Unity Free Tutorials

Unity Free Tutorials

Hey! Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will be explaining what tutorials helped me add certain elements to my game.

The first video I watched was "Unity - How to jump" by Waldo. I chose this video because I want to add variety to my avatar's abilities. At the moment it is difficult for my avatar to jump from one platform to the other without falling. So I aimed to make t=it easier for the player by using what I learned from this tutorial.

I created new private references within the #C Script to do this. By changing the integer I was able to make a double jump. I changed the characters vertical velocity while maintaining the horizontal velocity. I still find C# Script really difficult but this tutorial was really helpful and I was able to copy it straight from his script.

The second video I watched was "How to make a Health Bar (Unity 2D Tutorial for Beginners)" by Code Monkey. I want to make a health bar to show how long the player has to live. I found this tutorial a lot harder than the first. I attempted to follow the script but did not do it correctly. I hope to find some more tutorials that may have a clearer/simpler explanation.

I'm looking forward to finishing my game and showing it to my classmates. I can't wait to see everyone elses! ☺

    Hi Lauren, these tutorials/videos seem to be very helpful and im sure everyone can apply them to their game somehow. I like the layout of your blog and you seem to know where your going with your game which is good. The c# script is quite difficult I do agree so I will look at this video and it will probably help me out! Best of luck with your game and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

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...
