While not being in my specific area, the work placement was a very unique and fantastic experience. I improved my communications skills, learned work ethics in a professional environment and also learned more about games programming.
My main tasks there were to upload and tag pictures in the College's website. Since it wasn't a very interesting task, I came up with an idea of a game where the game would ask questions about the user and in the end suggest him suitable careers and courses.
Sample of the game I created |
To create it, I used Scratch, since it is a simple engine and it works well on websites. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to finish the game, as I had other tasks to do and not everyday I got to use a computer with Photoshop.
I also got the chance to go to a few classes while I was there, and they were amazing. I learned a little bit of how to create 2D and 3D games graphics through programming, which are the basics of creating a game engine. I also had a peek on future topics I will be studying in the future, such as DirectX and Windows programming, which was awesome.
