Tech Task:Twitter Lists

Image
Image - Twitter GIF For this task I followed the instructions to create a twitter list. I have never created a twitter list before so I just created a list with some of my favourite YouTubers. The reason I created this list is because YouTube is something I am really interested in and these content creators are really good at what they do. I hope this will help anyone that is interested in creating a twitter list and if you don't what a twitter list is I recommend checking it out. :) Link to my list: My Favourite YouTubers Link to task: Twitter Lists  

My Feedback Thoughts

Image
Image - Feedback How to get past negative bias The first article I read was " How to get past negative bias ", I found the article extremely interesting and I think it's a great read to try and work on being more happy in life. I found it interesting what Hanson was saying about if 5 good things happen, 4 neutral and 1 negative which one do you go to bed thinking about and its true you think about the negative. What Hansons is doing is trying to get us to overcome that and make our happy thoughts more powerful than the negatives ones because just naturally us humans we think about the negative thoughts more than the happy ones, this isn't something that we should just let happen and I think Hansons talk was really powerful and uplifting and I really am going to try and take what he said away with me. Hanson said to remember the word "HEAL", each letter has a different meaning with different instructions. H - Have a positive experience.  E - Enrich it.  A - A...

Game Brainstorm

Image
Hi, to get started the first thing I did was a brainstorm just to get my mind flowing: Quick Brainstorm - (my own image) Basically what I did was write genres to different games, then from there I wrote the first games that came to mind in each genre. Even though I would never be able to create a game even close to the standards of these with the time we have it just gives me an idea what I want to work on. After writing all of these games I then underlined the ones I'm most interesting in.  Game 1: Even before I made this list the first game that came to my mind when I thought of creating a game was the game slender man. For anyone that doesn’t know what slender man is, it is a scary game where you basically spawn in the woods and the objective of the game is to collect all the notes on the trees before slender man gets you. What made this game so fun and scary was it was actually difficult and slender man was scary and the even scarier part about slender man was that there’s stor...

Unity Tutorial 01

Image
I just completed my first set of Unity tutorials and it was something I was looking forward to doing and excited for.    When I opened Unity initially it looked very confusing and hard to use, as you start to follow the tutorials you start to understand how it works and that it’s not as confusing as it looks.  Image - Cartoon Car   To be honest I didn’t find any of the tutorials to complicated yet, some things just take a minute or two to figure out but apart from that it was fine. The only thing I did have a problem with was when creating the project at the start I tried to locate it onto my external hard drive instead of my desktop, just because I store most things onto that to save space but for some reason it kept giving me an error and the program wouldn’t open so when I searched it up online it said external hard drives can cause that problem that I’ll just have to save it to my desktop which was relief that it wasn’t something more complicated.  ...
