Utah, Cami Buckley. “Is video game addiction real”. May 13 2020.

A recent six-year study, the longest study ever done on video game addiction, found that about 90% of gamers do not play in a way that is harmful or causes negative long-term consequences. A significant minority, though, can become truly addicted to video games and as a result can suffer mentally, socially and behaviorally.

 

Who wrote the document: Cami Buckley 

 

What does the document discusses: The aim of this particular study is to look at the longer terms and impact when it comes to people that have a particular relationship with video games and how playing video games for a period of time can do to a person over time, in this article it was based off of a six year study, the longest study ever done on video game addiction, and it’s also found that 90% of gamers do not play in a way that is harmful or causes negative long term consequences and it’s actually a significant minority, though it’s still very bad because of how people can get truly addicted to video games and as a result can suffer mentally, socially and behaviorally.

 

Why was the document made: I believe this document was made to show more awareness to people that have video game addiction even though it’s a small amount, even though I am quite surprised on how the longest study of this was only six years, because video games have been here for more than two decades and video game addiction is not talked about that much

Annotated Bibliography 2

 

New York, Ferris Jabr. “Can you really be addicted to video games ”. October 22, 2019.

In this article it’s more of a lot of people different experience with video game addiction, and how people can become addicted in many different ways.

 

In the first story of this article it was about a guy named Charlie Bracke and he was just a normal guy that was playing video games since he was young at the age of 5, he was playing old 2D games and many others, In his teenage years he become more obsessed with online shooters, but like many of us he wasn’t addict he would still get good grades and finish he’s homework on his way on the bus so he can play as much video games when he came home, he’s parents kept telling him to stop playing so much but he didn’t listen, when he went to college everything changed there was no one to hold him accountable for his action eventually he stopped going to class and he dropped out of college and moved back to his parents’ house, when I read this it really shows that a lot of people can be really irresponsible when there is no one to tell them what they’re doing is wrong.

 

In around May the world health organization officially added a new disorder to the section on substance use and addictive behaviors in the latest version of the International Classification of Diseases and the disorder is going to be called “gaming disorder” which defines as excessive and irrepressible preoccupation with video games.

Annotated Bibliography 3

 

New York, Elizabeth. “Is video game addiction really and addiction?”. December 28, 2020.

In this article its trying to discuss if video game addiction is an actually thing or are people just saying it is and that its not real.

 

When they ask the parents if video game addiction is real, they would say yes because they will be watching their kids play all day every day for hours on end neglecting the real world and their friends and family, but what would experts say if this is a real addiction like alcohol or drug addiction.

 

Video game addiction is not included in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, in my opinion it should be because even though video game addiction is very little it should be considered one, but the world health organization also recognizes gaming disorder in its most current state as an disease.

 

Some game manufacturers actually even boast about the “addictive” experience of their games with their advertising which I can’t really blame them because the more people that play and the longer they play the games means the game does way better for the long run for the company.

 

The article also discusses how video game addiction is a worldwide issue and it’s not just only in the west, in some Asian countries such as china and south Korea have seen and identified that video game addiction is a very realy thing and as an urgent public health matter.

Week 9-project

  Week 9 Alpha  My project for this week has been going pretty well I was able to catch up to the point I was at, before I deleted my other file my accident, I was having a bit of problems because my unity was just being very glitchy and it crashed multi of times but I was able to get the work done, which I'm happy about. Here are some screenshot of what I was doing the this week, I made my own level using the tile and grids at first it was very annoying to do because I kept on forgetting to add the grid so the tiles could be on the screen but after a while I got it and then I had to slice all the pixels to 16 by 16 to make it fit the grid I also had to do the same for the sprite character. And there is also a bit of code I just started in I'm able to make the player move left and right and the player can jump

Project week 7

 prototype My game development was going pretty good until I accidentally deleted the file because I bought the file I was working on in a different folder and I deleted that folder with it, but it's ok I'm going to start again but I can talk about how the process was going for me the good and the bad. The good was that the coding was going pretty good thanks to the tutorials that shaun put us on, on the unity tutorials but then I went on to youtube to learn more about coding especially more on 2D plat-former type of coding because thats the game I'm making so It was pretty helpful for me when I was looking at the tutorials.     Id say I only had a couple problems  was that my work rate has been lacking lately but I'm going to bounce back now so it took me a bit to get to the point of how developed the game was before it was deleted because of my stupid mistake and the second one was picking the sprite and background and all the oth...

Week4- Unity tutorial 02

 Week4- Unity tutorial 02 This is my second blog discussing my experience after finishing the second unity tutorial and I have to say my second time using this program was way better than the first time because I'm a bit for familiar with how everything works now thanks to the first tutorial I was able to finish each task much faster now and was able to understand what the person was telling me to do because the first tutorial I was having trouble with the code and other software problems but I got passed that now and the program is very easy to use. In this tutorial we had to learn too move the vehicle left and right instead of it just going straight so now we were able to move it either direction, so now we can actually try and doge the boxes instead of just hitting the boxes, but the only way we can move it was by dragging it to the right or to the left, we then learned about mapping the controls to the keys but the great thing about unity is that it already does it for you whic...
