Growth Mindset

 Growth Mindset.

I have always been told since a young age that "if you put your mind to it, you can do it". Still to this day I go by that. It isn't saying you will complete whatever you are trying to achieve or overcome instantly, it is saying  you CAN do it if you believe in yourself to expand your mind and climb the ladder even if you have to take a break or need to go down a step once in a while. 

I would say I have the growth mindset when it comes to academic work as I am always learning and can only improve as I go on. When it comes to personal goals or ideas for my future, that is where the "fixed mindset" can creep up. For example, travelling the world would be a dream of mine in the future but I get the haunted taught of "your entire life is here, in Ireland". When in reality my life can be anywhere and I can only grow from the experience and even if I ever wanted to come back to Ireland, I have gained the knowledge of exploring and growing as a person. I would never want a taught to hold me back from climbing up that ladder. 

After watching the three videos of Carol Dwecks speaking on this topic she has made me realise that growth of the mind doesn't just happen overnight, all you need is your positive mindset, mentors helping you along the way, reminding you you CAN do this. 

I would one hundred percent be up for learning more about how to expand and grow my mindset in this module as it isn't just for one module, it isn't even just for my course but for my life going forward.

  Alpha For this week, I wanted to add a few more bits to my game, the first thing I did this week, was I wanted to have a moving cube that went up and down as part of my course but I found the tutorials I came across very very long and I didn't want to spend that much time to only add one moving step into my game... I may find a few 'roll a ball' games on the app store to get inspiration for other obstacles and stuff to add instead. The next thing I did in my game was that I added background music. I am debating whether or not to add the music I selected to a menu screen instead of play mode as it could cause some people  to get distracted. I may replace or swap it out with a very quiet nature sound, like of the wind or something... screenshot I have since got rid of this layout above. But will keep to the theme of having a water feature etc. screenshot screenshot I think I'm meeting my weekly topics when it comes to my game and hope to start finishing the entire thing

Looking forward to being on campus for the years to follow.😁💜 Did I travel over the break? - Yes. I went to Croatia to a music festival called "Dimensions" it was amazing.

Game Brainstorm

 Four Possible Game Ideas. Game 1: For my first idea for a game it would be a ball balancing game. You have a starting point and have to make your way to the end without falling off. Each level would get more difficult when you level up. I think this idea would be not only really fun to make but it is simple yet exciting. I would make it visually pleasing the eye and have coolest details included as it could be a simple game to possible build so I could have more time in designing the objects and what the player sees on screen. It is the sort of game that has you biting your lip as it makes you want to complete each level to get further. I think this would be a game for all ages that would be effective. I have taken inspiration for this idea from the simple board game I use to play as a child. The game at a closer look can be found here: Click me .   It would be 3D style path and you can choose your ball of choice, or even unlock more types of balls (if I can make possible) . Using you
