What is the purpose of this project?
Well at first glance you would think this project's main point was to build a game, and in some ways it was but I know that it was so much more than that. The game doesn't really matter, it is the experience of being a software developer going through all of the steps and documentation, the debugging, the frustration and stress. That was the actual purpose of this project. Now obviously this did involve making some form of software I chose to make a game.
what i made and why:
I am not sure why but lately I have seriously been into space. It just amazes me how awesome it is. Therefore I made a game about space. A first-person fly your own spaceship kind of space game.

Reflection
So after completing this project and looking back on the way I did all of it some changes that could have occurred became apparent. For example there were a few times when I had to do all of the math required to find the distance between two game objects, then when I had finished, it turned out that there was a much more simple way to which was one word rather than 3 lines of math. This would have made the process go more quickly and now that I know how to do that, I can bring that knowledge to games I make in the future. What went well for me through the process was my progression through the gates as well as my basic understanding of what I wanted to make. Next time should be a lot easier because many things in code is about knowing how to do it rather than making things up, and I learned a lot that will help me in the future.
