This tutorial was surely far more challenging than Jimmy Vegas' tutorials. I apparently made mistakes in the code, even when I copied it word for word, after my third attempt didn't work. As I constantly got an error on "const", I decided to download the code that came together with the unitypackage provided with the tutorial. The difference in my code and the one provided is visible, but I never through indention would make a difference to the code. Screenshot of the code - left is downloaded from the website, right written by me. Overall, I did manage to make the clock, even though I struggled with the code, and didn't quite get it right. I will try to work a little bit more on the actual understanding what each line means - I really dislike copying material without knowing what each part does.

Each of the words of the MDA framework are described as: Mechanics - Rules of the game. Dynamics - The play of the game after the rules had been implemented.
