Reading 11

 


Image of my chapter

This week we finished off our book happy days. We had to make any final edits to our. chapter. I had to add my introduction and I also had to shorten my chapter. I looked through my chapter and took out any information that I felt was unnecessary just to make it shorter because at the beginning I thought it would have to be incredibly long but thankfully it didn't and I preferred that I had too much instead of too little because it's easier to cut things out as opposed to adding things. This turned out to be easier than I thought I was properly panicked at the beginning of the semester when we were told we had to write a book but it got easier as time went on. Next I will have to agree for my chapter to be in the book and I will also have to add the interactive game I made for my book to my chapter. I look forward to seeing the finished result of our book at the end of the semester.

My thoughts on assignments

  ( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/teenage-boy-sitting-desk-doing-homework-assignment-laptop-teenage-boy-sits-desk-doing-homework-assignment-laptop-157829004.jpg ) My first impression for this module was that it was going to be a very hard one. When I did my PLC in Dunboyne I did a game design module which I found very hard and very boring as game design isn't something I am very interested in however the more I looked into it the more confident I felt. Throughout this module we are given blog topics to do each week and I have to say despite one or two complications they were fairly easy. I enjoyed the blog about my favourite game as I do enjoy playing video games and talking about them. We have been and all will continue to do lots of reading throughout this module and then writing about what we have read which I have to say is very straight forward however I am about worried about the Unity tutorials and designing a game as I have had experience with that in my PLC and didn'...

Game Elements

( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/card-board-game-elements-dice-ideal-background-website-magazines-card-board-game-elements-130373855.jpg ) For this week's task we were given four readings to do on game elements. Game elements are what is needed to make a game. The first reading we had to do was "What are the qualities of a game?'. The reading taught us about game definitions and recurring themes of a game. The recurring themes were rules, conflicts, goals, decision-making and an uncertain outcome. The reading also described games as activities, artificial/safe ordinary outdoor life, voluntary and a form of art to name a few things. The reading also told us about the atomic elements of a game. These atomic elements were players, objectives,  rules, resources and resource management, game state, information, sequencing, player interaction, theme and games as systems. The reading also talked about critical analysis.  It tells us that critical analysis isn't necessarily a...

Unity Tutorial 06

Image from the tutorial For this weeks Unity tutorial I had to continue on from last weeks one. This week I had to learn how to make the player going from a running state when using the running controls, a jumping state when using the jump controls and a death state when the player hit a barrier. To do this I had to use an animation controller.  Animation controller The animation controller is what is used to control the players animations which is pretty self explanatory. The animation controller controlled each state that the player is in so I needed to use it to get him into any one of these three states when needed. When I clicked on walk or run the players animation character walked or ran however when I clicked walk_static or run_static the animation character only ran or walked on the spot. I then had to edit the players condition. I had to change the speed from 0 in order to get him to move. I then had to make the player start off by running. To do this I had to go to the p...
