Unity Tutorial 04

 Continuing from last weeks unity tutorial were are back working the the animals. I started off by learning how to spawn the random animal automatically which is going to help me a lot because In my game I want random enemies to appear from the top of the screen which is helpful for me and my game idea. Learning these small things of unity is easy to follow and I haven't found a problem with it so far. I also fully learned on how to destroy objects on collision with the prefabs which is a big relief as this is the whole purpose of my game idea. These two were the two biggest learning points for me for the first part of this unity tutorial.


I then tried to do the challenges where I did start to struggle doing them by myself as I was so used to following along with the videos with step 7, which felt a bit bad because I thought I had messed up code from before hand. But I just forgot add the 3rd object into my code without noticing but I felt a huge sigh of relief 


After that challenge I then moved on to Lab 2. Where I had to make my own Primitive objects. This was slightly harder than all the stuff I had done before but was also very useful for my game idea as it helped me gain new ideas like the powerups which was very useful for me. This one took the longest for me to understand for sure but I did get there in the end 


And then at the end I took the quiz and got a disappointing 4/10. But I can always look back and improve myself as I do not have to go completely solo for making my final game


This image tells us that if the player collides with the object that the object will be destroyed instead of the player

Project Process

Image
I have started to build my first 2D game today. I started this by opening up the Unity Hub and started a new project. I went into this project with one image only. That being a plain white square that I would use as my building blocks for making this game possible. I started off simple by making the white cube my player and added my movement script. So he can move side to side. I did say in my game document I would like it to be a constant movement to the right but I say it would be a little too difficult for the pace I had made the game. I had also added a jumping mechanic too to the player. I had also so far stuck with my colour scheme with the black and red I believe it works very well and it helps contrasts all the different surroundings in the game When I move on to next weeks tasks I will want it so the purple cube causes the player to die and restart at the start of the level again. I also need it so when the player falls through the map he also dies so I will need to try figure...

Tutorial 03

 This week took a long time to do compared to last week. As there was so much scripting to try to understand between both of the tutorials we had to do. But once again some of it looking very familiar from last semester using voids, if statements and floats again for the first time in a while. In the first tutorial I done I was working with making a health system for Ruby. This was a lot of scripting today to make all of this possible I first added a health stat to him and made him lose 1 if he took damage from an entity. I then also made a health collectible in game that would add a life bar back to the player. In world interactions I then worked on making these things interactable such as giving Ruby health back in the game when the collectible is touched. I started working with triggers again which I also had experience from last semester the only difference was the 2D at the end. Using health in the 2D seems a lot easier than the 3D from last year and I have most definingly lea...

Tutorial 05

 Doing this weeks tutorials seemed to be going quicker than the rest and I feel like this will help me making my final game for this semester and that these two tutorials will bring me a long way into making my game perfect. Starting off with the camera. Cinemachine was very easy to install and import to my game . Cinemachine helped me control my camera settings much easier to my main character. And was a lot different in what I had to do last semester and all the scripting that came along with that. I found this a bit easier to use in my opinion but maybe that is because I had a hand to hold while using it reading the tutorial. But this will help me when I want to stop the camera from going outside the map and I believe will make my game a lot better if I do decide to do something similar to this. Moving on to making the particles. This section was very long to read through and I found myself missing a few lines while reading. But overall this part was easy enough. I had some use ...
