Fixed Mindset article 


From reading this article, what I learned is that there is two types of mindsets that you can adopt. One is called a fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is when you believe that you just rely on the ability that you have and that the ability or even intelligence can not be improved upon. In the article it says that this mindset is usually adopted when you are younger, by constant praise and no failure to bounce back to learn from. This in turn leads to that specific person thinking that they are great at whatever they do and just bad at whatever they do and in return this person will think that no matter how much they improve they will be the same.


The other mindset opposite to the one mentioned beforehand. This mindset is when you believe that you can improve on anything if you give it the time and focus. This can be truly anything from intelligence to skills in any area. This mindset also encourages you to make mistakes and learn from them and push you out of comfort zone. This mindset is said to be good to adopt in a workplace, as it encourages staff to push other staff to learn from their mistakes.


Thoughts:

In my opinion I think that this mindset is the wrong mindset to have because. If you just believe that you can never improve as a person you will stay where you have when you started, although I do think that everyone has some level of ability starting off I do not think that is the end all and be all. I also found it interesting how doctors have to face the fact the fact that they will make mistakes and some of them big mistakes, but they will have to grow from it so they don't make the same mistake over and over again. If doctors can take this advice, I think we all should. Sometimes I think sometimes the fixed mindset isn't intentional but it just creeps into your mind when you want to do or start something new. That being said you have to catch yourself when it comes to mind.

Why rejection hurts so much?






This article is about rejection and how we as people react to rejection and what is the best to deal with rejection. The article starts with how rejection these days can be broadcasted for more eyes to view as we are in the age of social media is prominent. In the article it talks about rejection triggers the same reaction in the brain as physical would proven by the scientist. Our brain is wired this way due to our ancestors not wanting to be left out of the tribe as hunter gathers and this has trickled down to this generation of people and the most damage rejection causes is self inflicting.



Thoughts:


I think that everyone will experience rejection in life and I feel the best way is not to take it personal, but take it as a way to learn from. You might get rejection now but in time and some review and feedback you can improve and maybe the next time you can improve and hopefully not get rejected later on in life. One thing I might try if I get rejected is take a list of the flaws that went wrong with in that specific thing I got rejected on and see if I can improve, but ill also take a list of all the things that makes me valuable so I wont get too upset with the rejection.

Introduction Future Gamestop worker/developer

                                                                                         Intro duction I feel my best module was last year was Web Development in terms of grades and how much I learned, however the module I say had the most fun in was Digital Media, especially in the lectures when we had small group tasks. It was fun to participate in them even though I always felt embarrassed to talk present the work we created in them. I think that my achievement was getting through the modules and passing them and being able to adapt myself to the virtual world when Covid 19 came. Now being in year 2 I think the I should aim higher in terms of grades and quality of work because I know more now. My goal for this module is to see if I can learn the skills well enough to make a game, and if I can achieve that would me satisfied, because it would be something I have never did before and that would be a win for me.

Prototype

  Hi Guys This is my prototype to Gario the game, what I found difficult creating the game was trying to make the game 3D. Because basing the game on other games that are 2D, I suppose this was always going to be a slight problem. That being said I looked into it a bit more into it If I could make a 2D game into a 3D game. The research came out that you could do it. I even found one YouTube video saying that you could do that and was giving instructions on how you could do it.  The first thing I did was opened up unity and then set the name of this particular project to prototype. I also changed the dimension of the game to 2D, after that I then proceeded to change the background in unity to black . The next thing I did was I made a file called Scripts so it would be easier to save later stuff what I needed to put in. In that I made C # Script, which I called PlayerController. Before working in the script I decided to make a player. I just right clicked and then clicked into into 2D th

Game Research

     The game idea I am going to base my research on is agar, which is a game I want to base my game on. I think if I can pull it off, It would be such a fun game to create and make in the end. The game will be addictive, However if I find that is too hard to make I can still go back to the brainstorms I had and use One of them. Game Mechanics: The mechanics of my game should allow you to grow bigger every time that you eat something or get close to something that you touch and when you get touched or get eaten, you will start again from the beginning as a small object. This will in turn affect your score too. The bigger you get will affect how big your score as well. The bigger you get the more points you will get as you grow bigger and bigger. I would like my game to place in empty land. There wont have to be any obstacles as such but the actual items that are playing the game. I would like the game to be crowded so it makes it hard, as once the thing gets bigger it gets harder to pl
