Weekly Update - End Of Week 4 (April)

This was the last major week of work before hand-ins. Here is what was done:

This Weeks Intention

• Polish whole environment and finish up ready for handing in on Monday
• Use Sunday as a last overall check up and prepare everything for hand in on the Monday

This Weeks Results

• This week has been a very successful week. Monday was spent editing my dissertation after receiving feedback from my supervisor. I have not touched this since and will not be doing so until I have handed in my portfolio.
• The main objective this week was to complete and polish the game. I gave myself a room per day which worked out very well. Most of the days I was ahead of myself and managed to get a little more completed than intended.
• Saturday and Sunday have been two difficult days. I did not get what I wanted to complete on Saturday completed so that fell over to Sunday. This then made Sunday much more difficult.
• I did however manage to get everything completed to a very satisfactory result.

Personal Notes

Personally I am very happy to be near done. I do enjoy planning out the weeks like I have above as it gives me a clear indication of aims and goals. It also makes everything feel a lot easier. I will be carrying out one more blog post after this as a big final year review. I am handing this blog in tomorrow so I will not be posting anything more onto it.
