Rubys Adventure - Tutorial 04


Hi everyone! Today I went through the tutorials based of animations and the physics system. These were extremely long tutorials and I'm happy to be done with them.

 Sprite Animation

This tutorial was pretty long but I enjoyed making animations for the characters. The 2D animator looks much easier than the 3D animator and I'm proud of myself for understanding it. The animation clips were already provided but I had to put them together and save them for later use. The robot is a little broken because it only goes one direction but that was probably due to the previous tutorial. I like the fact that the finished scripts are at the end of the tutorial because I sometimes find it hard to know where the functions go. 


World Interactions - Projectile 

This tutorial was all about the physics system.  I remember doing this in the 3D tutorials but I found it easier going through the videos on this part. The tutorial didn't really describe the process very well and I found myself asking my friend on how to go about doing it. The cog is supposed to launch out of Ruby but my cog just kept falling down. The scripts at the end helped me fix the situation because when you go through it from the start they only show you bits of the scripts you have to put in so it gets extremely confusing. 


Look at that robot 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

 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.
