Unity Tutorial 01

-


Source

This was my first ever time using Unity and I'm still not too sure how I feel about it. I think that following along the tutorials really helped me out a lot but when it comes to having to create a game on my own with no instructions I might struggle a bit with coming to terms with it, but with that being said I actually enjoyed finding my way around the application and I think with a bit of practice I should be able to manoeuvre around it no problem. I learned how to code in C# which was new for me but I really enjoyed it and it reminded me a little of when we used brackets last year in Web Development.

One thing I found difficult with Unity was placing the vehicles and objects and aligning them correctly, other than that I think the application, along with the coding wasn't too difficult and I didn't have many problems.

I'm looking forward to continuing with the tutorials so I can learn some more tips and tricks within Unity that I may be able to use help me when it comes to creating my own game in the application, and also if I ever decide to create games in the future than I will have a good amount of knowledge of the application to do this.

Tutorial 06

Personal Screenshot from Unity Hub For this weeks Unity tutorial I had to add a health bar on to the screen of the game, to do this I had to develop a user interface into the game.  To start I had to create a canvas for the health bar by making a rectangle shape and then adding in an image into the space and also used the masking tool to show when he health declines when she's hit. In the second part of the tutorial we had to add in world interactions into the game and also some ray casting, which made the world look a little bit more natural and added in things like shadows to the characters for when they're in different lighting. We also cleaned up our scripts a little bit and just took out some of the code that wasn't needed at this stage.  I found some parts of this week's tutorial quite difficult but I got there in the end. I'm not too sure what else we can add to the game but I look forward to finishing it soon.

Game Jam Reflective Report

 When I first heard about Game Jam at the start of the semester I wasn't too interested in applying to participate because my coding skills and game development skills aren't too strong. But as it got closer to the time of game jam I decided to just apply anyway because it's something I've never done before and it was a chance to meet some new people from other campuses and also to try and strengthen my game design skills over the weekend event. As a whole I really enjoyed the whole weekend and I was really happy with my team, we worked very strongly together and each of us had something different to bring to the team throughout the process.  I think the format of Game Jam was really good, I liked that we were put with people we knew but also people we didn't know, so it wasn't as nerve wrecking having someone you know within the team opposed to being with all strangers. I also liked that it was a 3 day thing and not something stretched over throughout the semes...

  Image Source UX design is an abbreviation for User Experience design. It is concerned with how people interact with products and services. It includes everything from digital products like websites and apps to everyday appliances like phones and toasters. UX is not a new concept. Engineers and product designers have been researching this issue for decades in order to improve design. Nowadays, the human factor is being emphasized even more.  Donald Norman, a user experience architect at Apple, coined the term UX. He used it to cover all aspects of system experience. Industrial design, graphics, software interface, physical interaction, and even the user manual were all included. A content management system, also known as a CMS, is the control system for a website where web content is managed and maintained. Everything from editing text and adding images to creating galleries is managed by content management systems. The CMS is where new web content, such as onsite pages and b...
