Learning Challenge: H.E.A.R.T Video

For extra credits, I decided to watch a video about The Secret Powers of Time by Philip Zimbardo. The video talks about the different ways people experience time and how our perceptions of time are a fundamental part of how we think and how we act.

I already knew how some people still think about the past, they would either think of the good or bad or maybe both. I still think of the past when I see something that reminds me when I was a kid and if it was a good thing I would mention it to my friends and family but if it's a bad memories I would keep it to myself and ask why did I do that or why didn't I do that.

What I didn't know about the "La Liga" which is a political movement to cut Italy in half to have North Italy and South Italy cut it just below Tuscany. The people in the North say they do all the work and the people in the South are like children, they are lazy and wants to have three meals. They said that the North is much more future oriented and the South is either passed oriented or present hedonistic.

I want to stop think of the negative past memories and move into the positive side of the present and the future. To motivate myself, I am going to say "I will do this and that" and take action to it instead of saying "yeah I am going to do that later". Using will do, I am hoping that would be something I would take action to doing something that I said I will do.

Positive and Negative past mind;

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...
