DECO1800 Week 13 presentation Reflection

This week we presented our final product to our class for part C of our Major Assessment. I had spent the hours prior to this presentation frantically preparing for the short pitch we would be assessed on, printing out leaflets and bug testing our game.

Unfortunately I had not gotten our image implementation working in time for our presentation, it had become apparent that the canvas was redrawing itself over our image every frame, hiding it from view. Luckily our product was due in the afternoon and for the sake of the presentation I was allowed to ignore the bug.

Numerous students tested our game throughout the session, many finding it rather tiresome to play through every level. It became apparent very soon that we should have conducted more play-testing to adjust the games pace.

Overall I believe our presentation was successful, we demonstrated our API to our tutors when they visited our stall and even taught a few students fun facts about the Vietnamese war. After our presentation was over and our class dismissed, I rushed off to one of the computer labs to fix our game and write up our report. I had the finished product submitted by 2:00 Pm.
