16/10/23 - App Ideas Development and Personality Quiz

In today's first lesson, we had to show what ideas we had come up with so far for our apps, so I showed my logo design and the wireframe/prototype that I had created for my app.

However, as many of us were, I was advised to change the name that I had come up with "Euro Listen", as it was too long for a name, so after some thinking and discussions, I came up with "Eu-Eu" (Pronounced You, You). 


I liked this name change, as it was much shorted and catchier, it gave the user some sort of personal feel due to the pronunciation sounding like the word You, aimed at the user, and after looking it up, the name was not used for anything else, as many other name suggestions had been.

Because of this name change, I also had to re create my logo, as I had used the name within it. I still have not come up with a final design yet, but I am working on it.



In the second session of the day, we started by beginning to look into our different personality types, to see how well we would work in our groups with different team roles.

We did this, by all taking a quiz on 16Personalities, to get our own personal results. According t the test, my personality type is INTJ-T. I have always been an INTP up until now, so I have changed slightly over the years, to become more judgmental than perceptive.



We then compared results around the classroom, and more specifically within our different groups, to see if we would be good working together.

Our group all had very similar results, as we were all considered Introverts, and most of us were Intuitive and thinking, and then half of us were more Judging, and the other half were more Perceiving. In the other group they were also all quite similar, however most were extroverted, compared to us all being introverted.

We looked at how this could help us and also how it could cause issues, such as how no one may want to speak up or take on a leadership role, however we may all work better as we all have the same ideas, although this could get a bit boring after a while.


After class, in the evening, a few of us went to the cinema to see The Exorcist: Believer. I thought this would be a good idea to get ideas for our horror game, as well as looking at the film production, and bonding as a group. The film was good in my opinion, and not as scary as I thought it was going to be.

07/12/23 - HTML And Figma Alterations

Image
In today's lesson, we covered a more in depth overview of  the HTML coding language as a follow up from last week's lesson. We looked at html tags again, as a recap, and then went on to write our own basic html code in the notepad app. We then learnt about the different tags to change text to be bold and italicized, as well as how to highlight and sub/superscript text. After this, we learnt about character codes, and how to add links and images into our web pages. Following this, we looked into lists and tables, and finished off the work with how to comment on your code. After this, we were allowed to just work on whatever work we needed to do. For this, I was editing my Figma app, to add in a time and Wi-Fi, service, and battery icons. After I'd added these in, I had to slightly rearrange parts of my pages to all fit in better. I also added in coloured rectangle behind each sections of my app, so that it would be easier to see what pages did what at a quick glance at the f...

10/01/24 - Final Game Session

Image
In today's lesson, I was working on my literature review, as I was for most of yesterday as well after receiving feedback within my morning tutorial. I was finding new sources to reference and add into my work, so that I could discuss the work of different people over many similar topics. However I then had the issue that I was way too far over the 1500 wordcount that I was supposed to be following, so I had to go through my previous work, and cut out or re-word sections that I felt were not as necessary for the overall message that I was trying to get across. In between my writing, I would go and see how the game finalisations were coming along, as Spike was getting ready to export the final game after fixing a couple of small bugs that we had found.

08/01/24 - Presentation, App Updates And Game Run-through

Image
In today's first lesson, I was finishing off my presentation. Although I only had a couple of pages left to finish, I needed to ask some questions on how to complete these sections as I wanted to make them as accurate as possible. I then thought of another feature to add to my app, which was a premium membership subscription, so I had to create another page to represent google, as when you press the button it will open a new google page to buy a membership.  I added a few different options for the membership, so that people can feel like they have options, and even added in a student discount option so that students with a lower or no income feel like they are getting a good deal and will be more likely to buy the membership. In today's second lesson, I was continuing to work on this presentation and app page, as our game group is basically finished and I can't really contribute much else for completion. Earlier in the week Spike had told us about how the church model wasn...
