Today I continued programming the two components that were my main task, while implementing them I also implemented other parts of the diagram I designed as they were needed or when it was simply more efficient because I was touching related code anyway. In the afternoon I had another meeting with David, Mike, Stijn and… Continue reading Day 6

I continued my work from the day before and continued setting up the new project and importing all the assets and code I needed.

I went through the Design Document again and wrote down every single bit of information that was either confusing or that had an impact on the technical design. When I was done I was left with a rough idea of how the game’s structure should be set… Continue reading Day 3
