Challenge: Exploring the Growth Mindset

I decided to watch another video based on Growth Mindset. I chose to watch a video called "The surprising habits of Original Thinkers" by Adam Grant on TED.

"Original Thinkers" video on YouTube

When I was watching the video, I already knew what a procrastinators is like since I watched a TED talk about the mind of a procrastinator. Since I knew about procrastinators, I just thought that there was and wasn't one. I didn't think there would be an original thinker. A person who is between pre-crastinators and procrastinators.

I am curious of what it is like to be an original thinker and I would like to use this blog or one of the assignments I am going to do for this semester to teach or learn how to be an original thinker. In order to act on it, I am going to write as much as I can on my assignments ideas and if I have any doubts of failing and being embarrassed. Even if I feel like the idea is stupid or not going to work, I am going to test it out until I am confident about it and I'm not just finishing it because I have something for the assignment.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT ME My name is Nhu Thai. I am really shy but after you know me you will probably regret knowing me. I love meme, I mean who doesn't? I am the oldest and I have 2 annoying brothers and one told me to write that he's a good singer...he thinks he's Beyonce... The best module I took from last year was probably web development because I like doing the coding but I also hate it at the same time. I understood it because I took down notes and ask the lecturer and classmates for help. When I saw that web development was one of my highest grade I was shocked and happy. Career wise... I don’t really know exactly what I want to do. I would like to go and do something that involves media but I still don’t know if I want it for the long term yet. If I am doing it for the long term, I would like to go to graphic design or photography or website design. Over the summer, I went to Disneyland Paris again. I only went because my little cousins wanted to go and I thought i...

Game Vision Statement

Zoobe is what the name for the puzzle and adventure game I want to design. It is a game where you are an animal, in a shape of a box and trying to escape from the zoo without getting caught but the humans or traps. The background story for this game is that one night the animal decided that they want to get away and out of the zoo and be free. Some nights after, one of the animal's gate was left unlock and left their "home" behind them. Since all the animals wanted to be free and actually go back to the jungle. The animal that escape went to get the key for the gate, with the help of other animals trying to get the zoo keeper drop the key to all the gates. To play this game, you are the animal who's gate was left unlock and have to get the key to open the other gates for the animal. The animal can't move by itself so you have to move them yourself without getting caught by the zookeeper or traps. To free the animal you either have to move them to the box that...

Game Design

After reading about what is a game and what we should look in when making a game, I found three different website based on the same ideas but different information. 5 Game Elements That Create Effective Learning Games by Arunima Majumdar Game Design, An Introduction by Jill Duffy What are game-elements? (PacMan as reference) by Ellis The first article I read gave me some game mechanics that I should considered when making a game for our assignment. Arunima talks about: Conflict ; have some sort of challenges for the player to overcome. It could be a physical obstacle, combat with another player or a puzzle that has to be solved. A sense of collaborative learning can be built in with a challenge that all the player must work together to overcome. Strategy and chance; with strategy-based games they put a lot of control into the players' decisions they can make that affect game okay or their odds of achieving the goal. Also, it based on the chance the play...
