Growth Mindset: OH NO NOT THE BLOCK !!


Oh god it only a few seconds into the video and I'm getting flashback to my dyslexia test with those stupid lovely blocks. I remember you would be given a card and you had to make the pattern on the card with the block, oh god I hated it, biggest pain in the arse going. I could never figure out how to make the blocks match the stupid pattern and you had to 25 of them, 25 PATTERN ?! I'M GETTING BLEEDED VIETNAM FLASHBACK TO THIS.
A Meme about Fixed and Growth Mindset, taken here
Oh god I've just realized that I'm just at of spending a minute ranting about those stupid blocks and I haven't even introduced the video and surprise, I'm not drunk.  So this video is called "Carol Dweck: The Effect of Praise on Mindsets", one the aspects I find interesting about the video is that the kids get praise ! When did this, I was so bad they had to label me to let people know I was a stupid dopey child, DYSLEXIA and yes I didn't google how to spell it  HA !

Is it bad that when I did it and got to the hard one I ask could I go home ? Actually if I remember correctly, I push the blocks away and went to bed at one point, younger me was a brave little twat, wasn't she ?

When I was asked if I wanted to go do the easier one or the harder one, I said I want to do neither and play my DS. 

Also I just realized that those block test were created by this Carol Dweck, Now I know whose face I'm putting on the dartboard tonight. Hang on, is that I why I kept getting asked what does the teacher and my parents say about my work ? Is that why I got asked does the voice in my head say when I'm working on something hard ? To figure out if I have a fixed or growth mindset ?

To bad I answered: "Can I go to the bathroom ? I gonna wet myself.", although I think 8 year old me got Growth mindset at the time, then again I never did listen to my teachers back then.

Unity tutorial 06: Thanks Google and Unity!

FINALLY I'm done this unity tutorial ! Oh my god you have know idea how long this took me. First Chrome decided not to work, like at all, I don't know since it wasn't my wi-fi or laptop since Firefox work fine for me, so why ? No idea. Cheers Google ! Screenshot taken by me. Oh and the Unity video froze again , then it crashed. I feel you buddy, screenshot taken by me. So how did the tutorial go ? Pretty good actually, once unity stopped messing me around, I actually didn't have a bad time. I guess my only problem is this error which I can't figure for the life of me what it's on about: Null Reference ? What you on about Unity ? Screenshot taken by me. Seriously Unity telling me Null Reference is like telling me my Dad wants me, I've no clue what you're talking about. Anywho apart from this error, I feel like this was the most useful tutorial so far, the others were great for getting back into things while learning a few new tricks but...

Game Idea Research

Last week I talk about Games the ideas I like to do, after a bit more thinking, I think I know what idea I'm gonna do and I'm gonna talk about it in this blog. I think the game I would like to recreate is Terraria or at least the boss aspect about it. I started researching into how would I go about it, Luckily our good old friend Jimmy Vegas has videos about how to create an rpg and more importantly how to create Boss AI.  Jimmy Vegas' Video here.  This might be able to help me and since this part of a series, the whole series might be able to help ! I also looked into an inventory system for my games, I found a blog about how to add an inventory system, which you can read  Here . This will work well with my game, as it helps the player collect and keep items, so they can use them later. My last mechanic is to a combat system, I look up a tutorials but the weren't many for 3d, I did found this  One . Maybe Jimmy Vegas will have a tutorial on it, I'll need to l...

Introduction to Me, Myself and I

Hello, I'm Sarah and this my introduction post ! Here's bit of information about me: I live in Dublin, in Ireland and I've live there all my life. I mainly listen to Metal, currently I've been listening to Slipknot newest Album 'We are not your Kind' also known as Vol 6.. If you want a taste of Slipknot, here's a link to 'Unsainted' which is the first song (not counting the intro) on their new album. For Hobbies, I usually write, I've been practising writing over the summer and I think I'm getting better, My English has certainly improved. I'm also a Cub Scout Leader, so I go away on trip with the Cubs, Scouts and Ventures. This year I went away to County Claire and Holland with the Scouts. County Claire in June 2019, Taken by Me while hiking with the Cubs. I really like travelling around, especially with my camera, my Nikon D5100 with a standard 18-55mm lens and I since I'm studying photography in college I got put in...
