e. What did you enjoy most during this activity?
I enjoyed the challenge of creating my own game. I am a huge video game nerd and I have never actually designed my own game. Even if it was only one brief level, it was an awesome experience.
f. What did you find difficult during this activity?
Because I have already played so many platformer type games in my lifetime the tutorials and intro levels to the game were not very challenging. But I did try out some user made games and I have to admit there were a few that were very difficult. So i'm glad I was presented with a challenge!
