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.

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...

Week 09 Reading & Writing

Week 09 Reading & Writing Hi again and welcome back to my blog! In this blog post I will reflect on all the reading and writing work I have done to date.  Overall, I have found the reading and writing assignments interesting and very useful. I have always found that summarising something after reading it allows me to take in the information better. By writing the blogs, I have definitely got a better grasp and understanding of what I was reading.  My favourite reading so far was  Lost Garden  by Daniel Crook  because I learned so many new things that I would never come across by myself. Crook discussed "Dunbar's Layers".  This is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. The average person can have up to 150 relationships but once you look into all the layers, it can drop down to just 5 intimate friends. This suggestion can then be applied to game design. He also talk...
