Thanks to doing computer science in secondary school and past programming units in college, I have gained some skills which will prove useful in completing this project. For instance in secondary school I gained knowledge in the programming language Python, this is has similarities to C# namely in its syntax. My skills in Python were further developed in college (by creating a text based adventure game), I gained an understanding of many different functions that would help me in creating this project. But they also aided in my understanding of c# due to the aforementioned similarities thus helping in my jump from Python to C#. My education on C# didn’t stop there however, I created a game similar to flappy bird and a simple racing game within Unity both of which used C#. Due to this my understanding and skills within the language will definitely help in creating this project. The experience will go a long way. As my game will lack created assets for style, my units in this won’t be of much benefit. However I will keep in mind what I did learn in case there is time for quick assets at the end. Nonetheless in all of these units a good amount of planning and research was necessary to ensure those projects were up to scratch. This experience planning and researching will be put into place for this project too. Namely using both bing as my search engine for searching for tutorials and explanations but also the AI chat bot for more in depth explanations and aid with writing code. 

Creating this unity project will help to answer my question “How to create an enjoyable platforming game that takes elements from the roguelike genre?” In answering this question I will become a better programmer and be able to create games that I and others will enjoy. Along with both creating a Unity project I will also do research of many different forms. For instance I will look at games of this genre. I will also read many articles and blogs to get an insight into the programming community and better yet, help with my code. Thanks to developments in AI I can use ChatGPT to gather research, and write code. To ensure I’m learning from code written I will ask it to explain what it writes, and only use this as a last ditch effort to ensure the project keeps moving. I feel this is appropriate as this is a new tool that should be used to its fullest extent, as this is likely what will begin to happen in many businesses. These in combination will both help to educate me in the programming side of the games industry. This project will help develop my skills specifically in both Unity and C#. Doing this will help me to get a job within the games industry in the future.
