Lyrics final version
Let's get straight into it!
I wake up early every day to be the best Don't close the mac cuz there's no need for me to rest My job is like a game that's why I feelso blessed Oh, a, oh
They took the fun out of my creativity (BUT) I'm responsible for my stability (AND) My mentor said 'Self-motivation is the key! 20 points I did a good job! 50 points I did a better job!
Gaming could make a promising world Gaming should make a fulfilling world Gamify your entire day Oh-a-a-a oh
Waiting the host to let me enter the zoom call Checking my emails while I'm having healthy lunch My job is like a game but why I feel so stressed Oh-a oh-a Is this my leisure time? Oh-a oh-a Is this my working time?
Gaming could make a healthier world Gaming should make a happier world Manage life through all your apps Get some rest and back to work"
Oh-a-aho oh x2
Gaming could make an easier world Gaming should make a better world
If you fail then don't complain Try your best and play the game Life is better when you may gamify all the way Can't go on anymore x2
Gaming can't make a promising world Gaming can't make a healthier world Gaming can't make a happier world Gaming can't make an easier world Gaming can't make a better world
Gaming can't make a fulfilling world Gaming can't make a healthier world" Gaming can't make a happier world Gaming can't make an easier world Gaming can't make a better world
Prototyping
Two prototyping experiments about the loot box
Τrying to generate puzzles through emojis
#1st #LOOT BOX # it works like this # call the random function # define the characters that are going to be picked randomly # define with and height # then write a code that for the range of (height,width) it prints the random characters #print ' ' from random import choice characters = ['👓', '👠', '🧨', '📣', '⚽', '🦺', '🏳🌈', '💍','👑','💻','🚬','🍗','🧵'] #numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,] #height = 1 for x in range(3): print(choice(characters), end=) print(' ')
#2nd #Objects and assumptions from random import choice characters = ['🎮','💸','👔','👠', '🧨', '📣', '⚽', '🦺', '🏳🌈', '💍','👑','💻','🚬','🍗','🧵',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '] width = 50 height = 50 for y in range(height): for x in range(width): print(choice(characters), end=) print()
