PROJECT DESCRIPTION
What we were doing in this project was that we had to create a video game using a programming app called Star Logo Nova. In this app I created a game in which you had to shoot a number of moving objects in order to win. But only certain colored objects would have to have been shot more than once in order to kill it, and other colored objects would only have to be shot once. You can also use the trees in the game to use to kill the moving objects. But if you shot at the trees the bullets would shoot in different directions, but with every 6th shot you take at the trees they would repeat the bullet projectile pattern again. In this project we were expected to learn multiple things such as programming with probability, and also probability in general.
OVERVIEW
During the duration of this project we had to use certain steps and protocols such as benchmarks class discussions ect. The benchmarks we had are meant for us to fully finnish the project in complete detail and for us to have complete understanding of the project.

REFLECTION
This project was really fun to do, especially for me personally because I find programing interesting. This project has taught me how to program with the app Starlogo Nova and it has taught me how to incorporate probability into the game that I have created. Some of my challenges that I have faced in this project was being able to incorporate the probability into the programing of my game. Another challenge that I faced in creating my game was coming up with a general idea on how the game should be formatted. Some of the successes that I had in this project was overcoming the challenges that I had to face such as thinking of a general idea, and incorporating probability into programing. One of the habits of a mathematician that I used is starting small and the other one that I used is working backwards.
