My activity layout way starts off developed with the continue exertion of taking pics
artifacts. This is the oner of the level of research and I need to examine a various kind of fields
which are associated with the rhetoric, philosophy, advertising, literature, song, mythology,
psychology, sociology, technology, history, economics and other else that may be mixed to build

These are includes of gambling video game, but a lot large: these are includes the
evaluate the mechanics as well as the way which are maintain with every different and hook up

incentivized stick out engagement.
Now a days, the education plays a significant role in the lives of the others and these are
also play crucial role in the protection of academic integrity. There are a large impact of the
academic integrity on the academics which are associated with plagiarism. The academic
integrity is maintained and made in the institution, I came with such new ideas to contribute in
protecting the academic integrity. I have analysed an idea to producing the game which are
associated with the reducing the academic integrity. After the evaluate the idea then I decided to
producing the game which can associated with the reducing the plagiarism. These are help to the
students to to know the aim of game and importance of the academic misconduct. At last, I
decided to produce the game which have great understanding for others and have as well as easy

There are various difficulties faced by me while producing the game for plagiarism.
These are mentioned below:

Reflect on the skills which are learned this academic years and those emphasized in producing
the game
When I was making the game, I came across to evaluate the skills which are I used and I
also get some opportunity to to develops some new skills in the producing the games. These
some skills are explained as:
Written skills: At time of producing the game, I have to frame several questions so the
written skills got sharpened in the process. I am also learn about the several tricks as well as
techniques for the writing the questions.
Power point knowledge: In the starting of the college days, I am make many power
point presentation but at the process of the game, I am also attain several more knowledges about
the power point which are assisting me in the presenting the new ideas in more efficient manner.
Organizational skills: During the producing the game, I have not knowledge for
organize my work as well as resources. I have to learn to for development of organizational skills
in the particular time which are assisting me to show my abilities and achieve future goals.
Design skills: The designing skills are plays a very important role in the producing game
and these skills are help me to for attractive game producing. I need to develop my designing
skill for the make game attractive so the students can enjoy as well as learn from it (Glendinning,
2022).
Imagination and creativity: The imagination as well as creative skills are assist in the
sketching the game and making them attractive for students. I am also need to develop my these
