Unity Tutorial 7

 

ScreenShot of the game so far lesson 4.2

For this week's Unity Tutorial Lesson, we are learning how to control the player in this hexagonal type of game area. This type of game really gives an exciting feeling and would increase your adrenaline rush as you have to control the ball to prevent it from falling. Even me, as the one who was trying to make this game, is having difficulty when playing it. (I'm just bad at games hahaha)

I find the tutorials for this lesson as straightforward and clear. I also try to take notes while listening to the speaker in case the coding he was using would be helpful for my game. The last Lesson for this week might be useful for my game as it shows how to include power-ups during the game and it's one of the main things I want to add to my game.


Here are the lists of the things that I learned from this week's tutorial:

Lesson 4.1

New functionality:

  • The camera rotates around the island based on horizontal input giving the whole gameplay area a more flexible view.
  • Player rolls in direction of the camera based on vertical input which adds more obstacles during the game.

New concept & skills:

  • Texture wraps on the ball
  • The camera as a child object
  • Global Vs Local coordinates
  • Get the direction of another object


Lesson 4.2

  • New functionality:
  • Enemy spawns at a random location on the island.
  • Enemy follows the player around with a controlled speed.
  • Spheres bounce off at each other.
New concept & skills:
  • Physics Material (bounce)
  • Defining Vectors in 3D space.
  • Normalizing values
  • Methods with return values.

Lesson 4.3

New functionality:
  • When the player collects a power-up, a visual indicator appears.
  • When the player collides with an enemy while they have the powerup, the enemy goes flying.
  • After a certain amount of time, the power-up ability and indicator disappear.
New concept & skills:
  • Debug concatenation (chain or continuity)
  • Local component variables
  • IEnumerators and WaitForSeconds()
  • Coroutines
  • SetActive(true/false)

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...
