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.

Sounds and music will make the game more life like, and particles will make the player’s actions more dynamic and eye-popping. In this lesson, I learned how to add sound effects and particles when the character is running, jumping, etc. Unity Challenge 3 In the challenge part of this tutorial I had to: Make the balloon float upwards as the player holds spacebar Make the background repeat, to imitate the balloon’s movement To make 'Bombs and Money' tok...
