CS3216 - Losing track of the week numbers

It has been a while since I last posted something, probably because the past few weeks has been so hectic. I feel like it's really hard to manage all these modules. I'm losing grip on some of them, and even my 3216 Final Project is not progressing as well as it should be.

Complexity of a Project

When we first accepted the project, we knew that this can be a huge project. However, we did not expect it to be this complex. There are a lot of requirements from Garena that made us rethink about how are we approaching the project, how are we creating the schema, and how do we design the UI. In short - It's extremely difficult.

We considered making it a big project - expanding our scope to not just Garena. However, we decided against it for the module due to how complex it would be and the time limitation.

However, when we met with Garena, it turned out that they has the same vision for the project. Therefore, we decided to try to make a scaled down version of the product for the module.

CS3216 - Recess and Week 7

Recess week concluded surprisingly well. Compared to assignment 1, my group, fortunately, wasn't a deadliner. We finished almost all of the features by the night before the submission day, and we spent a few hours on the submission date itself to fix some bugs and write the final report. I even have enough time to go to the Garena Open House on Friday!

Overall, I think we did well for our assignment 3. Our team seems to be very organized. Sam and Louis are pretty good developers, and Yiting is an amazing designer. It has been a pleasure working with them.

I did not do much during week 7 though, because of... well... midterms. Evan and I did some UI mockups for our final project though. Oh, and we also met Orange in Garena on Wednesday.
