Time Strategies

Today we are talking about time management!

Welcome back!

I believe time management is very important and very easy to get into bad habits. Reading the articles I found "11 Ways Unsuccessful People Mismanage Their Time" very interesting. I think breaking down what you do every day of every weeks really opens your eyes. Doing it in the past I realised that I have so much more time to do anything I want if I start planning my time. 

I personally don't like using a study plan template. I use the Reminder app on my macbook and iphone. I find it easier to keep track of my due dates and due tasks. I usually write it in this order "module name - task - due date". What I really like about the reminder is that when you tick it off is gone forever. Theres no better feeling than ticking tasks off when they are completed and not think about it again. 

What I also done last year and will continue doing is setting YOUR OWN DUE DATES. For example, what I done last year is set up a due date for every big project 7-10 days before the actual due day. Your pressured with time a little more but it will pay off as you will have plenty of time to do anything you missed out and review your work multiple times. 

I also find giving yourself a break for a few minutes from time to time really good and refreshing. Sometimes working for too long reduces the quality of your work so a little break can really get you to focus properly and continue the high quality work. 

You just have to find what works for you! And how you find that out is by trial and error.

See you all soon

Thanks,

Denis.

Introduction To Someone

 Welcome back! So today I will introduce myself. Talk about things I like doing and things I don't. Well, I'm 20 years young, my nationality is Irish but I have Romanian parent. I never know what to answer when people ask me where I'm from as I have an accent, so I just say "I'm a foreign Irish person". I'm a big fan of sports (NOT FOOTBALL). My favourite sports at this moment are boxing, golf, surfing and the gym. I've done boxing for 5 years but stopped as I wanted to gain size and boxing had way too much cardio in it. So I joined the gym and I'm addicted to the gym. I train 6 days a week and my weekly gym plan is Push, Pull, Leg day and repeat. During my Push days I train chest, triceps and shoulders as to train those muscles you do exercises that involve a push motion. For Pull day I train my back, biceps and forearm as those muscles involve a pull motion to train them. And, leg day is just legs (LEAST FAVOURITE DAY IN THE GYM). The rest of the...

Game Vision Statement

  SMtraining SMtraining is a shooting game. In this game you train on different targets. There will be a timer for you to find and shoot those targets. SMtraining stands for "Single Mode Training". The genre of this game is FPS (First Person Shooter)/Action. Layout The game will be provided with a menu to start off with.

Prototype

 SMtraining Today I finally started creating my game. I have to say, this was way harder than it looks. I have made the basic layout and scale of my map. I found it extremely difficult to figure out the right scale for my game.  I had to play around with different scales constantly to find the right size. Finally, I found the right scale after a few hours of playing around. I have used two different assets to create my walls and floor. The links to the two assets will be found here: Yughues Free Concrete Material High Quality Bricks % Walls I have used the Standard Assests  to create my first person player for my game. I haven't added any guns yet. I will continue with my game next week.  Next week I will be adding in the gun for the player and I will add more items to my map. This is an image of what I done so far. Slowly but surly everything will be done and the game will be fully playable.  Thank you for stopping by.  See you next week,  Denis.
