13/11/23 - App On Phone And Ace Review

In today's first lesson, I was continuing to work on my app design.

As I had been working on this throughout the week, I was organizing my pages so that they were easier to see and work with, as they were a bit all over the place where I'd been creating them.

I also then had to make sure that all of my Search pages had working search components, to make it look like it works.

After this, I downloaded the Figma app onto my phone, so that I could see what it looked like on an actual phone, rather than just the Prototype on my laptop screen. By doing this, I realised that I'd rather change the frame size that I[d been working on from IPhone 8 Plus, to IPhone 13/14, otherwise on my phone, there was a black bar across the top and bottom of the screen, as the prototype size was smaller than the phone screen. I didn't like this, to I changed it to fit better.

I also realised that I had some of my interactions set to when key pressed, however I realised that my phone didn't have a keyboard to do this, so I added in a keyboard interaction to use instead, which I could use on my phone and was much better for my design.

In the second lesson, I was writing up my ACE Academic Reflection. This was a 500 word review on how I found our afternoon at ACE.

I wrote about how I felt the day went and what we covered whilst we were there, as well as including some of the feedback that we had received on our performances, so that it was noticeable that I'd read my feedback and responded to it.

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...
