Unity Tutorial 03

Unity Lesson 2 screenshot.

This week's Unity Lesson is about making a new game where we have to feed the animals. We also have to know how to do Player Positioning, Food Flight, and Random Stampede.

Last night, I was having trouble with the Unity website because it won't play the video tutorials and the software wasn't working properly. Fortunately, when I tried again this morning it starts to work fine. When I started the lessons, I didn't have any problem completing them because they are explained well and it was straightforward. I'm also becoming more comfortable doing the lessons and the tools are more familiar to me now which I am happy about.

Here are the things that I learned while doing the lessons:

Lesson 2.1

New functionality - Where the player can move left and right based on which one the user's presses (L&R keys). I also learned that the player will not be able to leave the play area on either side

New skills/Concepts:

if-statements
adjusting the object scale
greater/less than operators

Lesson 2.2

New functionality - Where the player can press the Spacebar to launch a projectile prefab. The projectile and Animals are removed from the scene if they leave the screen.

New skills/Concepts:

Creating Prefabs
Override Prefabs
Test for Key presses
Instantiate objects
Destroy objects
Else-if statements

Lesson 2.3

New functionality - The player can press the S button to release/spawn an animal. The animal selection and spawn location and randomized and the camera projection such as perspective and orthographic were introduced as well.

New skills/Concepts:

Spawn Manager
Array"[]"- numbered list of objects starting at 0 making it easy for us to select if we want the object 0,1,2 and so on.
Keycodes
Random Generation
Local vs Global variables
Perspective vs Isometric Projections

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...

Tech-Tip: Animated Gif

Hi guyssss! How you keeping with the modules? I feel I haven't been doing blogs for ages hahaha. I really miss writing in a more friendly vibe blog since we were told to write in an academic style, I've been trying to do it for most of my blogs. Since this is just a simple task, I decided to write it comfortably. For this blog, I made a quick and simple animated gif where I compiled some of the images that I took in college during our photography lab. I decided to use these images because I really miss going to college and even though I always get tired walking up the hill hahaha. I always love the sunset view from our campus and it's one of the things I missed apart from hanging out with my friends in C-block.😭 Now I feel sad reminiscing my college days when we can actually go there hahaha. Anyway, I hope you are doing well during the lockdown. Don't overwork yourself too much! Watch anime or Korean drama and I promise you, you will not regret it!! You should try ...
