Unity Tutorial 02

Lesson 1.4 

I was really looking forward to finding out how the player could actually interact and drive the car using the controls. In the first set of unity tutorials I kept asking myself "when will I be able to drive it?" so I got excited following this tutorial today! It is mostly to do with coding but unity has a really helpful axes menu that has all the movements programmed for you so you just have to put in the code for GetAxis. I'm still very confused on the coding in visual studio but I feel like if I do some challenges myself I will be able to understand it more clearly. It's all to do with practicing and leaving it up to yourself to figure it out because at the end of the day you're your own best teacher. I went back on the first tutorials just to remind myself what Time.DeltaTime was because it just disappeared from my head. 


LOOK AT MY CAR ROTATE!!


The first challenge : Quiz plane programming 

When I first started this challenge everything I learned just went out the window. I became confused but I was slowly able to understand as they have everything written down for you in the scripts, You just have to rearrange some things and add a little bit of code here and there. I do have to admit that I went back on the hints in the challenge tutorial. Also looking back on the previous unity tutorials helped so much. I even went as far as making the propeller move because I slowly understood the dynamics of the rotate code! I'm very proud of myself although I did have to google a lot. The propeller has its own file in the player folder so you just have to make a new script for it and drag it into all the other scripts for the challenge. I suggest looking back over your notes and taking down things that you would normally forget like the Time.DeltaTime because when I forgot I got extremely confused as my plane wasn't moving properly. Don't forget to drag your player file into your main camera (you'll understand once you get to it) I don't really know how to speak in terms of Unity so pardon my english. 


plane progress!

An Introduction to Frodo (and me)

 Hi! My name is Anna Zurawska and I am a second year Creative Digital Media student.  My first ever year of college was a once in a lifetime experience and I'm so happy that I chose this course, it opened my eyes and it made me use parts of my brain that I didn't know were possible to reach. I never thought I would be able to find softwares such as Photoshop and Illustrator straightforward. I'm so happy how my assignments and projects turned out and I can't wait for what second year has to offer. I don't really want to talk about the pandemic because I know a lot of people are sick of hearing about it so I'm just going to show everyone my cat that I got over the break 😁😁. Frodo sleeping anywhere and evrywhere The first picture is a recent one I took, look how big he is compared to the second one !! Frodo in the first pic looking at my cockatiel like she's a big juicy steak His name is Frodo and he sleeps 22 hours a day. Whenever my boyfriend comes home fro

The components of Game Design

What is a Game, Anyway? The following consists of key excerpts taken from an article by Ian Schreiber. It aims to discuss one's definition of a what a game is.  Schreiber (2009) discusses that many games have similar contrasting ideas. For instance, dots and boxes present the user with a simplistic objective of whoever attains the most boxes wins the game. The same mechanics apply to Tic-tac-toe. Therefore, it is important to clarify the differences between games. A substantial amount of individuals have clashing definitions in terms of what a game is, but all have equal elements. The components of an enticing experience can incorporate conflict, a set of rules, a problem solving task as well as an out of body experience yet all require interaction. A game does not essentially call for technology for the experience to be stimulating, there can be colossal subsets to a game. A game may be as straightforward as "tossing a ball around", as Schreiber (2009) states "play

Game Design Document

 I created my first ever Game Design Document, I felt like the reading task this week helped me a lot on my journey. Dundoc has some extremely useful game design document templates that are nicely organised into different titles such as technical, sounds, game introduction etc. I looked at other students game design documents whenever I was stuck on specific things and I found it 100 times easier. The template looks daunting at first but I promise it's not as bad as it looks! Here is the link to my Game Design Document Here is a picture of my game design document (might have the chance the name to my game title) I will make several changes throughout the semester so I can fill out as much information as possible. Right now I haven't made the game so when my vision comes alive I will include screenshots and information architecture.
