This week we finally got a chance to fully start our respective Genius Hour projects. I was lucky enough to have a partner, as I am working with Amun to create a mini game. However, we did not get much work done feeling unmotivated and felt sluggish on an early Monday morning.
2. How it made you feel (yes I want a feeling and why you felt that way).
It definitely felt good and was a relief to finally get underway with the project but I wasn't feeling as excited or pumped to do some work, possibly because it was a very poor Monday morning for myself waking up.
3. What you learned, what challenges you faced,
My partner and I learned that making a game isn't as easy at seems with the software we were using, and were having trouble right in the opening stages of creating a game. It caused both of us to be frustrated and made us not wanna continue for the rest of the day.
4. How are you going to overcome these challenges
We are currently looking at tutorials to solve our problem or potentially looking at new softwares to create our game.
5. What failed (if anything) and why this happened.
Because we were just learning the program, we faced significant difficulties in just starting the game. For instance, it was a struggle to make the game character learn how to jump and run wherever we wanted it to. We hope for greater fortunes next week.
6. What do you anticipate in the future?
I anticipate we will get way more work done than we had this week and learn the basics of our program to get to where we want for our game.
7. Most importantly you need to write what you learned, if you learned anything at all for that week, and if you did nothing that Tuesday, why? Were you tired, were you not inspired to work? How were you feeling that day?
I certainly wasn't feeling the best heading into Genius Hour because of being tired and having math class first thing in the morning, which seems to have drained all my energy and reluctance to work.
8. Name one important thing you learned in class Monday during your Genius Hour. Why is it important?
I learned the importance of getting enough sleep the night before to make sure I am full of energy when I wake up the morning after because it is vital to successfully get through the day.
