Unity tutorial 02 I enjoyed doing these unity tutorials I found them useful but I did know the majority of stuff other than most of the coding already from past unity tutorials I do enjoy these tutorials a lot better then the Jimmy Vegas ones I feel like there a lot easier to follow. I think the scripting part of these tutorials are really helpful and interesting and it is good to learn more about scripting as I did struggle with it a lot last semester but I found the scripting in these tutorials very helpful I also really liked finding out about putting a play mode tint on the screen as it is helpful because sometimes you forget you are in play mode.  I also liked that he explained how to do some shortcuts around unity which was very helpful because sometimes I can't figure out how to get back to the front view or side view etc but now I know how to do shortcuts of the viewpoints I also found the rigidbody's helpful but I did learn that last semester so that the box woul...

Reading 2: planning my approach Hello, welcome back to my blog the two topics that I have chosen are design process also visual and audio elements which are from the chapter creating a user experience. To help with my research I wrote out a bunch of questions which would help with my research which were: 1)What is the design process of a game? 2)What is the process of a game? 3)How is the design process applied to a game? 4)What are the visual and audio elements in a game? 5)How are visual and audio elements applied to a game? The two questions that I feel would work best with my research would have to be what is the design process of a game? and how are visual and audio elements applied to a game? I feel like my research questions complete the research question checklist and that it will make research a lot easier. Keywords to help with my research: Design process visuals sound audio color texture lighting testing production research scale elements game desi...

Time strategies  The articles that I read were the important habit of just starting by Jory Mackay and how to beat procrastination by Caroline Webb I taught the articles were kind of useful some of the stuff they talked about I knew already but some of the information was helpful and inspiring such as getting into the habit of just starting your work and getting it done and telling people that we are going to get the work done can also help you do your work and also to visualize getting your work done can also help you get started instead of procrastinating I hope to use this information to help me get my work done for this semester. Based on the semester last year I think my biggest challenge will be getting all the lab work and big assignments done on time for this module and for other modules and to make sure i do not overlap assignments and try get assignments that are due on the same day done beforehand so I do not have such a heavy workload and I am going to plan all my a...

Technology tools I am looking forward to using all the technology tools for this course the ones I am most interested in would have to be image editing the apps we will be using for this are mac preview or Chromebook image editor and we will be learning how to use a basic image editor for cropping and resizing images I am also interested in graphic creation the apps we will be using for this are canvas, cheezburger, automotivator, padlet, Unity 3D, word press and Graphics creation the app I am most excited to use would have to be Unity 3D because I am excited to create my own game and to learn how games are created. The other technology tools for this course are blogging and bookmarking. I am already familiar with Canvas as I used it last year for digital media to create a story board for my film I am also familiar with Chromebook image editor as I used it before to edit photos I have also used Pinterest before. This online environment is unlike any of my other classes because we...

Class assignments The assignments that I am most intrigued by would have to be Unity 3D because I am interested in learning how games are made and I am excited to create my own game and create a story for the game and to add the graphics that I like to the game. Even though I do not play a lot of games myself personally I do play some games and do always wonder how they are made and how they create all the graphics in the games. Unity 3D- Unity                                                         I am also interested in project feedback I do always like to hear how other people feel about my projects and I do like to hear on how I can improve on somethings so that I can get better at it I do also like to give good feedback to other peoples projects and to give advice on how they can also make their projects better if necessary. Pr...

Growth minds et I have never heard of Carol Dweck before this module but after listening to her Ted talk and her other videos I feel like she is very inspiring but I have heard of a growth mindset before in secondary school and how to expand our mindset. I feel like overall I have a growth mindset and I am open to learning from my mistakes and I am open to learn new things. Since I have started at TU Dublin I feel like my mindset has grown even more because I got to learn so many new things from different modules and from the people in the course and I feel like I have processed it all well one of my biggest challenges was trying to get all my work done for college even though I loved learning new things while also trying to balance a social life. I feel like I would definitely be interested in learning more about growth mindsets in this semester as I feel like I would like to get a better understanding of a growth mindset. I would like to learn more about how to try to keep everythi...

Introduction Hi my name is Jennifer Moorehouse I am 20 years old I was born on the 24th of August 1999 and I live in Finglas in Dublin with my mother and my sister who is 16 years old who annoys the life out of me I am currently studying creative digital media in TU Dublin Blanchardstown and I am in my second year. In my first year in creative digital media I learned a lot one of my favorite modules last year was photography because I love the art side of it and love that you can be creative and express something through an image I also loved looking at different types of photographers and admiring their work I did learn a lot last year and created a lot of new things such as websites, films, photographs, posters and so much more. I am not too sure what career I want to do in the future but so far I do really like photography/Photoshop and I also feel like web development would be a good career to get into. One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is draw I find it very r...

Workshop 1  The traffic light exercise that we did in the lecture for multimedia development gave me a new perspective on how to look at objects that we see regularly every day and to actually think about how they work the topic of how traffic lights work is something that I would not be familiar with but I do see a a pattern in how the lights work. I also did not know how to create a flow chart as I have never done one before but one of the people I was in a group with knew how to do flow charts so I kind of understood how they worked. I enjoyed working in a group because I learned new things and since I didn't really understand how flow charts worked I had help to figure it out and I enjoyed interacting with people instead of figuring it out by myself. I also found out what the pattern was of the traffic lights which was the top and bottom lights would be red and the left and right would be green and the pattern would change every few minutes I also got to hear peoples perspec...
