Today I learnt how important it is to fail. This may sound quite stupid but in fact, failure is just learning from mistakes and making improvements. A strength of today is that I managed to make objects inside my game spawn randomly, which was part of a SMART target for this term. I feel proud of this because my peers were not sure how to do it. A weakness of today is that the game and both assignments are due tomorrow but I don think I will be able to finish them so may require an extension.

My Targets for this term are

• Improve communication skills by asking more questions and answering more questions in class.
• For U22 create a game that runs smoothly and is consistent. Make sure you test thoroughly to check for errors. Make it so that the enemies spawn randomly.
