I made the basic controls of going left and right and jumping, I have set a decent amount of speed for the block so that it doesn’t move to slow or fast. When I start to develop the game more, I hope to implement some other types of movement like climbing and crunching.   From making this prototype I have learned more skills on how to use unity to make the 2d platformer game. And fro...

 Overall, I would rate the quality of comments and feedback that I’m receiving from my classmates 7 out of 10. From weekly tasks to projects post I have received useful feedback. Image source: Dreamstime In terms of my game post’s, I think the quality of the comments and feedback post from my classmates were very helpful. For example, their feedback gave me a good insight of what ideas I show follow through on, what I was doing right and what other things I could possibly implement in my game.   I think I do get good ideas for my own writing when I analyze other people’s writing. Looking at other people writing helps me think of new approaches I could take, helps me with word phrasing and using better words to make my writings easier to read.     I think the quality of my comments and feedback to my classmates was decent. I didn’t really give a hard quote on my classmate’s game ideas, but I did leave some comments on things they could put in their games. So...

 For this week’s Wikipedia trail, I’m choosing to do my topic on Learning. I wrote a blog on it and thought it would be good topic do a Wikipedia  trail on.  Image source: Vantedge                                                                                                                    The first article I chose was   Learning , I chose it because it talks more about learning in depth. It talks about the different types of learning, and how learning can happen  in different scenarios  and in different environments. The second article I chose was Learning Sciences , I chose it because it talks about the fur...

                                                                                     My Image I had some technical difficulties with my laptop, so I couldn’t really work on my game. The character movement controls, and obstacle movement still work. The playing field won’t be the same for the entire game, it will change after you pass certain levels, the scenery will also change.     Since I couldn’t work on the game I watched some Unity tutorials again and some YouTube videos  for elements and visuals that I want to put in my game like a splash screen, HUD, and a main menu. My plan for this week is to implement these in my game and to  work on the plane layout and visuals.

In this blog I'm going to talk about a video I watched called " What would happen if you didn't sleep". The video talks about sleep depravation in depth and gives some interesting facts. The video is worth watching and has some valuable information worth taking.                                                                                   Image Source: VeryWellHealth                                                                                                ...

In this blog I'm going to talk about a video I watched called "Learning with Passion and Enthusiasm". The video talks about the brain chemicals that are released when we do certain activities. It also gives examples and scenarios of how we can learn with more Passion and Enthusiasm . Image Source: Sprouts Link to video: Passion and Enthusiasm  One thing that the video confirmed for me, that I already knew was that children can learn multiple languages and skills because they are excited to learn new things. One new thing that I learned that I did not know before was that when we learn things in a new and exciting way, the chemicals released in our brain outlive the joy of drugs and shopping. One new thing that I'm curious to explore is how to learn how to keep my interest when trying to learn new things so I can enjoy it more. I plan on doing this by looking at more videos like this on the internet and taking its advice. Overall I thought information in the video ...

  Overall, I think the reading and writing assignments worked out well for me. In terms of the reading posts, I have gotten better at writing and developed an interest into reading articles. In terms of the gaming post’s, I have learned the process of how to make a  game. By reading the articles and materials related to making a game I have achieved a good guide of what to do and what not to do.     Out of all the readings I have done so far, I think my favorite reading would be “How to Write a Game Design Document". It’s my favorite reading because it helped me to understand what type of game I wanted to create and gave me ideas of what other elements I could put in the game. It helped me keep my vision of the game and not stray off the key elements and mechanics of the game.   I think my reading notes are helping me each week with my game. As they help me focus on what is important when making the game. And help to know what to things I should implemen...
