Unity Tutorial 02

 

(image of unity challenge 1 project, screenshot from my own unity)

This week in the Unity tutorials I went over lesson 1.4 to finish off my first unity project and then I was issued a challenge.

In lesson 1.4 I learned how to move the vehicle left and right using the arrow or AD keys. I then learned how to change the vehicle's speed so that it can go forward or backwards using the arrow or WS keys. I then learned how to further improve the vehicles left and right movements by making it rotate in those directions and not simply slide. I then cleaned up my code and hierarchy so that it is easy to read and more organized. With that i was finished my first project of moving a vehicle down a path with obstacles in the way. I found this project to be very interesting and fun and it was not to hard to complete either. I like how Unity has features to help us create games easier like how I was able to get my inputs for horizontal and vertical without coding it from scratch.


I then went ahead to do my first Challenge with unity where we had a plane and had to make it move similar to the vehicle and avoid obstacles. As I couldn't remember everything I did when I made my vehicle project I looked back over that one and used to hints to figure out what to do when I was stuck, but over all I was pretty happy with the challenge and didn't find it too difficult to complete and finish successfully.

Introduction to a future [Please Enter Career]

Hi all! Just want to write an introduction to who I am and a few things about me. College Life  One of my favorite classes that I took last year was Website Development. I found it enjoyable and interesting to learn all about developing websites from scratch using HTML and CSS. I put my time and effort in and feel like I came out of the module with some good Websites. I feel like this year, while in my 2nd year of this course, I will really enjoy Website Design as I'll learn more about building websites and add on to what I know already. One of my biggest accomplishments of last year was learning a lot of skills like building websites, learning how to use Illustrator and Photoshop and creating video's from my own content. I found it enjoyable and was excited to learn these skills and can't wait to accomplish more using these skills in the future. My goals for this module is to learn more about multimedia, using different platforms available such as Twitter and blogging. Ano...

Game Design

This week for our Reading Task we read the following: What is a Game, Anyway? The organic nature of game ideation Four basic methods for generating ideas When it comes to what a game might be, a definition I have come across in my readings is 'A play activity with rules that involve conflict' which is an easy way to put it. In fact it is more complicated than that especially when you compare different game styles. To get a solid meaning of what a game might be, you have to be using the same vocabulary across all games, which is still being defined as new games come out and new words are added.  To put simply these are some of the definitions when it comes to games: Games are an activity  Games have rules, conflict, goals and involve decision making.  Games are artificial, safe and outside of ordinary life.  We, as players gain no material gain And many more When it comes to game ideation, from the paper that I read, the interviewees have seen game ideas d...

Prototype

  (image of character pack on unity,  source ) This week I started on my prototype and I first went looking for some assets I could use in my game. I found the above free character pack in unity which also includes the animations I need for the game like running and jumping. I also looked for a map that I can keep repeating in the game. I found something which works but I'm not sure if it will be my final map I use for the game. It is found at this  link . Another thing I found in the asset store was an Endless Runner sample game that is completed and I got that asset so I can use it as a point of inspiration and help if I get stuck in the future. The game asset is found at this  link . I then wanted to focus on my player movements and I found a tutorial that went over the movements of a character in an endless runner. It is found at this  link . I made the character run, jump, go left and right which as the movements he'll need in the game. I took my time with ...
