Unity Tutorial 5

 

Lesson 3 Screenshot

For this week's Unity Tutorial, we started a new lesson that is more advance than the previous lessons that we completed. I find it interesting because I learned that some games are just using the same images and have a special code for it to look endless. The Player also was able to run and jump over the obstacles even though it doesn't maneuver from its current spot. This is where the repetition of the background helps as it gives an illusion effect to the player making it look like it's moving.

What I like about this lesson is that there are more choices in characters, obstacles, and especially the background images. I also learned how to change the physical movement of the player in Animator which is a good idea to have especially when you are just starting to use Unity for your game and you are getting familiar with the tools and what they can offer.

Overall, the Lesson is challenging especially the last part where I was going through the Animator because I wasn't using the same version as the one from the video.


Here are all the things that I learned from the Lessons I completed this week:

Lesson 3.1

New Functionality:

  • The player jumps when the  space bar is pressed
  • The player cannot jump twice
  • Obstacles and Background move  to the left
  • Obstacles are spawn at intervals
Concepts and skills:
  • GetComponent
  • ForceMode.Impulse
  • Physics.Gravity
  • Rigidbody constraints/variables


Lesson 3.2


New Functionality:
  • Background repeats seamlessly
  • The background stops when the players collide with the obstacles
  • Obstacle spawning stops when the player collides with obstacles
  • The obstacles are destroyed off-screen
Concepts and skills:
  • Repeating backgrounds
  • Get collider width
  • Script Communication
  • Equal to (==) operator
  • Tags/ CompareTag()

Lesson 3.3


New Functionality:
  • The player moves at a fast pace when starting the scene
  • There is a jumping animation when the player jumps on the obstacles
  • The player falls over when they crash against the obstacles
Concepts and skills:
  • Animation Controllers, Animation States, Layers, and Transitions
  • Animation Parameters
  • Animation Programming
  • SetTrigger(), SetBool(), SetInt()
  • Not (!) operator

    Hey Flosie,

    It's been a minute since I've been here firstly I miss being in your class! Hope your well. You really explained this set of Unity tutorials really well I think anyone would be able to follow along with these and do them even without the Unity videos. I would definitely agree with you saying that this set was more advanced than the other two sets but I did enjoy the challenge I can't lie.

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...
