Unity tutorial 06

 

A screenshot of my game.


For this week, we have to design our game by adding a health bar at the top right corner of the screen. We also have to insert a dialogue box for the Non-Player Character which I found really cool as Ruby goes closer to it, the texts appear. This week's tasks are very relaxed because the instructions were easy and straightforward compared to the previous week. Since I completed the first tasks this week earlier, doing the last part was quick and I also found a video on YouTube called Unity 2D Beginner demonstrating the tutorials as well. I recommend everyone who's struggling with Unity Tutorials to check it out because it was very handy to have since we were used to watching tutorials in a video version last semester. I also encountered some problems during this week. Although, they were not major therefore I fixed them after a while.

Here are the lists of the things I have learned this week:

- I have discovered how Unity renders a UI, and how we can use Rect Tool to display the size and element better with multiple scales.

- I also learned how to utilize static members in scripts.

- Singletons are used to make your UIHealthBar script easy to access from anywhere.

-Raycasting is very useful in interactive applications as it helps you to detect things such as Colliders in a certain direction.

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...

Twitter List!

Lee jong Suk giving you flowerrrsss Hi guys! How are you doing? I tried to create a List on Twitter. Link to an external site I have never created a Twitter List before so it is a new experience. I also think that this will be useful to me especially in the future as I want to explore more about animators and designers and learn from them. I also think that creating a list of specific topics would help you to find them easily and it is more organized.

Feedback Stretegies

  Feedforward The first article that I read is called "Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback" by Marshall Goldsmith. He talks about how feedforward is more helpful than getting feedback. I learn that getting a feedback can have a negative effect to the person who is receiving it because they tend to get personal on their suggestions which some people cannot take. This is when Feedforward enters. Feedforwards is all about people listening to suggestions for the future then learn and help as much as they can. There are also eleven reasons to try Feedforward, but I will be only addressing some of them that I find personally works. 1. We can change the future. We can't change the past. Feedforward helps people focus on a positive future and not a failed past. This means that people who use feedforward does not concentrate on the mistakes of what the other person have, instead they give them advices on how to improve their work better for the future. I also think that giving peo...
