Prompt: How do I approach designing software? What new design skills has your work on the project helped you to craft? What design process did you follow for your project work? How could tactics from your design approach be applied in future work? Answer: I have learned new design skills in both code structure and computer graphics. More specifically, the importance of modular coding/structure and how to command a computer to visualize 2d and 3d space. Unfortunately, i did not follow my usual process for much in this course because we were given quite a bit of code that we were directly referencing. For the project, i stufied each requirement, and then revisited relevant sections to understand what was needed from me. This could be useful for debugging/maintenance purposes.
Prompt: How do I approach developing programs? What new development strategies did you use while working on your 3D scene? How did iteration factor into your development? How has your approach to developing code evolved throughout the milestones, which led you to the project’s completion? Answer: I do not believe i used any new strategies, just the same student's tactics as always. Iteration was a huge factor, i like to break work up into smaller and measurable tasks, then test it, then add it to the whole to test, then repeat for each task. I think the only change was how i structure my code. In the future, i will definitely putting more thought into how exactly my code looks to the human eye.
Prompt: How can computer science help me in reaching my goals? How do computational graphics and visualizations give you new knowledge and skills that can be applied in your future educational pathway? How do computational graphics and visualizations give you new knowledge and skills that can be applied in your future professional pathway? Answer: Game development is a career path i am seriously considering, needless to say, understanding graphics and visualization is important. Same thing for educational, i plan on taking game development classes so it will be a great help.
