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...

Game Idea Research

Maze Inspiration Last week, I started to collect some game ideas and talk about what we like about them. However this week, we have to choose on out of all the game ideas we picked. The game that I decided to do is similar to "Roller Splat!" but in 3D instead because that is the type of game we are learning in Unity. I think that it will be helpful as I can utilize the skills that I learned from the tutorials to my project instead of studying another type of game. I will have more time to develop my game better if I stick to 3D style as well. Choosing this type of game is also a good starter, especially for people who want to make a game for the first time like me. My game will also be played in a first person point of view means that the camera of will be placed at the back following the ball inside the maze. While doing my secondary research, I find countless of game tutorials on YouTube that are related to the idea I am going for. Most of them are also made in Unity which...

Exploring Game Design

Inspiration image about discovering new things We started this week's tasks by reading articles about defining what a game is to a more detail and in depth explanations. I used to define "game" as one or multiple players who works together to complete certain tasks with a set of rules that they must follow whether they win or lose. However if I put more thoughts into it, the definition gets more profound and brings me more in depth about what a game truly is. As I read though the first article that was talking about particular definitions of what a game is depending on how much interaction they have with it. For example, the more interest they have about games the more knowledge they can share with people. There is an interpretation from the article that I like based on a book called "Rules of Play" by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman. They explained that games are a "system in which players engage in an artificial, defined by rules, that results in a quanti...
