Unity Tutorial 02

 

Plane Propeller Link


For this week's lab work, we are instructed to finish the last lesson of our first Unity tutorial and do the first challenge about Plane Programming. 

  • Describe what you have learned from the Lesson 1.4: Step into The Driver's Seat?
From the last lesson 1.4 of the car game, I learned how to add speed on the vehicle by using positive and negative input. For example: if you multiply the speed on a positive unit, the Vehicle with move forward if you press the "up" arrow button on your keyboard and it will move backwards if it is multiplied to a negative unit. I also learned how to rotate the vehicle from left to right by following the same formula as the speed.

I also have to watch the previous tutorial because some of the obstacle objects are not fixed on the ground and when I play the game, they keep falling even before the Vehicle could touch them. Fortunately, I found out why it kept happening, it was because I forgot to drag the obstacle on the mesh collider.
  • What you have enjoyed/found difficult?
What I enjoyed in this week's tasks is that I was able to play the game after all the hard work I did. It feels good when you make everything work and all the effort was worth it. I was having difficulty figuring out the last two challenge of Plane Programming. It took me a while how to make the camera follow the plane and I also looked up how to make the propeller spin at the end.
  • What you are looking forward to?
I am looking forward to learning more programming skills so that I could apply it to my game.

Introduction to a future Animator 😁

If you've been reading my blog post since the day I started, you have read my first introduction. However, I haven't really talked about myself. So in this post, I will along with questions from the tasks we have given. 😁 My photo from last year First of all my name is Flosie Jane Sazon, I am currently a 2nd-year student studying Creative Digital Media at the  Technological University of Dublin located in Blanchardstown Campus. I'm 20 years old (even though I don't look my age 😂) and I have been living in Ireland since I was 13. This course wasn't actually my first choice even though I love art. My first choice was something about business and language which was way different from what I'm doing now, but I'm really happy that I'm doing what I love. Even though there were a lot of times convincing my parents but everything went well in the end.😂😂 What was the best class you took last semester? why? Even though I enjoyed Web Development and Design Proc...

Unity Tutorial 04

This week's tutorial lesson was very straightforward and easy to follow. I also did not have any problem with the Unity tutorial videos and the software this time which I am really glad about. I learned how to apply codes that can destroy the objects when the collision is detected. I also know how to add the "Game Over" message in coding if the farmer missed feeding one of the animals. The tutorial lesson also taught us how to spawn the animals at timed intervals so that the animals will appear randomly on the game. Here are the things that I learned for this week's Unity tutorial: Lesson 2.4 New functionality: Animals are spawned on timed interval and walk down on the screen and the animal gets past the player without getting fed, there's a "Game Over" trigger massage at the left bottom of the screen. When the projectile and animal collide, objects are removed right away. New Concepts/Skills: Create custom methods/functions InvokeRepeating() to repeat c...

Time Strategies

Ancient clock As usual, I have been trying to start my last blog for this week, but because I procrastinate so much I never ended up doing it.  I feel like I always keep saying (I'll do it tomorrow morning), knowing very well that I am actually not a morning person!😂 . Anyways.... I am doing it again, moving away from the main topic. *facepalm* Today I will be talking about the time management which is ironic for me as I have been procrastinating before doing this blog. We were given multiple articles to choose from and read at least 2 of them to help us manage our time and keep our head on track with college work. Even though it is only the 2nd week of semester, we already have plenty of things to do, whether it is a tasks or labs. I've already found myself overthinking and feeling pressured to be able to submit the work on time. I also find it hard to stick to my planned timetable for this specific module that I created last week because there are tasks that kept coming. The...
