Project Methodology

Since the game is derived from the starter kit, the project methodology being used is the “prototyping” because analysis, design and implementation phases can be performed concurrently and these three phases are performed repeatedly in a cycle until the system is completed (Dennis, Wixom, & Roth, 2006). Realise or not, the starter kit is also known as a prototype. Therefore, with this methodology, the prototype can be used and tested repeatedly to get the ideas and feedback. These ideas and feedback are analysed, redesigned and re-implemented, so that a better prototype with better features can be developed. This process may continue repeatedly until a good game is produced (refer Figure 3‑3). In other words, this methodology is used to ensure that the game can be developed quickly with some modification and customisation to the prototype due to dissertation period of time.
