Link to your games from the front page of your website, so people can view the information quickly and easily.  Design Tip Try and visualise the whole project. Even if you are not doing the art or making the music, or even the coding - you must plan and explain to the other members of your project/team exactly how you want the game to look, sound, play out and run.  Developer Tip Always keep your code neat and tidy - otherwise if you need to go back over it at a later date you may get confused as to what piece of code does what.  Beta Testing Tip Keep a notepad and pen on you at all times, and remember as a default to check for; - Spelling errors - Grammar errors - Glitches in animation - Missing animations - Glitches in graphics - Puzzle faults The developer may ask you to keep an eye out for other things too. Make sure you document all the bugs you find clearly and send them back to the developer. Remember to let them know of parts you enjoyed but also parts you felt were lacking.
