unity tutorial 4

welcome back to my blog guys and today I will be attempting the unity tutorial 4 . I have chosen to do the one with code as the VR one looks a bit complicated. these tutorials were fun to preform but they did cause me a lot of challenges which I will go into in this blog.

                                                                    Lesson 2.1 Player Positioning 

this lesson was very interesting. it started with getting us to create another new project.  I found it very fun when we started adding in animals as it was something that I have never attempted before but I actually got the hang of pretty quickly which surprised me a lot.  step 4 was very hard as I kept missing the place to declare a public float but after I found that the rest of code fell into place.  overall this tutorial was more advanced than anything I have ever attempted in the past but once I broke it down and took my time the code actually started working. 


                                                      Lesson 2.2 Food Flight
the next lesson I did was called food fight. now this one was very cool.  to start off this tutorial you had to attach the script to the food object this was pretty simple.  making a prefab was a complete new thing and this really confused I had to look up so much extra stuff about it to fully understand what it was.  launching the projectile Ising the space bar was actually a lot harder than it should of been but I think I was just being stupid. destroying stuff off screen was very interesting to do but the code was actually a stress to do. overall I got most of the tutorial but the end part would not work so I just moved onto the next one. 

                                                     Lesson 2.3 Random Animal Stampede 
I have to say the 3rd tutorial was extremely hard and my unity kept crashing and saying error butI still gave it a real good go.  the code on this tutorial really got to me and even when I was sure I had it in the right place it still wouldn't work. I will try look into this tutorial more this week as I know it is very important stuff to know. 

overall I am definitely improving with unity a lot this term but I still have a long way to go

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...

Games MDA

https://www.developereconomics.com/break-game-design-part-1-get-started To start off this I watched the video that you linked on the website. The first thing I got from this video was the mechanics and dynamics of a game. these are vital to how you game will look and play. mechanics are the rules or constraints for the game e.g kill 50 zombies on dead island 2 and you complete level 3 .  dynamics go a bit more in depth but they go into what strategies go into figuring out the rules of the game  e.g you have to jump 5 times to kill a mushroom boss in mario 2.  Each game is made up of several different abstractions. the next thing that really made me think was that we need to get past using words such as fun. I fully agree with this as so many different people mind different things fun and others find them boring so instead of using the word fun try use the words "well made".  this article was quite confusing to understand at time but I still do think it gave me...

unity free tutorials

so today I was super busy trying to get an alpha of my website completed so I only got time to do one unity tutorial but the tutorial that I did do has helped me put the final pieces to my game so I am pleased with that aspect of it to be honest. i watched this tutorial . This tutorial was really interesting and I liked how the guy broke it down really well and made it super easy to follow. A main menu is something I should have had before I suppose but i just never thought about it which is stupid I I know.  I liked how it actually was not that hard to code and you could easily change the buttons and menu layout to suit whatever game it was you are making. this tutorial did drag on a good but near the end but I manged to follow it through to the end and I am very happy with what I have learned from it, overall today unity tutorial was great as it really helped me finalize parts of my game and make it look more professional which is exactly what I wanted.
