Unity Tutorial 04

In this blog I will discuss Reading weeks tutorials. This week I finished off last weeks tutorials, so this week I did tutorials 2.4 and the second challenge. 

This week was less stressful than the first challenge week that's for sure. First off I finished both parts of it compared to the last time where I basically failed the challenge. 

So the first part was tutorial just finishing up what we started last week. I found this really easy and just followed along with the video's and pausing when I needed to. This tutorial consisted on making a new method to spawn the animals randomly in the game. Then adding in a timer to spawn them at different time intervals.  then added a collider and trigger components, then I added code to destroy the pizza and animals when they collided. Finally I added the game over message.

Then I moved on to the challenge which if I'm being completely honest I found fairly difficult. I had a bit of trouble opening it so that wasn't a great start but I realized I was looking in the wrong area so I felt a little dumb then. Once I had everything ready to start I was determined to finish. So I followed the hints and to say the hints start off by telling you exactly what to do is a understatement. So I did that and found the first 3 tasks very simple and however task four I was stuck on for a while so I took a break and when I came back to it I  was still stuck so I decided the best thing to do was to compare the previous tutorials code to this one and quickly realized where I was going wrong. Then getting the balls to randomly spawn at different points and would be different balls and not just the same one. 

This weeks Unity went very well in my opinion and I can't wait to get into more in the coming weeks see ya on the flip side!

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
