Unity Tutorial 05

 Hey guys, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be talking about three unity tutorials I watched and learned from.                                                                                                                                                               Image 1: Unity Logo
In this first tutorial Jimmy Vegas looked at some more UI elements and a dynamic cursor.
I created a script so that I could pick up a gem rather than just walking through it. This was super handy to learn because I hope to have this in the game I plan to create. I also learned how to create text for objects that the player interacts with during the game.

I find the #C Script very tedious, but it has to be done. I'm becoming slightly more familiar with writing the script, but it does take me a few shots before I get it right.

In the second tutorial, Vegas explained how to create weapons using animation. He brought in new elements into the environment like a fence. It's very useful having these objects in an assets folder made by him already. I enjoyed learning how to make a weapon on unity because I know i'll need this skill for my own game.

In the third tutorial, Vegas worked with layering and talked about how to command your weapon to swing. He also explained how to add sound to the movement of the weapon.
After watching these tutorials, I can finally see the game coming more to life. Looking forward to learning more from Jimmy Vegas!

Unity Tutorial 05

Unity Tutorial 05 Hi and welcome back! Today I will be writing about the "Collision Decisions" and "Challenge 2 & Quiz Play Fetch" Unity tutorials. These tutorials were a continuation from last weeks. As I didn't do last weeks, I had a lot of work to catch up on! Fortunately, I completed the first tutorial without any problems. The second part was a bit more difficult and I didn't get all of it correct. In "Collision Decisions" I made it so that animals were spawning randomly at different times on the screen. I made it so there was a timed interval between each animal when walking down the screen. I did this by using InvokeRepeating() in the script. I added colliders so that I could feed the animals with all the different food. When all the animals get past the end of the scene, it says  "Game Over". The end of the scene was when they got past the player. Screenshot of Unity The "Challenge 2 - Play Fetch" tut...

Game Elements

Game Elements This week's readings game me an insight on the questions that must be asked when thinking about; p layers, objectives, rules, resources, game state, information, sequencing, player interaction, theme and games as systems. I found the examples given for each of these very useful and gave me an idea of all the variations there are. Image 1:  https://pxhere.com/en/photo/948574 I think the "Three step process" given for critically analyzing a game will definitely come in hand: "1. Describe the game’s formal elements. Do not interpret at this point, simply state what is there. 2. Describe the results of the formal elements when put in motion. How do the different elements interact? What is the play of the game like? Is it effective? 3. Try to understand why the designer chose those elements and not others. Why this particular player structure, and why that set of resources? What would have happened if the designer had chosen differently?" ( h...

Unity Tutorial 06

Unity tutorial 6  Hi and welcome back to my blog! Today I will be writing about a new set of Unity Tutorials about “Jump Force”, “Making the World Whiz By” & “Don’t Just Stand There”. In the first tutorial we created a new prototype, added a new background, character and obstacle. This was a fast paced and side scrolling runner game where the player had to get the character to jump over obstacles and avoid crashing into them. In these tutorials I also learned how to add music and sound effects. I learned about the spawn manager too, which is basically what controls spawning objects. Image 1: Screenshot of Unity Image 2: Screenshot of script In the second tutorial I used code to make the background of the game move effortlessly with the obstacles. As I used C Script the background and spawn manager will stop once the player collides with the obstacle. And lastly, in the third tutorial, we created three more new animations. I found this difficult as I had ne...
