My contributions

• Implemented many rooms, pussles and object descriptions

Experiences

First time ever working in a game project together with others and the first time interacting with level designers and artists.

We got into using the TGA specific SCRUM-inspired development methodology called TRUM.

Many of my fellow programmers greatly dislike Alan as a language, however I found that experimentation made it much easier to learn.
