This project was completed as a large percentage of my final A-level computer science grade. Every student had to choose a language or development framework and create a program for a client, whilst most students chose to
create video games for their siblings, I chose to create mind map software as my sister was soon to start her GCSEs and was struggling to revise. The software had to run on a £70 laptop and allow for files to be transfered between
copies of the software. I also aimed to create an intuitive and relatively unrestrictive system as my sister was an art student and had little experience with digital design software.
I independently created this program over the course of 24 hours spread over 2 months. I chose to write the sofware in Unity as I wanted to learn a new engine and knew that unitys use of scenegraphs
would make the process of development alot faster as I wouldn't have to calculate scales and positions of mind map components as unity would do this all in the background, allowing me to focus on the larger aspects of the project. <br><br>
As one of the software requirements was to run on very low end computers I also had to ensure I was creating scripts that would run as efficiently as possible when compiled, this regularly meant having to
