hello everyone so
For this week we had to research more on our chosen topics, we  had to research and look into it a good bit more and write down our main ideas on Microsoft excel which you can see below.
I struggled with understanding this matrix but this is only the very start I hope to add this this most days.
I found that the planning stage I did last week actually helped me immensely when doing this research. I have got about 5 articles now that are I like. I will hopefully try get some books from the library on my topics soon. 


at the beginning I got really put off by the crazy wording of all this but once I cleared my head and broke it down fully I got a grasp on it(I think).

I looked up different articles about it on  Google scholar and TU Dublin's archives and I found a lot of more then I though I ever would .I will go way more in depth with my research in the coming weeks but I am really impressed at how well I have done so far and how many great usable sources of information I have actually found.

I am still not 100% sure that I am doing this right, but I am going to keep going as I am enjoying the research stage quite a lot to be honest and will put more effort in as the weeks go by.

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...
