Tenth Week Semester 2

Went in to see Dr. John again this week but had to make it a short talk. Just pretty much went over how things were going with the project, letting him know we were on schedule with the project and should  be able to get a number of things on our disk for submission in a couple of weeks. We had put up some stuff on one of the crowd funding sites, to get the ball rolling and see exactly what they were like. It was pretty easy to understand and set up, we didn't publish it since we need to put up some screenshots and videos for the game. At this point we are hoping to have the finished game, design document, project proposal, crowd funding proposals, these blogs, end report, screen & vidcaps, game graphics to be on the disk for submission. If we are able to, maybe put on some extra things if we think of any. Really just to try put as much as we can think of and get finished in for submission.

The next couple of weeks are the hand in's for the other two modules so we probably won't be able to do a ton of work for this module until after the hand in for advanced flash production which is at the end of next week. After that we will come back to this and just tidy and finishing everything off and make ready for the submission when we next go into see Dr. John. I'm personally a bit unhappy with how the actual game has come along, I tried to learn some C# but definitely didn't take to it well enough and have had to rely heavily on tutorials to get working functionality. I'll let Dr. John know when we hand it in, but I think our documentation could be enough to get a pass. I've had to spend quite a bit of time using Flash lately and looking back on it, the project would of been much better if I had my experience using Flash earlier. I found Flash easier to understand and it would of helped me get into C#. Don't really know why but it felt much longer than it did from doing code in second year to coding the projects this semester and I've found it quite tough. Hopefully all goes well though.
