Unity Tutorial 05

Hello
Welcome to my blog

Today I looked at more unity tutorials. These were found on the unity website. I looked at  "Lesson 2.4 - Collision Decisions" and the challenge "Challenge 2 - Play Fetch". These helped me with my own game making skills.

The first tutorial I looked was "Lesson 2.4 - Collision Decisions" and this was about all about spawns and how to use colliders. I have used spawning in the pervious tutorials but I still learned more from this. In this tutorial looks at colliders and I learned how to use colliders and how to control from unity and not the script. I also learned how to add colliders and to change them using a script.

The second tutorial was a challenge on what I learned from the last few tutorials. I used what I pervious learned to make a little game. For this I had to spawn balls for the dog in the game out of the player and if the balls hit near the dog the ball would disappear. I did using scripts and colliders so this made the game into a fetch game.

Overall this tutorial and challenge have taught me a lot and I have learned how use spawning and to use box colliders and I am able to use these in my further game design.

Hello 

Welcome to my blog 

Today I was looking at more unity tutorials and I was learning more about coding and game design. I looked at tutorials I found on the Unity website and I looked at three tutorials. 

I looked at Lesson 2.1 - Player Positioning, Lesson 2.2 - Food Flight and Lesson 2.3 - Random Animal Stampede.

The first tutorial looked at Lesson 2.1 - Player Positioning in this tutorial it was used to help set up the game and how to get the player to move so this is the simple set up to start the game so it was a good way to start this process.

The second tutorial I looked at Lesson 2.2 - Food Flight  this tutorial goes into more detail. This should me how to use prefabs and and how to use more coding to use items in the game. 

The last tutorial 2.3 Lesson 2.3 - Random Animal Stampede like how to control the spawn of the characters in a game. This is a big part of game design and will help me with my own game making as controlling spawning in a game is important.

Overall this these tutorials  have helped learn important things about game d

Hello
Welcome to my blog

This week I continued my research and looked at few looked at other sources that i was able to find online. the two topics that I am looking at for the book is gameplay analysis and Game Design Tools. So went to look for sources about these online.

I first looked at Gameplay analysis research and i was able to find "Game analysis: Developing a methodological toolkit for the qualitative study of games" by Mia Consalvo, Nathan Dutton this scholar article  talked about methodological toolkit for game design so this article talks about sort of way to approach game design it talks about a few games and how this approach to game design applies to these games and how they were designed. It also goes into detail about how to approach object inventory and other main parts of a game.

The second topic I looked was "Game design tools: Time to evaluate" by Katharine Neil this evaluates game desgin tools and what games will be like without them and games designers use the tools to make the games. So this goes deep into how game design tools work and how important there to game design.

Unity Tutorial 02

                                     Unity Tutorial

Hello

Welcome to my blog

Today I looked at unity Tutorials I found on the Unity website. I looked at the first three tutorials all about start of making a game.

The first tutorial I looked at was Lesson "1.1 - Start your 3D Engines" This tutorial showed me how to start up unity and how to get set up for my the game I'm making with these tutorials. The second tutorial I looked at was "1.2 - Pedal to the Metal" This tutorial showed how to add objects into the game, how to make the vehicle move and how to control the speed of the vehicle. I also learned how to start using c script. For the third tutorial we started using "1.3 - High Speed Chase" this showed me how have the camera fixed on the player vehicle and how to change the speed of the vehicle and to change the colour tint of the playmode on Unity.

All of these tutorials have helped me start making a game and I have got a better understanding of how the Unity works and how I can use c script to change elements of the game to improve the game and fix problems I have with it.
