Night at The Museum

N@TM was an very fun, energizing, and interesting event to attend. I sat and watched the Jazz Bands play and I really liked the piece selection of Jazz A. Even though the singing part was interesting, I didn’t enjoy it because the band had to play softer to account for the quieter moving lines.

Reflection on CSSE’s Platformer 4x

CSSE’s Platformer 4x demonstrated a promising concept and engaging gameplay flow. It featured solid level design, a decent balance between challenge and exploration, and a visually appealing environment. With a few minor tweaks—such as smoother character controls, animations, and collision mechanics it could be a truly fun to play platformer experience. Overall, it was very close to being a fun and polished project, and with a bit of additional refinement, it could stand out even more. I haven’t taken CSSE, and I thought it was very interesting what they were learning in that class. I liked how beginner friendly the content they made was and how it made CS class seem like a fun time to develop a game. I left feedback on their site, describing these issues. I also told Veera, a group member of this project, that even though it may seem hard to implement these features, it is crucial in order to make the game look nice.

Reflection on the CSA Stock Platform

The CSA Stock Platform was very well-made for a high school project, offering real-time market updates and a sleek interface that felt strikingly professional. Its design showcased thoughtful user experience choices, making stock transactions and data interpretation straightforward. While the live data connection was a standout feature.Overall, the site they created looks very polished and it shows what exactly can be accomplished in CS class after lots of hard work.
