Reflection

2. What was done?

- created opening "scene" for Table Tilt (rachel's game)

- work with Tyler to create buttons

*xml

-recursion

-located and removed false code


 

3. Problems encountered?

When I first heard I had to do recursion I was a little nervous but I have worked through it.  I've struggled some with working with code that isn't mine.  I value the practice however, as I am beginning to see that programmers are frequently building on top of somebody else's code.

 

4. What did you learn this week? (esp. computer science, or anything surprising or interesting)

I have learned the importance of comments.  Evie also gave a very interesting analogy for recursion which has illuminated the concept.   I have learned the importance of a functional design document, and I have learned a lot about project management and working under deadlines.

 

5. What's planned for next week?

* User Testing for  DT

* art revisions (ongoing)

* additional debugging on the DT

 

6. Hours worked. *80 (40 week 4 and 40 week 5)
