Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

identify, evaluate, and use a physics library.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain basic programming techniques needed to develop game objects

describe the integration issues of common physics concepts in games design

summarise the current game-play hardware and software products, including any technical constraints they impose on design and development

summarise the human resources required in the process of creating a game, and respective skills

explain the techniques for applying concept development and visualisation skills.
