We Made It!

And just like that, CST 338 is over! This week was mostly about getting Clash of Claws across the finish line, and somehow it turned into one of my favorite parts of the semester. My group and I ended up staying up together until around 3 AM getting everything ready so we could turn in our final project by 8 AM Friday. It sounds miserable when I type it out, but it was honestly awesome. There was something really fun about all of us being there together, fixing last-minute issues, testing things, and watching the game finally come together. I’m really proud of how Clash of Claws turned out! We started off as our five separate project slices and in the end it became real little game with battles, cats, a marketplace, arenas, accounts, and a cute little town to bring you to them all. I also loved getting to work on more than just my Accounts slice, especially the UI, cat sprites, and overall look of the game. Seeing everything we had been working on separately finally connect was incredibly satisfying. I had such a good time with this class and especially with this team. Another eight weeks went by ridiculously fast, but I feel like I learned a lot about Java and software design. Thanks Dr. C!
