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.

Doing Reading 05

This week we have broken down my research articles into 6 themes. We had to break down our writings into sentences to shorten it down to find the themes. I have done that before doing my own writings. I found shortened the articles into sentences to help me develop them in my own words. Using those notes I have and rereading my writings I came down to the following themes. The link between Game Progression and Engagement Automating Game Progression Difficulty balance within levels What is Game Progression (Key Elements) Implementing education (eg. chemistry) within game progression The difference between Progression and Emergence Those themes and note will help me write my own bibliography.  I will see you all new week. Thank you, Denis.

Unity Tutorial 06

 Hi all, Today we have done our second last tutorial of Unity! This week we have added in a health bar for our player and a new character. The bar looks great and I was happy to learn how to do one. I am glad I got to do one and see how it works. Screenshot of my own work. The bar was very simple to do compare to what I thought it would be like. I am very happy to be one week away from finishing the Unity tutorials.  I struggle with the animations to get it right so that took me quite a while to do for my new character but I managed it at the end! This is the first game that really feels like a game from all Unity tutorials we have completed so far.  I will see you all next week when I get to finish up this game! Thank you, Denis.
