Unity Toutorial 03

 I have just completed  this weeks Unity tutorials, which are Lessons 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. I found these tasks very enjoyable and challenging as there were a few part I had to watch back a few times to figure out where I was going wrong. 

This week the tutorial was based around a animals and pizza. Yes you read that correctly. It basically consisted of three animals, a farmer and pizza. The main objective of the game is to feed the animals food to stop them. You would generate the pizza by pressing down the space bar and use the S key to spawn animals randomly around game. This is an area I found a tad confusing. So we had to use animal prefabs and place them in the spawn manager. This came easy however when righting the code for the spawn manager I misspelled several key phrases and cause the game to not operate correctly. After comparing my code to the code in the tutorial I realized I had added letter and was missing some letters as well. (Thanks Dyslexia.).

I was actually really happy once I got it working and felt a little bit proud especially after last weeks failure. It's kinda weird if you asked me two years ago did I think I would have been able to make a game in second year of college I would have laughed at you.

I feel as though I am learning a lot from Unity and my skills are constantly improving till next time.

    Hey John!
    How are you getting on with the module? I was also confused with the S key thing and I did not read the whole explanation hahaah I thought I was doing it wrong but I just forgot to press the S in the keyboard hahah. I also find the game labs fun but I'm not sure if I could even bring my game project to life hahahah.

Game Idea Research

Image
The game idea I have chosen to continue through out the rest of the semester is my puzzle themed game. Going off the feedback that Shaun has given me and my own research I have done I believe this is the best course of action. Firstly it was my most thought out game idea and one I am most interested in making. This blog will be about researching this game idea further and think of how I can make this game possible in Unity. I used some YouTube videos to start my research those being  Breaking Down Video Game Mechanics ,  Top 10 Puzzle Games . I also found some Unity tutorials that could be use full when it comes time to actually creating this game I will link them here:  Creating a Puzzle Platformer in Unity | Prototype Series ,  Make First Level in Unity - GameDev from Beginner to Pro - 3D Puzzle Game .  My concept for anyone who hasn't read my previous post on this subject I will briefly explain what my game idea is. My game will be a puzzle game set in a labyrinth style prison,

Game Design

  What is a Game Anyway?  After completing a reading of  What is a game anyway? by Ian Schreiber, it is evident that several points where raised by the author of the paper. These points include the lack of a universal definition of what a game is, the weakness of definition and how simple making a game really is. The following blog will address these points in greater detail.  To begin with the author explains what his definition of what a game is, it being "a play activity with rules that involves conflict" direct quote What is a Game Anyway? by Ian Schreiber. He then goes on to states even though his definition was adopted by the IDGA Education SIG there are still many different definitions out there some of which disagree with his. He then brings up a point of how some games are the same concept but are executed slightly differently, they are different because of different rules and names. The example he used was that of Three to Fifteen compared to Tic-Tac-Toe. He also st

Game Vision Statement

For this blog I will be sharing my Game Vision Statement, I am extremely excited to create and see how this game will develop. What is Escape The Maze?  Escape the Maze is a game to challenge your mind! How will Escape the Maze be played?  Escape the Maze will be a game where the player will maneuver through a maze full of puzzles. by completing the correct puzzles they will let the players get closer to freedom. The player will be able to move forward,   left and right on completing a puzzle when choosing a puzzle they will be able to move forward , backward , left and right . You will be greeted by a sign explaining the rule, for example if you choose the wrong puzzle or fail a puzzle you timer to get out of the room will decrease. This is to challenge the player as they will have to learn from their failures on how to solve the puzzles. The timer will add a sense of making urgent decisions that depending on how many puzzles you have failed or completed either subtract or add to your
