Unity Tutorial 4

Image: Unity Prototype 2

What I learned from this tutorial was how to collide objects on Unity into other objects, so in this case the obstacle (the pizza) erased the other obstacles (the animals), also how to randomly spawn the animals at different intervals and positions and lastly triggering a "Game Over" message . 

What I enjoyed most about this was the creating the script  "DetectCollisions" which allowed me to add the destroy feature which actually helps it feel like a video game.

Challenge 2 


For this part of the tutorials I had to design a short game of "Fetch with a dog" and the name of this task "Challenge" lives up to it's name; the fixing of the c# script was really difficult. My main problem in this was the script of "SpawnManager" where I had to spawn the balls at different times and what I had an issue with for most of this task was actually getting them to spawn. I went over the last tutorial I did and found out I was missing the "int" feature to actually state the class I put the balls in. 

Overall I was impressed with my work and the tutorials came in handy for both tasks!

Prototype: First Playable

  Source: Myself For my project this week, I worked on getting my character moving around the terrain and testing that out with the "on ground" feature that was discussed in our Unity tutorial 3 and put into our C# script . We had the player, jump and move that is what I wanted to mainly focus on and this was a difficult task and I had to go over the tutorials again just to be sure but I got it working in the end!  My character's view will be first person in my game so I had to add a FPS controller to the player , I had to get one from the assets store off Unity, adding the main camera to the player was and angling it so it was attached above the character's body was quite easy; getting the camera to move with the player was ever more difficult. These videos provided me with great help into attaching my FPS controller and camera to my character! Attach the camera Adding the FPS controller

Introduction

My name is Aaron Mulholland, I am 19 years old and I'm in my second year of college in TU Dublin doing Creative Digital Media. The module in which I'm doing this blog is for Multimedia Development 1 and I hope to pass this.... hopefully XD.  Before heading into TU Dublin I first went to a PLC in Dunboyne and did the exact same course I'm doing now; after completing my year there I decided I wanted to take a career in the art of designing on computers as I heard many positives about this chosen career especially in the money ! Technological University Dublin (TUD) logo   The hardest part of my first year occurred during the Lockdown during the early stages of Covid-19 when I was in my second semester. It was a tough time for work and trying to work at home and online with limited resources such as cameras, adobe software and the Mac's that the college provided which was where I did most of my work for the modules and to move from that to my Windows laptop was very diffi

Game Design

Firstly, What is a game? A game is designed to create entertainment, relaxation and in a way let the player or players enjoy a place where they can be something else but to also have fun. Before going into the process of a game you first have to understand "what is a game?". Games were first just a wooden board "chess,poker,checkers" etc. or just using your imagination to create entertainment for yourself or others. Now that technology was brought in consoles" Playstation and X-Box" etc.                           How gaming started off                                                              How it is played now Brainstorming and planning What will be the name of my game? What will be the sole objective? What genre will it be? How will I create the world and levels in which the game revolves around? What will be my characters? Who will be the main villain? These are the questions that should be asked before designing a game.  The pre plan is where your
