Tech-Tip: Hashtags and Retweets

  Screenshot of what I retweeted For this week's extra credit task, I decided to do the retweeting and using hashtags. The image above shows what I've retweeted. This image came up when I searched #OU3043 and I really like this painting because of its contrast and how the light focuses on the center of the painting making its viewers look straight into the middle. I also tried to look up some hashtags and I found a lot of essential and interesting artworks from #cartoon #art that I checked. I love drawing and I am starting to find my own style and I think that this would really help me improve my drawing skills.

Unity Tutorial 04

  A screenshot of my work while adding animation A screenshot of the errors I've encountered. Hi guys, this week's tutorial is getting more difficult as we have to add an animation to the game to show that the player is moving physically in the game and we also have to do the same for the Enemy Controller. However, after fixing the errors from last week, another problem occurred while I am at the end of the last tutorial. My Enemy Controller is only moving to the right and I do not know how to fix that. There was also an error saying that the code "Move X" and "broken" does not exist even though it was the right code from the tutorial. Even though I was having a lot of trouble completing this week's tutorial, I was able to fix myPlayer Controller and add a projectile to it which was her weapon.  I still could not complete this week's tutorials but I will try my best to fix them the next week!

Reading 05 : Tips for doing research

  Pictures of some of the Articles I have completed reading For this week's reading task, I am glad that I was already doing the techniques that were instructed for us to do. I was very delighted as I was already highlighting important things before as I read the essential articles that I have collected from last week. This was the reason why I was behind with work because it is taking me a while to read an article as I was taking notes while I go through the article to help me save time when I started to write my annotated bibliographies. I also found out that I can insert the PDFs to the Notes application on my tablet therefore it made it easier for me to work and read the articles even though I am not working on my table. During this week, I tried my best to read the rest of the articles I have found and started writing my annotated bibliographies in a more detailed version and make sure that the articles must but useful to my topic. Coding the articles to take notes is very hel

Reading 04 Analysis

  Controller picture For this week's reading tasks, I have to collect more research about my topic. I needed to have at least 6-7 more articles to read. I find these tasks very challenging as I could spend reading one article for more than an hour because I have to check some of the words' meaning to help me understand. I spent the whole weekend researching my topic and I did not have any trouble finding useful articles because I learned a few keywords from last week's reading task. I also realized that we can access few libraries by signing up with our student account and this really helped me to access several useful articles. I added the links of the articles on my word document to help me find them in case I deleted them by accident. To secure the research I have collected more, I also added the documents on my RefWorks account. This also helped me to check the documents I have read and created a bibliography quicker. It also took me more time to write my annotated bibl

Unity Tutorial 03

  A screenshot of my work showing the collectibles not working. A screenshot of my work having another error. I was having trouble completing the tutorial for this week's Unity Tutorial. I encountered several errors along the way and I was not sure why because my coding was working perfectly fine last week. I also tried to redo the tutorial but I still could not pinpoint what was the problem. It was very bothersome for me as well trying to find out what was the problem. I was thinking that it has something to do about the tilemaps but I couldn't figure it out still :(. Unfortunately, the only thing that worked for me was being able to make my player work again and I ended up not having the collectibles to work at all. Therefore, I decided to try again this week, and hopefully, it will get better! I apologize for having a short blog this week. I will try my best to try again this week!

Tech Tip: Twitter Widget

  Screenshot of my blog showing my Twitter Widget. Hi guys, welcome back to my blog! For this week, (4th week Twitter task) I decided to redo my widget on my blog account since I changed my theme, why not change it as well? Right? Hahaha. I used my personal Twitter account as that is where I post my Unity tutorials and reading updates as well. The Tech Tip instructions are very easy to follow and you guys should check it out! :)

Reading 03

                                             Reflection An image of the notes I wrote while reading the Articles. Hi everyone! For this week's reading task, we were instructed to set up our research about the topic we chose for our Writing project. We will also have to create annotated bibliographies for the first three articles, books, or documents that we have discovered as well as writing a short summary. At first, I found it challenging to start doing my research as I do not have enough effective keywords that I could use. Therefore, I only found few books that I thought would be useful for my chosen topic.  Before starting this project, I was confident that I had enough knowledge about the Hierarchy of challenges in gameplay. However, I was wrong as this topic is very broad and it was difficult for me to find the specific articles and documents that I needed. I decided to do everything again from the start where I look up useful keywords that would work for the topic and I als
