Give summary about reflection on the skills which has been used to create
the game
While I was creating the game there were particular skills that were required at the time of creating game. These
skills basically includes problem-solving, creativity, management of team, research, awareness and attention,
hand-eyes coordination skills. While I was designing the game I have to research about the questions that is
related to academic misconduct so that I can properly create questions into proper manner. When I was creating
game I have to think about team members coordination when I was creating the game and how many members
should be there within a team which needs to be decided into appropriate manner. Only management of team can
lead towards successful completion of game and it has been observed in this spectrum. When creating a game I
have to be aware about proper scoring points so that I can properly assign scores at the time of game conducting.
For this purpose that game should not be designed into inappropriate manner, its important that I need attention
towards the game. I have realized that there should be proper coordination between eyes and hands while I was
creating the game so that dissimilar colored cards does not get mix into inappropriate manner. That's why its
important that to have hand-eye coordination skills while I was creating the game. Apart from these skills, there
are also certain skills which are required for designing the game. An individual should be strong enough in terms
of analytical mind so its important that to have analytical skills so that it act as support system in terms of
designing the game. It is important to have leadership skills and communication skills so that game should be
lead into effective and result-oriented manner as well.
