Learning Challenge: The Time You Have (In Jelly Beans)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOksW_NabEk&list=PLrWYQjLLbXci3kvG8y9IsC9hzVdD9miyo&t=161s
These are 28,835 jelly beans, which represent the average human life and this is how many days we have on this earth.

For this Learning Challenge, I decided to watch a video on a youtube channel that goes by the name of "zefrank1" and this short video talks about our lives and how much time we have on this earth. In the video, there are 28,835 jellybeans being scattered across the ground and all these jellybeans represent the number of days average that we have on this earth. For example, 365 jellybeans mean we spent 1 year or 365 days on this earth since we were born. The thing I already knew before watching this video is that time is very valuable and we must use it to the best of our abilities. Time is neither our enemy nor our friend so it gives us a choice. Either put off work from now on or use now to build a better life for yourself. And that's what makes life a game by putting in time and deadlines which creates real wins and losses.

They go ahead and layout 5,475 jellybeans (days) which takes us into the threshold of adulthood and that leaves them 23,360 beans left. When they have all the beans left, they go into detail on how humans on average will spend their time.

Sleeping = 8,477 days

Eating/Drinking= 1,635 days

Working = 3,202 days

Travelling = 1,099 days

Watching TV/Entertainment = 2,676 days

Household Chores = 1,576 days

Family and Friends = 564 days

Bathing and Grooming = 671 days

Community Activites = 720 days

After they take all those beans (days) out, they are left with 2,740 beans left. Which are 2,740 days of our life.

The thing that I learnt is that life is incredibly short if you put things into perspective in these means and you will get your answer. The question is, What are we going to do with those 2,740 days? Are we going to spend it doing the things we love? Laughing? Spending time with family? Whatever it is, I learnt we have to make the most out of life because this life is about living and not existing.

Game Brainstorm

Game Brainstorm 3D Catching Game I picked the 3D Catching game for one of my ideas because I feel like these games are simple to play, the controls and the mechanics are not complicated and anyone can play them. From my knowledge, inside of a catching game, the player needs to use its abilities to move around the map, stay focused and catch certain objects such as balls, fruits, food, animals, etc with precision. And the more objects that you catch the more difficult the game will get and the levels get increasingly harder and more fun. The objects will either fall faster or there will be such things that you are not allowed to catch such as spikes, bombs, unhealthy food etc in general just bad things can't be caught. The things I would like to learn if I were to make a catching game is : Learn the fundamentals of making a game. Learn the different mechanics of controlling and moving a player. Learn how to make the player catch objects. Learn how to add a...

Introduction to a Future Success

Introduction to myself :) This is me Nasim Slavotic :) Hello! My name is Nasim Slavotic, I am 20 years old and I am now a 2nd-year student in TUDublin Blanchardstown doing Creative Digital Media. I am from Dublin and I work part-time in my dad's butcher shop here in Blanchardstown in Coolmine near the post office. What are my hobbies? In my free time, I like to go to the gym. Also, I like to go out and take pictures with my camera and make videos on my Youtube channel (NaSiM101) which I took a break from for a while from the pandemic but I do love to brainstorm new ideas for videos and discover new trending things. I also love going out with my friends but now I am starting to go back out again since the pandemic had closed everything before but now everything is coming back to normal slowly but surely. When I'm bored I like to head on Photoshop and Illustrator and just make whatever comes in my mind. https://pxhere.com/en/photo/1621191 Favourite Foods...

My First Playable

First Playable My First Playable game so far At this point right now in the process of making my game, I have now implemented the environment, the 3d character, the HUD interface of the gold coins, the player being able to run forward across the map and move left and right avoiding the obstacles pressing the left and right keys or the A and D keys. I also implemented the trigger where when you run across the coins you are able to collect the coins and the number of coins you collect will appear on the top left of the screen. I adjusted the main camera angle to be a third-person view of the entire game so it gives a good perspective of the coins and the obstacles. I then added plants to give it a better aesthetic and look to the game. The thing I wanted to change from my original vision was that I wanted to make the game way more suited to the theme of the game itself. So instead of wooden spikes, I added logs and instead of tree trunks I added regular trees and then I also added ...
