Exit Interview


Exit Interview

1. Which assignments did you enjoy and why?

I liked The Long Dark, since it was a big survival game that would take many hours to fully explore. Survival games usually don't catch my attention, but this being one of the few winter-themed games really caught my eye.

2. Which assignments did you struggle with and why?

I particularly struggled with Algodoo. It was fun, but it was a lot harder than it should have been, since the physics were inconsistent, usually changing everytime it was played.

3. Sum up your IT experience 
... What did you learn?
... What should you have done to do better?

I learned about HTML coding, blog-making, and animating. The one thing I would regret is not being serious. Being a class with technology, it's easy to slack off and mess around, something which I will try to avoid more often next year.

4. If you were to take IT in the future, what would you like to explore?

I'd like to explore more about coding, as computer programming can now make a living.

Game Journalism Day 5 - WALK THROUGH

1. Explain how to play this game.

To successfully get through The Long Dark, you need to always keep track of your status. Temperature, tiredness, thirst, hunger, and general condition are very important to your survival. Other than that, it's a typical survival game. Loot areas, light fires, hunt, avoid wolves and bears, and just do whatever it takes to not die.

Game Journalism Day 3 - TACKLE


Game Journalism Day 3 - TACKLE

Question 1: How many days to do you have to complete the challenge?

You have 7 days to complete the "Hopeless Rescue" challenge.



To create a fishing tackle, you need a hook and a line.






Then, you need to find a fishing hut and break the ice in the fishing hole in order to fish.




You can use either a hunting knife or hatchet to break the ice in the fishing hole.





Question 2: What did you do today?

I immediately booked it to a cabin after looting my spawn.



After I looted it, I went to a nearby frozen lake, which is where I found the fishing hut above.



I found a line in it and went back to the cabin to craft a hook.



After I crafted the hook, I made a fishing tackle and went back to the fishing hut, caught a fish, and stopped playing for the day.





To craft a hook, you need 1 piece of scrap metal, which can be either found or gotten by breaking down a metal object.



To craft a line, you need to get a gut from an animal corpse.



You then need to leave the gut indoors for 5 days for it to become a cured gut. After that, you can craft a line.
