Feedback Thoughts

Feedback Thoughts

The first article I read was 'Why rejection hurts so much' by Guy Winch. 
This article was very well written, a lot of what he said was mostly common knowledge. I liked his advice at the end though where he told us how to boost feelings over social connection. I've never been told how to deal with the feelings of rejection so this was very useful and I might try some of them out sometime.

I also didn't know that feeling hurt from rejection is a survival instinct, I found that part of the article very interesting. 

The second article I read was 'A Simple 5-Second Habit to Rewire Your Harshly Self-Critical Brain' by Joel Almeida. I liked this article much more than the first, probably because Joel Almeida was writing from a personal experience. 

I think REBS (reality-based self-congratulation) would be very good habit to get yourself into. It's so easy to accept failure and never want to try again. I like that REBS will make you feel good for all the small victories in life, like just starting a project or not giving up when things get tough.


Both articles taught me something new and how to deal with failures in a healthier way.

I haven't received much feedback over the years. The most feedback I got in school was probably in 6th year because we had major exams approaching so teachers were trying to help you improve. Before that though I remember getting good and bad grades and not really knowing why, the only feedback I got were generic comments like 'Well Done' or 'Can do better'.

I hate the feeling of failing so more often than not I don't bother trying or if I do I put in minimal effort so if I do fail it doesn't really matter because I didn't really try anyway. In the last year or so I've been trying to care more and not be scared to try.

The most negative feedback I've been given are the very vague comments I mentioned earlier. 

The most positive was probably something constructive that still involved praise but told me where I could improve. 

In conclusion I look forward to putting REBS into action in my everyday life and hopefully improving my work ethic by doing so.

This week our meeting with Shaun went well. For Thursday we will have our full functioning game. This week I've been watching videos on Animate CC just to get to grips on how the software works and how to use it. Video for simple animation Only half of this video was actually needed as the designs for the game have already been done. I started to watch a video where the game was made using html5 and java script which I thought could be cool because we already have some knowledge on HTML and JavaScript but as we are making a game for an iPad theres was no point in continuing his tutorials. Plus his voice was hard to follow and he wasn't the best at explaining what he was doing or why.                                        I am currently behind this week so I will be very busy on the game in the next two days to get it finished for Thursday.

This week Nhu Thai and I met up on Wednesday and discussed what we need to do and how we would evenly share out the work. We decided that Nhu would do the Main Menu, the setting page, level page and level 1 and I will be doing levels 2-6. We explored colours for the main menu page using adobe colour. We decided on yellow, blue, red and brown. We wanted use bright colours to engage the users attention. Nhu and I weren't sure how to share our files between Animate CC. We decided to try just sending the file to one another and copy and pasting it into one of the projects. That worked so we we were delighted to know we could easily transfer files. We were given the illustrations this week and are working on implementing them into the levels. We also looked at fonts. We wanted something fun and childlike but it still needs to be readable. After looking through fontspace we decided to go with KidZone and SchoolBell. KidZone was used for the heading and SchoolBell was used fo

Game Design Document

Game Design Document I'm in a group with Eva Garrett, Nicole Goodman, Robyn Mulhall, Nhu Thai, Marcin Grabicki and Emma Byrne. After doing some research we decided we wanted to make an app for an iPad instead of a game for the laptop we think it would be much more suitable for the game we want to make and for the age group.  We were inspired by Leap-Frog and Animal Crossing.  Kids are attracted to bright colours, we notice colours and begin to distinguish objects based on colour from a very young age so it's important to make sure the game is very bright. We will keep this in mind when designing the game. A lot of kids are visual learners and auditory learners, it's important that they make the association with the sound and word/numbers.  We are making a game for an iPad. The game will be an e-learning game for kids ages four to eight years old.  The game will be a mathematical game based on a farm. The player will be asked a series of questions such as
