Provide summary about reflection on the skills which is used to produce the
game
There were certain skills which were required at the time of producing the game while I was creating game.
These skills can be problem-solving, creativity, management of team, research, attention and awareness, eye-
hand coordination skills. I have to research about the questions while I was designing the game which is related
to misconduct at academic level so that I can create the questions into proper manner. I have to think about
members of team coordination when I was producing the game and number of team members should be there
within the team which needs to be decided into proper manner. It has been observed that for successful
completion of the game the team management is required. When creating the game it is important to have
awareness regarding the scoring points so that I can properly give scores at the time of conduction of game. I
need attention towards the game for this reason so that game should not be designed into improper manner. It is
important to have proper coordination between eyes and hand so that dissimilar cards do not get mix into
improper manner. While I was designing the game, so its necessary to have this eye-hand coordination skills
