Trip down the rabbit hole

So for my twitter task this week I choose task 10. This task meant I would have to create two lists.  One for my classmates and the other for game developments and multimedia.  So for the first one I just followed the steps on how to make a list but I have to say at first I was so confused as I was using the website version of twitter and I'm more used to the app version so even though they are very similar it was a little confusing. So after I figured it out I just started adding people I follow in the class  to my CDM list .  For the second List I went about finding some game development accounts by searching #gamedevelopment and similar hashtags and added accounts from that.  Game dev/ multimedia   I have never used Lists before and I have been using Twitter for years but I think going forward I will be using them.  Caption: Screen shot of my lists 

  This week I spent 3 hours working on my game alpha. This week was better than last week.  This week I started by looking at the player controls and fixing so that the player could choose to move forward when they wanted so I  went to my Player Controller script and had to change some code as the code I was using allowed for the player to move left and right but just made the player zoom off forward with no control on this. That wasn't what I wanted so I went looking for a tutorial and found this code which I used and modified to allow for the arrow keys up, left and right to be used.  Image Caption: My code to control the player  I then added in doors from the Tim's Horror Assets - The Bloody Door  asset set I add 7 doors one at the end of each room. However as I still need to add in a puzzle I have no way of actually opening the doors yet. I then realized when I started the game the doors flew away so I added a Rigidbody component to keep them in place....

So this week was all kinds of messy to put it lightly. This weeks unity tutorials consisted of completing Lesson 4 and Challenge 4.  So this week I began Lesson  4.4 and I had a feeling that it was gonna be full of issues because last week was and last week was the first 3 sections of this lesson. Anyway I began working and since I knew the code was broken I just followed along and if it was a case that I could check if the code was working like it should I did I did every step but the game wasn't running like it should but I knew the steps and did them the exact same as the video so I'm guessing it's a issue with the code.  I then moved on to the Challenge and honestly when I got the first one right I was actually happy cause I then knew it was the code in the previous lesson that was the issue and not me. I carried on throughout the Challenge and everything was working till it came time to make the enemy balls move and I spent about I'd say half an hour on this and no...

Looking Back Overall the reading assignments weren't my strong suit because of my dyslexia so they were taking way to long and causing a loot of stress for me for the 2 weeks that I did them. I choose after the second reading week to stop doing them as they were causing me too much stress also I am aiming for a B in this module so from working out the points I would need to achieve that grade and realized I didn't need them. From the two I did do I felt they did help to some degree they help me to get my head around some aspects that I was struggling to rap my head around like what actually constitutes what a game is. I don't have a favorite reading week task seeing as I only did two. I feel happy so far with my game Project and I do think that the two reading tasks helped with that. I think my biggest accomplishment for this class would be honestly just keeping up with the work and not falling behind especially with the current way of the world.  Image Link to original sou...

Feedback In Overall I would rate the quality of the comments that I have received from other students highly. Some comments have been very helpful in making me rethink my original thought process and help me make better decisions when it comes to my game idea or just practical elements like adding in music or sound effects. Others have been helpful in another way which was they kept me motivated to keep working and not just give up and worry about the problem another day. For these reasons I rate the quality of all the comments I have received highly as every comment in my opinion has contributed something positive to me. If I had to give a score for them it would be a 8/10. The reason it's not 10 out of 10 however is because some very few seem a bit rushed.  Feedback Out I would rate the quality of the comments and feedback that I am leaving for other students to be high. As I always take the time to read their blog post fully and address specific areas of their blogs and do my be...

  Empathy Challenge: I wish my teacher knew... I found this story to be very moving but also heart breaking I'm not sure how else to explain it. I think good ways to be compassionate and empathetic while respecting someone's privacy is to just let them know your there for them. Empathy isn't so easy I think honestly the best way to show your empathetic to someone is by just listening to them and making sure they can clearly see your facial expressions they tend to show empathy best. You could share how your feeling and some of your own struggles if appropriate to let them know they aren't alone I know this has helped me when people have done this with me. I have never participate din something like I wish my teacher knew. I do think it is a very good idea because I know sometimes I am struggling in areas and my work suffers a bit but I won't feel comfortable saying anything so I feel an anonymous type thing would help.  Link to Source Caption: The difference between...

 Share the Growth Mindset Concept with Someone  So I have just finished having a conversation with my friend Joe about the growth mindset. Joe ha never heard of the growth mindset idea. From taking a look at his school life he is not fully applying the growth mindset in them he is however applying aspects of the mindset in his school life.  During our discussion I explained what the Growth Mindset was and the key characteristics of what makes it up as i felt these were the most important aspects that can clearly explain the mindset clearly. We spoke about these in depth for quite a while and Joe agreed with most of the mindset. He has said he will go on to apply this to his school work in the future.  Link to source Caption: Keep Learning and Sharing Knowledge
