Further Notes:

Groups are learning their corresponding game development programs well. Little to no guidance has been necessary and many are making surprising headway.

Many are unsure as to how to tackle the final report until a prototype of their respective engines are developed.

Creating in game content seems to be the largest battle for most groups. Practice implementing and drawing in game sprites and world content will be needed.
