Week 3:

• I worked about 2 hours in class and 2 hours outside of class
• I made progress on the proposal draft, and started working through the Phaser tutorial.
• I need to compare and contrast technology for my proposal.
• I will finish the proposal early in Week 4.

Week 4:

• I worked for 4 hours in class and about 3 hours outside of class time.
• I finished my Proposal and started working on my Tutorial assignment.
• I needed to think through my Tutorial a bit more to get a direction on it
• I discussed possible avenues with Dr. Skiadas and decided on a concept

Week 5:

• I worked for 2 hours in class and 6 hours out of class.
• I made revisions to my Proposal, continued making progress on the Tutorial, and I did some more research on sprites and other game assets.
• I need to get some more clarification on Proposal revisions. I have to research enabling mouse controls in Phaser before moving forward with that part of the tutorial.
• I mostly just need to sit down and do the research.

Week 6:

• I worked for 2 hours in class and 5/6 hours outside of class.
• I started researching materials for my Tutorial, I completed my Presentation, and made some minor revisions to my Proposal.
• I didn't really run into any problems this week.
• I need to find a different direction to go in with my Tutorial because adding mouse inputs for 2D platforming games is kind of difficult and not user-friendly.

Week 7:

• I worked in class for 2 hours and outside of class for 4 hours.
• I finalized the Proposal revisions, continued working on my Tutorial, and I created and gave my Presentation.
• I am having a hard time finding resources for enabling mouse input for Phaser scenes.
• I may have to scrap that idea and choose another feature to enable in my tutorial.

• I may need to meet up with Dr. Skiadas outside of class

Week 9:

• I worked for 2 hours in class and __ hours outside of class.
• I was able to set up the project structure for my Project and I have started working on it. I also made revisions to my Tutorial.
• I am trying to figure out how to implement a basic menu before starting on level design. So I am working through that.
• I will look for some online examples/tutorials to help me figure it out.

Week 10:

• I worked for 4 hours in class and 4 hours outside of class.
• I set up more of the html files to open the app via GitHub.

Week 11:

• I worked for 4 hours in class and 5 hours outside class.
• I created a sample level to get other functional things working such as sprite rendering, movement mechanics, physics, and other necessary game elements that depend on having some form of a map. I am working through player movement and interactivity.
• The player sprite is rendering, but I am unable to give keyboard inputs to move the sprite around.
• I need to meet with Dr. Skiadas again to debug my code and implement more classes that are functionally necessary for the game
