Fortnite App Design

FORTNITE APP  DESIGN



Intro 

Kia Ora my name is Kodie, For the past term myself, Zavier and Olivia have been working on a Fortnite app with landing spots and load outs for beginners as well as the 'dps' for all the weapons/items that you can find across the map.
We started by practising to code then we started gathering information and images, Then Olivia started coding the app. 



 Reflection

It's been fun working on an app with my group. We worked well together we all had our set roles that we had to do Zavier was to get all the images for the app Mine was to get the dps/all items/Weapons that you can get get and Olivia's job was to do the coding.
At first the coding was quite difficult but once i got the tutorial done it was a lot easier plus with the support my group gave me it helped me a lot in the process. 

Digital Learning Objective

Our objective was to make an app or game, my group and I decided to make an app with tips on the hit game Fortnite! With help from Mr Carter we got started. 
The app we were creating was done on app Lab
