Growth Mindset - Learning By H.E.A.R.T

Learning By H.E.A.R.T

HEART stands for Happiness/Health-Empathy-Attention-Reading-Time. I read Laura Gibbs article called "When Your Brain Doesn't Sleep".

 This article was all about the effects of sleep deprivation. The effects are:

  • Loss of Memories: Scientists believe when we sleep our mind replays repetitive patterns while we sleep to help information stick. So lack of sleep causes long term memory loss.
  • Anger: Sleep loss makes us focus on negative experiences, misinterpret facial expressions and pick fights.
  • Hallucinations: A well-rested brain filters noise, light, and smell to separate what matters from what doesn't. When the brain is unable filter the information coming in, it results in chaos.
There are many more effects of sleep deprivation on your health, the longer you are sleep deprived the more serious the effects become. 

This blog was about the Health part of H.E.A.R.T

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

Unity Tutorial 01

UNITY TUTORIAL 01 Welcome back to my Blog, In this blog I will discuss my thoughts on my first Unity Tutorial by Jimmy Vegas. I had never used Unity before. It is a very similar layout to Blender so I didn't find the controls as difficult to get the hang of as I did when I first used Blender. I think it's easier to use than Blender, everything is more accessible and there doesn't seem to be as many hidden menus. Though I'm sure when we start doing more complex things on Unity it will be just as difficult as Blender.  Jimmy Vegas was very clear and his tutorial was very easy to follow along with, he explained everything he did really well but didn't dwell on anything for too long. I stayed engaged and didn't get bored, which I often do. It's a really cool software, Although I do like how we were just given packs to download but I would be very interested to learn how to make a tree and different terrains and textures by myself. Unity has left
