Wikipedia trail

For this post I decided to do the extra credit Wikipedia trail I found this to be very interesting to do and It did not feel like i was doing work at all .  to start off this task I searched up game design on Wikipedia as it is something we are focusing heavily on in this module. I read through this carefully and got some great knowledge from it like how the new game design media industry has grown over the last decade. this was great to start with as it really helped me learn more about the things I should be learning on this module. I then clicked on find a random article and  this article came up .    this article was very interesting. it was about an author  Casasses who published his first two books of poetry,  La bragueta encallada  (1972) and  La cosa aquella  (1982), in alternative editions. In 1991. Casasses published a second edition of  La cosa aquella .  I then continued mt trail and  found this . this article was very weird but I kind of enjoyed it. It was all abou

growth and mindset

for today's blog post I decided to do the extra credit growth and mindset challenge. I then watched a video on sleep deprivation and it has really opened up my eyes to a lot of things. I usually get at least 6 hours of sleep each night as I need to sleep so I can be focused in college and in the gym. I have hated that sleep maws a thing as we are only alive 90 years max and over half of that is just wasted asleep. you could really accomplish so much more in your life if you did not need to sleep but you do and I cant change that. I loved the animations in this video and the way it opened by explaining what happened to one guy who stayed awake for 3 days straight.  most adults need 7-8 hours sleep per night and I can guarantee most do not get that at all or even near that. it stated 66% of american adolescents are sleep deprived. that is a pretty scary number if you think about it fully. I never knew strokes were linked to not sleeping. that is kind of scary and made me want to s

Tech Task first tweet

So this week I am again focusing on all the extra credit work as I am super busy. for this weeks tech tasks I took my time to explore all the options and decided to do was the twitter comment. I have never used twitter in my entire life before. I am more a Facebook and Instagram person but from using it today I will definitely use it more. I like the way it uses hashtags and you can easily promote an event or company by using their hashtag. I had to set up a new account to do this as I never used twitter before but it was a very fun experience. I got to follow loads of famous people like Cristiano Ronaldo and I got to describe myself. I did not have a profile picture but I may get one very soon. Overall I like twitter but I must say that Instagram is much better and easier to use. twitter was pretty straight forward to use so I did not have any extra hassle with this tech task this week which was a relief for once. overall I really liked twitter and will continue to use it in the fu

Week 9 Progress

So for the next part of review week we have to review all of are work so far in this term and say what we could do better. I am happy that I get to look back on all of my old work that I did this semester as looking back on old work really makes you see how far you have come or how far you not come . each case will help you improve inn whatever it is you are doing. Overall I am very happy with my progress in this module and I have only missed liked 3 blogs. I tend ti get a lot of the blogs done on Monday as that is are day of from college and that sis going very well. At the moment I am struggling a lot on my final game but I will keep doing all the extra credit to make up for it and this should get me the pass that I need to go forward with this course.  I want to start putting more effort into unity from now on and actually giving each tutorial a fair chance because a lot of the time I have just given up half way and tried to write about things that I really had no clue about. I st

Review Week Comments and Feedback

as Part of review week in this module we have to review all parts of this module and give honest feedback on how it is going. For this blog I will be talking about the blog comments and my overall experience with them One thing I must say from the start is that I like to get my blogs done on Friday or Saturday. For a lot of the blog comments you are asked to comment on peoples project work but most people don't do their project work till Sunday which is quite annoying but I guess that is something that can't really be fixed. I really enjoy the blog comments as it is good to interact with people on this course that you would generally never speak to at all. I am a big believer of feedback and I think it is essential to make better work in the future as people can be very biased to their own work and can't see the problems in it like other can straight away. I don't really like the way the most comments I get are on my introduction. I would prefer to Gert more comment

Week 9 Reading and Writing

So for todays reading we did not have to actually do a reading which I was quite happy about to be honest. we were asked to give an honest recap of how you are finding all of the readings in this module. This week is called review weeks and I am very pleased we have this as it gives me a break from the normal boring blogs and lets me give me thoughts and vent some frustrations I have with module. For the most part I am finding the readings very interesting and unique but there is some readings and blogs that I made where the reading was just way too confusing and didn't really have anything that could help my final game in it.  I am very happy with how my reading and writing skills have developed during this module . I am now more confident in my writing ability and I am now starting to use more fancier words and better grammar with every blog that I publish. Even when I go to read the news or something like that online now I find my self studying it more and really trying to und
