The Weekly Developments

This tutorial was on the harder side for me. First, I started the Sprite Animation. I didn't struggle too much at the start with code or actions, I just couldn't find some of the windows and places where I had to make the changes. After a Google search I eventually found what I needed. The animation creation of the robot is quite tedious and it takes a lot of repetition but I definitely know how to do it now.  Next, the Ruby animation was already set up so I flew through that. It was interesting looking at what triggers what and the actions it creates.  I struggled a lot with the second tutorial. I followed the code and checked it over and over but when it got to making a projectile prefab game object in my code, it did not show up in the editor anywhere. Unfortunately, I really needed to work it out to continue on. I googled it and tried everything but it just wouldn't work. I also messaged the class in Slack but no one got back to me. I've spent over 3 hours just tryi...

This week we had to go through our bibliography and find themes for our own work. I chose just to use Microsoft Office Word as it was easier to just type and point out the quotes as I'd done the hard work of finding the quotes and summarizing them in my previous blogs. I found it easy to add little notes as it was all laid out right in front of me - it was a similar idea to how when I was reading my papers, I was highlighting important points and adding in my own commentary on the side, whether a summary of what was said but in my own words or just a note like 'great quote talking about the current RPG world', for example.  While I'd been reading these papers, I had noticed some themes anyway. I didn't find it too difficult to find themes because I was already conscious of them. It was more so finding out how to link them to each other. Some had several themes and some were blatantly just one. Mental Health and Social Skills were both connected in a lot of ways but ...

This week I decided to see if I could do the type test again and compare my results from last November. Last year I got 53 WPM with 97% accuracy on my first try. On my second try, it was 56 WPM at 99% accuracy.  This year, my first attempt was 54 WPM with 98% accuracy. My second attempt gave me my highest score and I was clearly on a roll.  (screenshot from typing.com, my high score of 70 WPM at 99% accuracy) If anyone is in need of a fast typer with good accuracy, I'm available.
