Unity Tutorial 03 (accidentally left as draft)

 Lesson 2.1 

After doing my blog on the different game ideas I kept thinking how I could implement some aspects of these tutorials into my games. During this tutorial I learned how to make the player move only back and forth using scripts as well as making invisible walls so the player doesn't go past the camera view. This could definitely work for my bobblehead goalkeeper! We also examined the scale tool as I had to resize an object so the player could see it more clearly. The instructor also examined an "if" statement which I will have to research more about as it's kind of confusing. We used the "if" statement to make the invisible wall so if we go past a certain coordinate, we aren't able to break through it.

 Lesson 2.2

This was a really frustrating lesson as I kept putting the code in the wrong spots. We made the pizza launch by using the spacebar and we also made it so the animals and pizza didn't go past the boundary as well, they would just disappear! We examined many Prefabs and made it so the computer would update anytime the prefabs were used. Previously we learned about the "if" statements but this time we learned about the "else if" statements which I'm still not quite sure on but i'm sure if I do a challenge myself, i'll understand the meaning fully. 

Lesson 2.3

This tutorial was pretty fun as I was able to learn how to spawn animals using the S key while the locations randomised! The instructor also looked at different camera projections.

Overall these tutorials were very overwhelming and long. I don't know what I'm going to do when it comes to making my own game because I found the coding part difficult and I had the answers right in front of me :(.  


look at them animals go!

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

Image
 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.
