Growth Mindset

 From watching the videos of Carol Dweck for this weeks tasks. I can really agree with her point of view. I strongly believe that anyone can learn anything they want and the only thing in our way from learning new things or improving at something is ourselves.

I don't like when people give up when something is "too hard" I really think that when you struggle is when you learn the most as you are forced to get out of your comfort zone and work around your weaknesses. 

I also find people that are growth minded happier as they don't look at things as a disadvantage but more so a chance to learn more and become a better version of themselves. I think this picture I found on Pinterest explains that very well.


I also really liked the idea of using "Yet". As in "I'm not good at maths yet" rather than saying "oh I'm just sh*t at maths". I just feel like some people give up on their capability too quick when all it takes is to look at challenges or errors or fails as a good thing. As in when you mess up you look at it as "at least I know not to do that again" rather than just giving up and saying you can't do it.

Reading 09

Hi all. This week we have focused on fixing our papers. This was challenging as I find it hard write academically. I am glad to get the chance to improve my writing. For this week I have rewritten my introduction and conclusion as I believe they weren't good. I also fixed up my paragraphs where I found mistakes.  I am pretty happy with how it is at this moment and I am happy to continue on with my weekly tasks after Easter break. I hope everyone will enjoy this break as we all need it. Thank you, Denis.

Technology

 Good evening. I'm back! This week I found out about some tools we will be using throughout  this semester. So far I can say I'm really excited to create graphics using canvas, cheezburger and so on. I can't wait to figure out which of those will work the best with my workflow.  I think trying out Wordpress will be good. I like the idea of trying out different tools as you never know which works best for you until you try it out!  There's a picture of the first dinner I had in Crete. I hope your craving pizza now! Because I am... See you next week! Or later on today.. Bye, Denis.

Unity Tutorial 06

 Today I have done another tutorial and a challenge.  Screenshot of the Unity Tutorial Doing this tutorial and challenge I have learn to add sound effects and music in the game. I found that really cool as the game did feel slightly dull without it. This tutorial was fairly easy so I wasn't struggling. The challenge on the other hand was what I expected. A challenge that was nerve wrecking at times.  I never thought of adding music to my game and now that I have done it. It really made me think of the different genres I could be choosing from. I need to start looking at gun shot sound effects too. The challenge game was pretty fun too. It reminds me of flappy bird in some way.  Overall I'm really glad I got to do this tutorial as it made me realise of one part of creating my game I have not thought of until this point. Thank you all again for stopping by.  See you later, Denis.
