These purposes include, but are not limited to: • Graphic rendering • Collision detection • AI • Sound • Physics Remember that you will need to comprehensively explain what these subcategories are in order to achieve Distinction grade

Use the unit spec as a checklist to ensure you have covered everything that you need to.
