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 ...

Reading 4

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. For today's reading we had to continue from the research we were doing last week but thew difference was we had to a pply thematic analysis  to your resources and group common themes this week.   The first thing I did was read all the steps very carefully. I liked how it went into detail in discursive writing as that is something I am very passionate about, I used to have a blog years ago when I would be discursive and discuss manchester united games but I gave that up . I completely agree with the point about supporting your argument with evidence as if you do not how is anyone going to trust that what you said is credible  summaries to me are vital , I sometimes read the summary of an article first and that usually gives me a good outlook on if this article will be worth reading or not. today I went and found more resources online which I will add to my matrix. I...

Feedback stratagies

I really enjoyed researching more into feedback and researching into this has opened my eyes up further to how feedback can vary. The first article I read was called what kind of messages help kids grow. the first thing that really struck was the comment about fixed traits and how intelligence is wived as a fixed trait. I can really agree with this as all my school life I just accepted the fact that I was average and not very smart but if I only could have changed my mindset and worked harder I may have became the intelligent one. I do not like good praise like good  they are just empty comments if you really want to praise someone then you should give them feedback on exactly what it is they did good not just say good. My little 6 year old brother always says I cant do stuff but I never let him give up as if he gives up on small things like school homework , what will he do when he is faced with an actual challenge in his life. Overall this article has reminded me that praise ca...

Unity tutorial 2

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...

Game elements

To start off this blog I went ahead and read the article about critical analysis that you had left for us top read. this article was very interesting and I learned a lot that I did not know before about reviews. I now understand that critical analysis is not just a review but it is an unbiased look at the game or movie in full. Anyone can make a review and if they have any ties to the maker of the game/ movie they will rate it high even if it is really awful that is why critical analysis is great as you get a proper all around review. the main aspect of critical analysis is to understand why the game developer chose the elements he did and how they all tie together to make the game complete.Designing a game requires the creation of all of the game’s parts. If you haven’t defined the formal elements of your game in a few ways, then you don’t really have a game at all. The next article I read was the external link you left  (link to article)   this article was over 7 pages ...
