- The game can have more than one path
- Flowchart shapes meanings:
- Ovals mean start and end

LAB (THEORY PRACTICED)
I learned how to create a flowchart and what all of the different shapes mean.
OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY & THE BRAIN)
Elizabeth Gilbert discuss creativity and genius
- Somehow we have accepted this notion that creativity and suffering are somehow linked
- Ancient Grece and Ancient Rome people did not believe that creativity came from humans
- They believed that creativity was a spirit that came to humans from some unknowable source
- The Greeks called the spirit Damon and the Romans called it a Genius
- Society wants us to be controlled and be unpredictable
- Creativity is wild and free and the layers of conditioning suppress it so when someone is creative they don’t fit.
STUDIO (GAME DESIGN)
Unity
I ended on “Starting the development”.
WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
I learned the basics of Javascript and Unity. The thing I enjoyed the most was creating the flowchart. Seeing my ideas in a visual way really helped me. A problem that I solved was, my power went out on Wednesday and I was in the middle of writing my blog and it disappeared. Everything got de; let but I didn’t panic and I rewrote my blog adding on a few more things.
