Growth Mindset!

Growth Mindset!

This week I read an article about Fixed vs Growth Mindset and found it very interesting especially the experiment Carol Dweck had carried out. 

Which has taught existing hypotheses about why appearance is more critical than praise in educating kids 
to maintain a positive connection with 
accomplishment, examines how these mindsets are born, very early in life that 
Dweck and her peers gave four year olds an option: to either remake a jigsaw 
puzzle or attempt a 
tougher one. 
These young 
children too conformed to the 
features of one of the 
two.

Introduction!

  My Introduction! Hello Everyone! I will be introducing myself in this  post so you can get to know me. My name is Lougein, I am 20 years old, I have one brother and one sister whom I both love very much, they're both younger than me. I work PART TIME in BoyleSports (the reason part time is in caps is because I am on an 8 hour contract but am doing 40+ hours every week 😔, me at work>>>>) So where do I start, lockdown? Before lockdown I was working 3/4 days a week whilst in college full time, I remember reading the news with my manager at work that the country was going into lockdown and as selfish as I may sound I was kind of glad, I needed a break from working all the time, since I never had a day off during the year, if I wasn't working then I was in college, balancing both work and college was really hard, but I did it! I couldn't be more proud of myself. So anyway, at the start of lockdown, everything felt so different, I went from being out every single d

Game Design!

Game Design! I never really understood how Games were made or how much work goes into Progress of Game Design making them, since I don’t really play games but after reading the articles I was assigned to read, I realised there was so much more to Game Design than what I thought there was. I gained an appreciation for it like I do for Art History, since the making of a game is an art in a way. Our Professor, Shaun,  provided us with many articles regarding Games/ Game Design. The first of them being What is a game? (by Ian Schreiber)   As I started to read and analyse the article, I quickly understood that it wasn’t as easy as just googling the definition of a ‘game’, which according to Google the definition of a game is ‘ an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun’, which made me laugh because I spent so long reading different articles on the definition of a game to read what Google’s literal definition was .  Although there is a definition for a game given by Ian, there are

Prototype!

Prototype! This week I’ve been working on the prototype for my game, I was keeping an open mind before starting this despite my lack of interest and enthusiasm for the game. When starting the prototype I had so much trouble with Unity, it was so frustrating, I kept restarting my laptop, it would work for a little while then shut down again. It got to a point where everything was deleted so that was really annoying but If I had more work done on my prototype I would have been angrier about that. For my prototype for this week, I worked on the homepage of the game. Prototypes
