For this tutorial I first watched both of the jimmy Vegas videos and then loaded up unity and whenever I got stuck I used the tutorial for a bit of guidance. I like to do it on my own as you learn more than just straight up copying. I enjoyed this tutorial as it was more in depth than the first one and I got to learn more unity skills but overall the tutorial was very outdated and when I tried to do basic stuff like add characters in to places it wouldn't let me. these tutorials are very hard to follow when you do not get any help with them in class but I gave it my best shot.
the first thing you had to do was create a wall to add to your game I found this challenging but very doable. I really liked this tutorial as it was the first real time I have had to use code or script as jimmy vegas calls it. this code is very different than web dev and can be confusing but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. the main problem I had was making sure I had everything under the right type. then I started to add in more objects like water where I had to make a dip first to put it in place. I imported the water in and then placed it into position. I found it quite tricky to place the wall together in this tutorial and had to keep redoing it but I got it eventually.
The second tutorial focused on UI elements and it was altogether very interesting. I liked learning new code such as transform position which allowed you to completely change the position of a certain object. this will come in very handy when I go to make my own game in the near future. the code got kind of annoying when I used cap letters by mistake once but that was just my own stupidity. this game was not as fun as the last alien shooter demo I played but overall it sure did teach me so many skills about coding and placing objects into a canvas which I will need to make my own game.
