Learning Challenge: The Importance of Reading

 



Reading was always important for me in primary, secondary and now especially in college. It helps expand the mind, helps improve concentration and helps you de-stress. I haven't done much reading as a hobby only read certain few books like Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit books but after them nothing. 

For Multimedia Development I take time to go over tutorials for my Unity tasks, in a way that is reading but visually and its helps me to take in information off coding and different features on Unity to help me with my own and up-coming game.

One thing I didn't take from reading before was the motivation from it and helping me explore new ideas but since the start of the course I have taken a liken to it and read articles for most of my modules which helps me very much and to keep doing this during my 2nd year and improve my work overall.

These videos provided me with great help into attaching my FPS controller and camera to my character! Attach the camera Adding the FPS controller

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 !

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?
