Going trough scripting tutorials

Invested hours(I'm counting only hours at home, and rounded to hours):

• Redrawing and redesigning onepage level design: 1 h
• Scripting tutorial 1: 4 h
• Scripting tutorial 2: 1 h

Outcome:

• Updated one page design document for level in 2D platformer game
• WebGL build of a platformer game in Project T with scripting done from tutorials

Notes:

• Practicals were very engaging, we don't do reviews of other's work in any other class, so it was great to practise these 'soft skills', I would love to see this approach in other classes, not just do something (calculate, program and so on) but also what is good about it, what could be done better and so on...
• Comments for the one page design were: to much enemies, to much text, visualize how much blocks Ellen jumps, lack of visualization for the whole level, well done visual design, multiple rooms are cool
• Redesigning the onepage level design was straight forward
• Scripting tutorial were interesting, on the other hand I had o lot of issues with Unity (as I mentioned earlier, Unity sometimes just crashes and I don't know why and all my work is erased If I didn't save it)
