Update No.1

It has now been quite a few weeks in now and I have realised a few things about where this project is going. At first I delved into a lot of research about topics related to my own themes and I have come to realise that I fell into the trap of over researching everything and was getting slightly distracted with everything that was happening, now I that I realise that, I really need to push away from delving into pages and pages of information and trying to be 100% sure. I think in terms of effectiveness of research, it's a lot more important to actually practice things in order to truly understand something.



Most of the weeks that have gone by have been spent programming on Corona SDK, and now I realise that those weeks were well spent, but I really need to start prototyping and getting products out there rather then trying to reach a high level of programming from scratch. I has become quite a hard decision, but I feel that letting go of Corona is the best choice and to stick to using flash more and more, and trying to focus on creating a less polished and practical side of development.

At the start of this project, I had grand dreams of fitting as much as possible into this honours project and doing what no man had ever done before and I really dreamed big, now that the time is speeding by so fast, I realise that a lot of students ambitiously choose to do the same as I have and then soon realise that there is no time to develop in such a way and decide to cut back. So looking back at everything, I will refine my project and polish it as much as possible rather then rely on lofty dreams to carry me away on this endeavor.
