Growth and Mindset

This is another extra credit blog as I missed a few blogs over the past few weeks. 

For this blog I decided to read an article and to my amazement it was actually a topic that I was 
thinking of looking up anyway. The blog is called"How to Spark Creativity When You’re in a Rut" and it is really useful as I am currently really 
stuck on my final game for this module. One because my pc is kinda old and very slow (yes I should
buy a new one but what student has 700 -1000 euro lying around to get a new one and two because 
I am just bad at using unity but that is for another day.

from the offset I really liked how this article was written. The first point that I really agreed with was
 when it said you should find people to look at your work and review it. In my opinion this is the only 
way for your work to improve as most people are biased towards their own work and cant see the 
flaws in it like others will straight away.  the five questions they got you to ask yourself really hit 
home for me and were very thought provoking. for instance I always find myself saying that wont
work even before I have tried to use it and that is something that I really need to change in my
work for the future and I am hopeful I will change it after reading this article.
I love the point about meeting new people and bouncing ideas off of each other that is something
I definitely do not  enough of.

From reading this blog I will try become more confident and show my work to others without 
worrying hat they will say,. I will also try things out more and not just say that wont work straight
away. I really enjoyed reading this article and hope to read similar ones in the near future.

Introduction Post

My name is Aaron Comiskey and I am 20 years old. I currently study CDM in Blanchardstown and I love the course. I live in Kilmessan, Meath with my family but I hope to move out soon when I get enough money together. I want to be a video editor when I am finished college and maybe work for companies such as BBC or RTE(you have to aim big or you will fail). During this term I want to get better at all things to do with video but I also want to give the other stuff like web design and game development a chance as I may end up loving them and actually want to go into that area after college. I have many hobbies. I am big into the gym and love lifting weights , it makes you feel better and look better so why not do it. I love football and I am a huge Manchester United fan even though we are rubbish now. I play tennis the odd time when I am not too busy also. I post fitness content online not to show off my body or muscles (even though I am proud of the results) More so that I can keep u...

prototype

Over the past week I have had so many assignments to submit and with the blogs we have to do each week I have not have had much time to work on my game in unity. I have been watching the two tutorials that I linked in my previous game idea and I have drawn up a few prototypes on sheets of paper. By next week I hope to have a good bit of my game complete to show you. I am happy with the vision for my game. My level is not going to be very complicates as I find if I add too much into it that it will just become confusing and I will not be able to complete it. I want my final game to hopefully be fully complete . Everything in my game is going good except for the fact that unity is limited and its hard to customise weapons, characters and other things as you are very limited by the options it has on it. that is a screenshot from the tutorial I am using . for my game there is a lot I still have to consider. I have to try add in sound efects but not ones that sound really bad and...

growth and mindset

for this post I will attempt the extra credit growth and mindset task. I read  "this article " . this article was very interesting altogether. i completely agree that being graded in school can be very emotional on certain people and can hurt a persons confidence. I agree that not everyone who gets top marks can be unhappy with them as they do not understand why it was so easy and there is usually a huge divide between the top and bottom people in the class from their grades. grades can be a good way to control students like it says in this article but overall they just cause arguments between students and make people who just cant get the top marks ever even if they studied for days feel really bad about themselves. I like the teacher who set up meetings with them this should benefit the students and make them feel more comfortable in the class. overall this extra credit article was very interesting to read and has changed my view on all things to do with gradings in schoo...
