10 Questions

So what did you think of the assignments?

I enjoy the assignments, they give you a challenge but at the same time they are fun and allow you to learn as you go along.

How would you rate the assignments in terms of difficulty?  Look at them both, and just tell me which ones were easy, which ones were harder.  Or were they both easy or both hard? if so, can you give me an example of a subject you’ve learnt? 

The assignments presented different challenges, i found the assignments i first did to be harder than the last few as by the time i was creating space invaders and the maze game i had become much better with using software such as game maker, so therefore i found it easier.
For 3 in one gaming you did 2 games .. (so answer two out of the following three questions)

In the platform game, name one thing you learned during its development.  

I learnt how to use drag and drop to create a game, also to create a game using a brief thats been given. In the maze game name one thing you learned during this assignment.

I learnt how to code for games, i studied various methods of how to make the character move in an animated style, using phy_position in order to code it. All this i learnt whilst doing this course.

Right, here’s a slightly off the wall one:  did you learn any maths during this experience?  These assignments?

I did not learn any maths since i have done full GCSE but i did use maths multiple times in coding processes and for the creation of my Maze game.
Do you think you gained any maths when you did any puzzles for the maze game? 

Yes as i hadn't done maths for a while, so making this game required me doing more maths again which i almost re learnt whilst doing the game.
How do you rate your maths?  Give us a scale, are you good?  
What GCSE grade have you got etc?

Out of 10, i would say around 8 as i can think quickly and work out sums and other areas of maths such as fractions quick too. I got a C at GCSE level.
How hard did you find the maths during these assignments?

Not too hard at all, it is relatively simple with only a few times being confused, but always resulting in an answer.
Do you think your opinion’s towards maths has changed?

A little, i now understand that maths is more transferable and needed much more in daily life than i previously thought, especially in game design.
