Unity Tutorial 02

Hey there this is my blog post on Unity Tutorial 02. 

To begin I started with lesson 1.4 which was the lasts part of last week's project which was the car game. I really enjoyed getting to finish this game. I found that I flew through this as I did these tasks. This was an amazing start to the tutorial and as I went through it everything was working out perfect bare one or two minor problems which were quickly fixed. The code is where I made a few mistakes but after examining them for a few minutes it was fixed. I finished this task thinking " wow that was fun and easy huh!". Famous last words.

So then I began Challenge 1 & Quiz Plane Programming and well I began to realize this was going to be difficult. I started and I soon noticed there wouldn't be step by step instructions. I had so much difficulty with this to the point I didn't complete this task for a number of reasons the main one being my time management being affected by outside circumstances. I however do want to attempt to complete this task in my own time just to prove I can. I used the hints as best I could when I got stuck but the hints made me more confused and made me realize that I couldn't remember how to do tasks I knew how to do and had completed before hand. It's like I had the knowledge behind a door, but I couldn't form the key to open that door. This makes me think I might need to spend more time on the tasks and maybe practice them multiple times. I definitely see this as a loss but also a learning point, I know where I went wrong and I know what needs to be changed to help improve. Hopefully moving forward I will have more wins than losses. 

Thanks for reading this post I'm gonna go practice my Unity skills.

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
