Retrospective:
1. Other People’s Projects:
- One project I found really interesting was Aditya’s
- His level seemed basic, but he was able to animate a tree getting chopped down by the character
- never learned in class how to animate non-NPC’s and non-player’s
- animations for the game level was really smooth, looked life-like
- however, an improvement that I think he should make is have the tree do something, like give you xp if you chop it down
2. Future Plans in Computer Science
I plan to take AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) in 11th grade to build my coding and problem-solving skills. I want to learn the basics of JavaScript and Python, as they are widely used in software development. I’m also considering majoring in Computer Science because I enjoy programming and problem-solving. In the future, I hope to gain hands-on experience through internships to apply my knowledge in real-world scenarios and explore different areas of the field.
3. Reflection on Individual Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Strong organizational and time management skills, allowing me to plan and execute projects effectively.
- Ability to break down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps, making problem-solving more efficient.
- Natural leadership qualities, ensuring tasks are delegated effectively and group projects remain structured.
- Logical thinking skills that help in structuring code and improving overall problem-solving abilities.
Weaknesses:
- Struggle with debugging complex errors, which can slow down progress.
- Need to improve patience and develop better troubleshooting strategies when facing challenges.
- Sometimes focus too much on structure, which can make it difficult to adapt to unexpected changes.
