unity free tutorials

So for today's unity tutorial we got to go out and find two of are own tutorials. I  enjoyed this very much because It gave me a chance to find out some very useful things that I hope to use in my final gamw. Some of the previous unity tutorials were good but they did not help me much with the things I want to do ion my final game.

The first tutorial that I watched and completed was called "HOW TO RANDOMLY SPAWN ENEMY POSITIONS WITH C# UNITY TUTORIAL" . this seemed like a very complicated thing at first but when I got into it it turned out to be a lot simpler then I had first imagined. first thing I did was  bring  previous enemy I had been working with. I first added in a cue and brought it to where I wanted the enemy to spawn. then I had to go into the code and fill in all the variables so the enemies could actually spawn after I did that it was pretty plain sailing. I am delighted that I now know how to do this and I will definitely use this in my final game as it will add a bit more of a challenge than just having enemies stay in the same place all the time.

The second tutorial that I attempted was called "Unity Moving Platform Tutorial". This tutorial was very interesting as I am planning to make a platformer game so having moving platforms could add another lay of fun and challenge to my final game. First thing I did was import a character that I got off the unity store. I went for a green like alien. Then I added some simple cubes to start off with and I adjusted their height and width to what I felt looked the best . I had a bit of trouble trying to adjust the middle shape but I eventually got my platform to move. This tutorial was not as good as some of jimmy vegas ones but it still worked great.

Overall I learned some great skills that I can apply to my final game so this task was a great success.

Introduction Post

My name is Aaron Comiskey and I am 20 years old. I currently study CDM in Blanchardstown and I love the course. I live in Kilmessan, Meath with my family but I hope to move out soon when I get enough money together. I want to be a video editor when I am finished college and maybe work for companies such as BBC or RTE(you have to aim big or you will fail). During this term I want to get better at all things to do with video but I also want to give the other stuff like web design and game development a chance as I may end up loving them and actually want to go into that area after college. I have many hobbies. I am big into the gym and love lifting weights , it makes you feel better and look better so why not do it. I love football and I am a huge Manchester United fan even though we are rubbish now. I play tennis the odd time when I am not too busy also. I post fitness content online not to show off my body or muscles (even though I am proud of the results) More so that I can keep u...

unity fail

to be brutally honest I never understood unity at all this year and tried to mainly focus on the readings and all the extra credit. hoping that would be enough to pass this course. I still have very high points as I have done so many extra credit and all the blogs / unity tutorials. I have a game started but to be honest it was a mess and with al;l the other assigments it is not going well. I will try get more of it done to show on wednesday but I am not too confident. over this course I have really enjoyed the readings and I have done the extra credit lots but my final game is kinda all over the place. I wanted to do a platformer but that failed big time and the coding in this just makes no sense at all to me.

Unity tutorial 01

The first thing that I did before I started the tutorial was to watch all the jimmy vegas videos linked on the website., these really gave me a great starting place before I actually attempted the tutorial for myself. The tutorial that I did was the first one I saw called the creator dev . It was an alien shooter game. The really good thing was that you actually got to play the game before you went to make it so you could get a glimpse of how the mechanics were meant to work. The part I enjoyed the most was making my own enemies to shoot. I was disappointed that there was only really two character prototypes to go off but I did the most with them that I could. I found it very difficult to connect different pieces of the course together and make them actually work but eventually I got it right and it was pretty satisfying.This unity tutorial was very good but in general it was very limited and I am excited to get into more in depth unity tutorials in the very near future. overa...
