Xavier's Capstone
Reflect
So this was long, to say the least. The earlier steps were certainly much easier than the later ones specifically when it comes to the implementation which gave me a variety of issues but when it comes down to it I feel I accomplished what I set out to do. I still have some issues with it of course especially when it comes to flexibility and presentation.
Improve
As I said there are some issues I have with the final product and there is if I was given more time both could easily be solved. The presentation is self-explanatory as if I had more time I would have more time to make it look better but flexibility requires a more specific though still rather simple solution. The solution would involve having more results for each path you can talk through the program or even having more subjects and styles to choose from. I would have done this, to begin with, but due to the issues with the original medium of the solution being scrapped, I was on a time crunch.

Content/Skills
There were some major things I need to know for the final product starting with and understanding of what mediums correlate with different styles of learning which is something I had to learn all way back when I made my low tech prototype. After the Alexa thing failed it came down to my skill in Clickteam Fusion 2.5 to make up for lost time. CF2.5 boils down to understanding how to make things happen based on the actions of the user. As an example results are determined to two factors 'Subject' and 'Style', the program is designed to store the 'Subject' you choose as a number in what's essentially a save file that would determine the results you get when you choose a 'Style'.
What have I learned?
As I went through the entirety of this process I learned a lot about students but as I began to reach the end the learning kind of halted as iI focus less on collecting information and more on putting a program together for most this would be a learning curb to making a program but I had years of experience with CF2.5 made it so it was rather simple with the exception of the one thing. I referred to a "save file" earlier, this is a very complex feature and despite I have experimented with it before this the first time I have used it to this extent which required a counter to accomplish.
