REFLECTION
Making a game is a field that I have never touched before. I knew before I touched it that I needed some related programming knowledge. My own knowledge of programming in this area is still very shallow, so I will be worried. But I think that if I can finish this homework, it will be a great breakthrough and a great satisfaction for me, which makes me both afraid and want to try this subject.
