Creativity Mission

For this mission I am in group with Aaron and Joe. We decided on doing the gaming aspect of this mission as we have an interest in gaming.
My goals for this mission is to work as a group, create a game and to demonstrate our research on our power point on the aspects of gaming.
As a group we hope to produce a functional game that shows off what developers have to go through to make a game. Show off the creative side of it as well as the actions/code that makes the game function. We hope to show off our research in a power point that gets the points across in our own words in a understandable way.
We are using a game maker website called Flowlab. We will create the game on this website using its provided tools. I don't have much knowledge of this website but I will watch videos on YouTube and look up posts on google about how to set up the actions. For my research I used a lot of my own knowledge of gaming from being interested in it since I was young, and I also used Google to help with anything I'm was not sure of. I also relied on the others in the group for anything I'm was not sure of for the website or points I used for my research. For our presentation we used Microsoft office PowerPoint to create our slides on our research, then at the end show off the game and how we made it, then present it in class.
After the mission is finished:
                Overall I am very happy with how our mission turned out. We worked great as a group and helped each other out when it was needed. The PowerPoint went well. We all had our own points in it. The game turned out perfect. After a lot of trial and error with the actions of the game, it eventually turned out the way we wanted. We all contributed to the making of the game. The only thing that I would of changed was that we focused more on the PowerPoint then showing off the game. We didn't get to show off how we made the game or any actions. However, we did get to show the game level off... even though Joe died straight away. I am very happy with how everything went.

Introduction

My name is Eoghan McDonnell. I am 19 from a small village in Kildare called Rathcoffey. I live in the back arse of knowhere. Big culchie. I am a big GAA head. Played Gaelic my whole life for Rathcoffey. My team just won our Championship for the first time ever. Played half back. It was the first trophy we have had in over 40 years so there was some session that night. No work for me the next day.



My team
Drag to Reposition
 I did MMA for around 10 months. Mainly did wrestling. Got addicted to that. Did the striking every once in a while. I got to train with some big names in the fighting business. I was lucky enough to do a wrestling class with Mcgregor. I trained with some of his sparring partners aswel. I don't do it anymore as I could never make the classes in the end because I live too far away to make it everyday but I enjoyed it for the time I did it. Might go back one day.

My favourite drink is an ice cold pint of Bulmers. Drink it like its water. Used to be a lightweight but it takes a fair bit to get me messed up now. Not good for the oul bank account.

I did Creative Digital Media last year as a plc in Dunboyne. It was a bit of a piss take to be honest.
Didn't really go in, in the second semester because it was just all assignments that could be done at home.
For my career goals I would like to end up in a job that I enjoy and that pays well for the work that I would be doing.
A normal day of fun for me would probably be with my mates doing something, or going to the gym or gaelic training. Hate sitting on my arse at home. I like to be active.
I work in Easons in Maynooth. I have worked there for 3 years now. Its a bit of crack. Everyone is sound. You deal with some characters though. Theres some odd people in this country.
Think that's everything about me 👌👍
