Most people get excited about games, but I've got to be excited about practice, because that's my classroom.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The only way a kid is going to practice is if it's total fun for him... and it was for me.
It's definitely fun when you're able to translate your practice into the game. It's fun, and you know that your hard work paid off.
Games shouldn't only be fun. They should teach or spark an interest in other things.
To learn something new every day is still exciting!
My boys told me they'd rather play than practice.
My goal in the classroom was always to make sure they were having so much fun that they didn't realize they were learning.
I practice a lot.
I'm kind of getting more excited about developing my own stuff, or getting involved early in projects and doing my best to make things that I care about happen.
Games I do find interesting for what they say about us, about what we wish for, about the programming. But let it stop there: don't listen to this rubbish about them actually being good for you, helping with hand-eye co-ordination or whatever. They're games. They prepare you for nothing.
There were times I wouldn't come to practice, because it didn't excite me. It wasn't interesting. I was kind of going through the motions.
