DTE Reflecttion
I missed out on quite alot of work cause of my attendance but i really enjoyed making games and learning how to do it. I love being able to make my own story about the game that ive made. I liked learning how to choose the own path that i could learn. I will not be continuing doing dte next semester but i did enjoy it. I got asigned to doing things like scratch and gamefroot. I didnt really get any of it done because of how much I wasnt here but I enjoyed it and had fun while I was doing it.
