Thoughts about Growth Mindset

I never heard of Carol Dweck or the Growth Mindset before and I learned that using the grade "Not Yet", you will understand that you're on a learning curve and loving challenges. There is two mindset, Fixed and Growth. A fixed mindset is scared to look dumb and is always wanting to looks smart. A growth mindset believes that intelligence can be developed through their effort, dedication, learning and mentorship. 

Showing effort is a good thing because we can learn new things while showing your ability if you are trying. Learning your mistakes if a good thing, it helps you know what to do and what not to do next time if you even come across it again. Praising their effort and not their intelligence will make them what new and difficult challenges. You should value the process and not the intelligence, if you value their intelligence it would put them into a fixed mindset and if you value their process it would put them into a growth mindset.

Praising their intelligence would make them not wanting to learn more but if its their effort or process they are most likely want to take on new challenges where they can learn from their mistake. Fixed mindset would lose their confident when doing a hard question while Growth mindset would still be confident even if the questions are hard for them. 

I am hoping I would learning and experience more about the growth mindset this semester. I personal hope that when I am doing my projects I would stay in a growth mindset and not a fixed mindset.

Unity Free Tutorials

For now on unity tutorials will be about what I am going to add in for my game. Watching tutorials video will help me create the game I want to make.  I already have a problem with my menu page. I follow everything from the video but it says I have an error. This is one of the reasons why I don't want to become a game designer.  I don't like coding, it just confusing and I don't really get what is going on but hopefully, over time I know the basic coding. The video below, I had a problem adding in the TextMesh Pro. TextMesh Pro is just making the text clearer. Since I am having a problem with add that in I decided to leave it out. Other than that, the tutorial helped. This was another tutorial video I watched.

Multimedia Project Presentation

Today we presented our game 'Tiny Farm' to our year and we got the chance to look at all the other game that was made for this module. The first game I saw was Rob's game 'Monster Flip'. His game was a puzzle game, it has three different levels. when you click on one of the puzzle pieces it will rotate. You have to click the piece until it is in the right position. After you finished the level you can go back to the menu page and click on the next level. I like that the game is for kids who have autism. I enjoy playing this game because it was simple and easy to play. The next game I saw was Darragh's game 'Alien Twine Game'. His game was a story adventure game. It tells a story and you get to choose which option you would like to pick. Each option will bring you to a certain route, it depends on what and which option you pick. I enjoy playing this game because it was fun and interesting to see where you will end up at the end of the story. Battle ...

Game GDD

The articles I read was  Design Considerations  by Greg Aleknevicus,  Prototying  and  Generating Ideas . The articles talks about what a publishers can do to improve a game that does involve spending money on that maybe be worth it. The articles basically tells us that it is important to show the designers where the game is heading. They are a rough example of what the designer is planning on doing with their game to look like and it's about getting the main idea of the game across. Prototypes are used to test something out, so in this case the prototype is to test out the gameplay. Testing the game will give the designer ideas on what needs to be added or take away from the game. When designing games we must come up with the idea. It can be a basic concept idea and not fully formed.  Designing a game, we need to know what rules or system, materials , narrative and market research and ask yourself these questions What game rules led to when test...
