                       Unity Tutorial 05 This is the unity tutorial I had done for this task So for this Unity Tutorial called "Make the World Whiz", I had learned how to make the player jump by pressing the space bar to jump over oncoming obstacles coming the player's way. I also learned how to make the background repeat again and again so it doesn't let the player go off into the distance of nothingness when running but instead the background is repeating so that it looks like we are on the map. I also learned how to make the player collide with an obstacle but whenever the player hits the obstacle they will be presented with a game over and the whole game will stop along with the player and the background. I also learned how to spawn obstacles and keep them spawning towards the player going left. I found this tutorial is definitely the best one I did because it has pretty much all the elements of an endless running game that...

  Comments and Feedback  https://www.blogtyrant.com/get-more-comments/ Introduction So for this blog, I will be writing about the feedback I have been getting and the feedback I have been leaving for other students and the blog comments I have been leaving on students blogs.  Feedback In  The feedback that I have been taking in from the past couple of weeks from other students I have found to be quite positive and uplifting. These comments I have been receiving had actually motivated me to do better with my project/game. The quality of the feedback I feel is quite helpful, most of them I saw were using the WWW (Wow, Wonder, What if) method and the TAG (Tell, Ask, Give) method that I had been using too and it honestly works well. The comments I found to be the most useful are the ones giving me suggestions on how to improve on my game, what I can do to alter any issues relating to the game and giving me suggestions on what I can add to the game to make the game a way ...

  Alpha  This is my progress, I have updated the HUD and I added a few more features in the environment What is going good? So far so good, the game is coming along well. There are a few scripts I put in such as collecting coins, player movement, environment design, generating random levels and level boundaries.  The Technical Difficulties  But there are a few technical difficulties I am going through which is every time I try to put a rigid body component into my player when I added the jump feature into my player controller script, the player for some reason falls through the map and I tried many times trying to fix the issue but I will try my very hardest to fix it. I also need to add in collision detection with the obstacles and when the player does collide with one of the obstacles it will say game over and you have to restart again. Those are some of the difficulties I am facing, I will try and reach my lecturer or one of my peers in class to see if they know t...

  Unity Tutorial 08 This is the finished product of the Ball Sumo platform game I made from Unity Tutorials I found this tutorial quite fun to do, it was basically an arcade-style sumo game where you need you are ball and control the camera angle moving it left and right and if you move it either position that's where the ball will go. and the up and down key to making the ball go up or down.  The aim of this game was to eliminate the other ball(s) trying to eliminate you from the platform.  The thing that I enjoyed making this game was being able to generate more balls/enemies into the platform when one enemy was eliminated a furthermore will appear to try to eliminate you. And the game progressively harder with more enemies that joined in. I also loved being able to add a powerup feature because this is something I might add into my game to maybe make my character have a certain powerup like having an extra life or prolonged health.   I had finished it and I m...

  Week 9 Reading and Writing https://pixabay.com/illustrations/emoji-happy-smiley-face-smile-5449648/ So now I am currently in Week 9 of the semester, and I must say I have been doing quite well when it comes to the tasks for each week and I have been keeping up with everything. For this blog, I will be talking about how the reading and writing assignments have been working for me during the duration of this module this semester.  For starters, the thing that helped when I was doing these reading and writing tasks was that I was able to really understand what a game was all about. I read about Game Design, Game Elements, GDD's and how to make one and MDA's. My favourite reading that I did overall, has got to be the Game Design Document reading. This taught me what the process is like when making a game and this is where everything begins when trying to make a game. A developer uses a Game Design Document as a memory aid or a communication tool to give themselves and other deve...

  Wikipedia Trail: Confidence  https://www.inc.com/laura-garnett/want-to-be-more-confident-focus-on-this-one-thing.html So for this Wikipedia Trail, I have decided I wanted to do it on the topic of "Confidence" from one of the Extra Credit tasks I was doing recently on the subject of Growth Mindset.  So for the first article, I have read was Confidence  and I chose this article because it dives deep into the basics of confidence, the concept of confidence, the history and also talks about when is confidence used.  The second Wikipedia article I have read was The Law of Attraction , I chose this article because it ties in amazingly with confidence and what it is, is that if you speak a certain thing out into the world you will reap what you sow. So if you speak positively and do positive affirmations then you will experience positive things coming your way and if you think nothing is going your way and you think negatively then negative things will come your way....

  Learning Challenge: The Time You Have (In Jelly Beans) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOksW_NabEk&list=PLrWYQjLLbXci3kvG8y9IsC9hzVdD9miyo&t=161s These are 28,835 jelly beans, which represent the average human life and this is how many days we have on this earth. For this Learning Challenge, I decided to watch a video on a youtube channel that goes by the name of "zefrank1" and this short video talks about our lives and how much time we have on this earth. In the video, there are 28,835 jellybeans being scattered across the ground and all these jellybeans represent the number of days average that we have on this earth. For example, 365 jellybeans mean we spent 1 year or 365 days on this earth since we were born. The thing I already knew before watching this video is that time is very valuable and we must use it to the best of our abilities. Time is neither our enemy nor our friend so it gives us a choice. Either put off work from now on or use now to build a better ...
