Reading 05 : Tips for doing research

Pictures of some of the Articles I have completed reading

For this week's reading task, I am glad that I was already doing the techniques that were instructed for us to do. I was very delighted as I was already highlighting important things before as I read the essential articles that I have collected from last week. This was the reason why I was behind with work because it is taking me a while to read an article as I was taking notes while I go through the article to help me save time when I started to write my annotated bibliographies. I also found out that I can insert the PDFs to the Notes application on my tablet therefore it made it easier for me to work and read the articles even though I am not working on my table.

During this week, I tried my best to read the rest of the articles I have found and started writing my annotated bibliographies in a more detailed version and make sure that the articles must but useful to my topic. Coding the articles to take notes is very helpful and it would make your work easier. You will be able to remember what you want to write about and do not have to look back over the article. Hopefully, this coming week, I will be able to complete writing my annotated bibliographies.

Here is the link to the word document where I am writing my annotated bibliographies:

Exploring Game Design

Inspiration image about discovering new things We started this week's tasks by reading articles about defining what a game is to a more detail and in depth explanations. I used to define "game" as one or multiple players who works together to complete certain tasks with a set of rules that they must follow whether they win or lose. However if I put more thoughts into it, the definition gets more profound and brings me more in depth about what a game truly is. As I read though the first article that was talking about particular definitions of what a game is depending on how much interaction they have with it. For example, the more interest they have about games the more knowledge they can share with people. There is an interpretation from the article that I like based on a book called "Rules of Play" by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman. They explained that games are a "system in which players engage in an artificial, defined by rules, that results in a quanti...

Introduction to a future Animator 😁

If you've been reading my blog post since the day I started, you have read my first introduction. However, I haven't really talked about myself. So in this post, I will along with questions from the tasks we have given. 😁 My photo from last year First of all my name is Flosie Jane Sazon, I am currently a 2nd-year student studying Creative Digital Media at the Technological University of Dublin located in Blanchardstown Campus. I'm 20 years old (even though I don't look my age 😂) and I have been living in Ireland since I was 13. This course wasn't actually my first choice even though I love art. My first choice was something about business and language which was way different from what I'm doing now, but I'm really happy that I'm doing what I love. Even though there were a lot of times convincing my parents but everything went well in the end.😂😂 What was the best class you took last semester? why? Even though I enjoyed Web Development and Design Proc...

Game Elements

Textured background with a text. Link This week's reading task is about game elements where we have to explore more important vocabulary that we could use and also consider if we are starting to build our game project. The first written document that I read was analyzing the qualities of games. It started to give a quick summary about the definition of a game and all of main qualities can be simply called as "Formal Elements" also known as "Atomic Elements of Games" . They are the smallest parts of a game that can be studied individually. Here are the 10 Atomic elements: Players Objectives (goals) Rules Resources/Resource Management Game State Information Sequencing Player Interaction Theme (Setting, Narrative, Backstory) Game as Systems After reading each explanation about these elements, I started to understand how important it is to follow this because every one of them has a special role in our game. The whole game could change if we just adjust/remove a...
