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.

Unity tutuorial 06

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. For this blog I will talk about my experience with the unity tutorial 6 . As you should already know I am doing the create with code side of unity this term and I really want improve my overall game coding skills. I am happy with progress so far but I still have a long way to go.                                                 Sound and effects The first tutorial was actually pretty easy but it was really enjoyable. I had tried to add in sound effects to my final game last semester but it failed badly . this tutorial really simplified the process of adding audio to a game and made it actually really easy to follow.  I really enjoyed the quiz at the end of this tutorial even though I got one answer wrong which annoyed me a bit .                         ...

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. For today's reading we had to continue from the research we were doing last week but thew difference was we had to a pply thematic analysis  to your resources and group common themes this week.   The first thing I did was read all the steps very carefully. I liked how it went into detail in discursive writing as that is something I am very passionate about, I used to have a blog years ago when I would be discursive and discuss manchester united games but I gave that up . I completely agree with the point about supporting your argument with evidence as if you do not how is anyone going to trust that what you said is credible  summaries to me are vital , I sometimes read the summary of an article first and that usually gives me a good outlook on if this article will be worth reading or not. today I went and found more resources online which I will add to my matrix.

Welcome back to my blog guys. I was kind of hoping there would be no bogs to do this term at all as they were pretty stressful last semester but I will get on with it and give it my best shot. This module actually sounds very interesting and I ma excited to keep researching and adding to my parts of the book. I spent way over 3 hours doing research for this. My two chosen topics are key components of game design and stages of game design. these are two topics that kind of excite me and make me want to dive into these blogs head first. the first thing I did was list all the who, what ,why ,where and when. these questions actually really helped me get a focus on what I was researching these are my answers who- I started my who by finding all about the people behind the games, I found out that first game was made in 1972 and it was all very interesting what- for the what part I went into detail about  what are the key elements in games . in my opinion a story and good visuals a...
