Week 1

After forming groups during the lesson last week, this week is the first that we have had to start working on our mobile game. My group consists of myself 2 other programmers and an artist. After a bit of discussion I was quickly named group leader as thanks to doing a placement year I had experience with how projects should be managed. Following this we discussed ideas for what kind of mobile game we should make.

One member of the group suggested an idea they were passionate about and after looking into it is seemed simple enough to get a prototype working and has enough room for us to show our skills as such we decided to go with that idea.

Following deciding on our idea I assigned work to be done by next week. I assigned the artist to work on the main character art as that would be the first art we need to use and would make all of our prototypes look better than a pink square.

I saw there being 2 main programming tasks the dragging and dropping of the character and the rooms you drop them into as there were two other programmers I assigned each of them one of those tasks with the person who was enthusiastic about the rooms being assigned to that task.

I assigned myself to work on the documentation as that is worth a fair amount of the grade and there was no point in me working on programming when the major tasks are already being worked on. I also assigned myself to work on the PowerPoint for our idea pitch that is happening next week.
