I never heard of Carol the whack before looking at the videos given. I really like her ideas and I feel like they are very progressive and can lead to people being more positive and less hesitant and doubtful about how smart they can be. For the most part I feel like I land on the fixed mindset just because whenever I get challenged with a hard challenge I often stress out and let it get to me but in the last year I have been really trying to be more positive and tackling challenges head-on I've had better mindset where even if I can't do challenges to a really high standard like other people I give everything a go and give my own best and try not to compare myself to others I feel like this really helps as when I know I've given my own best I know that's all I can do. I also often find after just tackling challenges and giving my all I got a great sense of achievement rather than me not trying at all. I found this especially prevalent in year one of CDM as I did not know how to any adobe software at all and never coded in my lifeboat I really wanted to learn all of these new skills. At the start it was very stressful getting to grips with all of these programmes but I knew once I got the hang of it a bit I just needed to add the creativity I have to the projects I also kept on saying to myself just "give your best and don't compare yourself to others" and this worked tremendously as at the start I would be intimidated by more advanced peoples work. I definitely would like to learn more about growth mindset in this module as I would like to learn even more ways to become more confident with challenges that I'm faced witheven more ways to become more confident with challenges that I'm faced with. My goal in this semester is to give my all and try not to get stressed out by new challenges I am a bit worried about coding as I feel that as we progress into more advanced types of coding I might get lost but I'm going to try and keep my positive mindset for this and just try everything.

Prototype

                                                                         Project For my project this week I started to put my plan into action. Starting out the project is something that I found the most difficult it took a lot of time to grasp my head around setting everything up and getting more to grips with how to lay things out. But once I found out how to add objects and start that's when things started to get a little bit easier. I started by adding a couple of ground pieces to act like where my player is going to run. I  then added a cube shape from the game object section to act as a placeholder for my character. I placed everything where I wanted it and then started to think about how I'm going to start with coding. At first I thought about following it to tutorial on YouTube but I then quickly realised even these were way too advanced for me. I then thought that the section I had previously done on Unity tutorials section 3 was quite similar to what I want to achieve

Game Idea Research

                                                     Game Idea Research A general idea and a static that I'm thinking I want my game to look like.                                                       http://garara.net/game/wizard-hult The game idea that I decided to go for is a basic platform style game, but because I love Harry Potter so much I wanted the game to be wizard themed. I want that aesthetic throughout the whole game when it comes to things like the background, the character, the enemies and so on. Mechanic 01 The first mechanic I was thinking of putting in it is a jumping mechanic I want the character to be able to jump on platforms and go throughout the game jumping on these platforms to reach the end kind of like a Super Mario game. Hopefully I'll be able to add this mechanic I'm not sure how hard it will be. Mechanic 02 The second mechanic I would like to add to the game is there to be enemies. While the wizard character is going through the wizard world to
