The Art Of Gaming

This week was rather difficult for me because I had to figure out how to implement the scoring system and moving obstacles. My level is still not finished as I want to get everything working first before I start working on the level itself.  I looked through some youtube videos that had scoring systems but a lot of them weren't working for my game so I decided to go back to this tutorial  which was 23 minutes long and I managed to get it to work! I added in some gems instead of coins and made them small. I also looked through the assets store and found a nature pack   which looked perfect for my game. I tried adding a grass texture onto my platform but it looked too fake and I like the smoothness of my platform so I left it as is.  I fixed my issue with infinite jumping by going through this tutorial   and I also added moving obstacles. I tried going through different youtube videos but none of them made my obstacles move so I ended up searching it on...

 Lesson 4.1 This lesson is going to be really handy when it comes to my game project as I'm making a sphere game. The instructor made it so the camera rotated around the island itself as well as moving the player. This tutorial basically described what different things we can do with the camera.  enemy pushing the player off the map! Lesson 4.2 In this tutorial we made it so enemies can spawn at random locations and they also follow the player around. I think I will use this mechanic within my game as I want my obstacles to push the player off the map so the "Bounce" physics material will work great. In this game the spheres were able to bounce off each other using this mechanic.  Lesson 4.3 We learned all about powerups in this tutorial. I can't wait to try this out on my own prototype, I'm really happy that he covered this as I wasn't sure if I could find anything on youtube. So when the player hits the powerup (gem), whenever the sphere hits the enemy ball,...

Hi all! I just wanted to briefly talk about the twitter lists I have made. Here is the link to my CDM list and here is a link to my Multimedia / Game Develop list if anyone wants to join! I added all of the people who I follow and who are in my course. This is much better for me than the newsfeed as it gives me an opportunity to see CDM related stuff in general. Sometimes my newsfeed is covered with retweets and likes that I don't really want to see so the twitter list is very useful.  here is the multimedia / game development list that I created on twitter! -Anna Zurawska
