( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/man-collect-rubik-cube-timer-championship-concept-man-collect-rubik-cube-timer-championship-concept-player-brainstorming-128571185.jpg ) For this module I have to design my own game using Unity. I have to follow game tutorials on Unity weekly to help me with these games. The one I had to follow this week was a tutorial for a driving game where you drive a vehicle and smash into obstacles. I would like to make a driving game for this module as I already have experience making a driving game on Unity and I have always enjoyed driving games myself. I am now going to list four ideas I have for my own game. ( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/driving-car-highway-close-up-hands-steering-wheel-71974896.jpg ) Idea 1 The first idea I have is for a racing game. I want to have at least six vehicles, more if possible having to race against each other and possibly include a time limit. Rather than something as simple as the vehicles just being able to drive around a ...

Unity Tutorial 01

Image
Image of the vehicle I chose for the Unity tutorial. For this weeks task we had to look at a series of Unity tutorials that we will be using for our game that we will be making for this module. For lesson 1 we learned how to set up Unity and our game. I also learned how stressful it is to use Unity without a mouse. First of I had to download files and put them in a folder called course with code and then open that folder in Unity. I then had to add a vehicle from the hierarchy menu to my game. I chose a tank. I had to place the tank on the road that came with the tutorial sample. I then had to place an object from the hierarchy menu onto the road in front of the tank. I chose a box. After I did all this I learned how to move the camera around and I had to position the camera behind the vehicle. This was the most difficult part of the first lesson. After I did all this I had to change the layout of my screen. I moved the game view on my screen beneath the scene view so now my game is in...

Feedback Thoughts

  ( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/icons-customer-satisfaction-positive-neutral-negative-isolated-white-background-represents-feedback-three-dimensional-69929892.jpg ) For this post I will be talking about feedback. Feedback is a very important thing when it comes to work whether it be positive feedback or negative feedback. It is important to always go to your lecturers for feedback so you know if your work is ok. If your lecturer gives you positive feedback for your work and tells you that everything is ok then you know that your work is ready to submit and that you have done well however if they give you negative feedback then they will tell you what changes need to be made to your work and you must make these changes in order to do well. In order to write this post I had to read two articles from a list of articles on the class website. The first one was "Seven Ways To Crush Self-Doubt". The first one was "Don't Compare Yourself To Others". When I was doing...

( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/pacman-ghosts-s-computer-game-icons-set-vector-colour-pixelated-retro-32825491.jpg ) What is a game A game is a form of art. It is a play activity with a set of rules that players are given and the player who follows the rules the best is usually the player that wins. Games date back to centuries ago. A game doesn't necessarily mean a video game. A game is simply just something that you can play with a set of rules so when someone says "let's play a game" that can mean Super Mario Bros, it can mean football or it can simply mean hide and go seek. A game will consist of rules, resources,  actions, a story and plenty of other elements. For our readings an example of a game given was 3 to 15. 3 to 15 is a game where 2 players have to collect 3 numbers from 1-9 that add up to 15. First you must write up the numbers 1-9 on a sheet of paper. Players then take it in turns choosing a number and then they cross that number out from the sheet s...
