Unity Tutorial 04

This weeks tutorial we were introduced to objects colliding with one another. This was a very interesting lesson and has opened my eyes to endless possibilities. It was basic, once an item collides it was set to make both objects disappear. This was achieved by adding Collider components to our objects in the game, then writing a CSharp script in Visual Studio. With the completion of the tutorials however, the game felt like it didn't run as well as it could have. There's many speed values I would like to change along with the size of my game. I felt everything was quite crowded and it became difficult to progress in the game as the animals spawned frequently and the speed of the character was just not capable of catching them all. 


Another mechanic that we were very briefly introduced to is gravity. By removing gravity from our pizza slice in the game, the slice would fly along the ground endlessly. That's really all the introduction we got, disabling gravity, but I'm fascinated and look forward to exploring that game mechanic more in the future. I've learned a lot during the. development of this game, and of course it was done by following step by step guides and I know I will find it very challenging in the future but it's very nice to see something progress and develop into a finished project, no matter how impressive it may be.

Game Idea Research

Taken via Google Images (Click for link)  The game I am choosing to create for the remainder of this project is going to be a FPS style shooter. Now, right off the bat that seems complex and, in all honesty I am a little sceptical about the workload that may be involved but after doing quite a lot of research I definitely think it is manageable. I don't plan on creating anything too spectacular my main goal is to have the basic mechanics of the game to work properly along with some basic graphics. If in time I'm capable of creating more detailed graphics and find the time and resources to do so, I most definitely will but the priority is for my game to run as intended. I will begin with the sheer minimum. an open plane, untextured perhaps with some 3D objects to add some atmosphere and to create placeholders for future development. ideally I would like the game to run as a quick response, precision shooter which while having fun and exciting aspects to the game, can be used to

Introduction Of A Future Superstar

  Hi! I'm Matthew, An up and coming superstar. Mark my words! I've just turned 22 and am currently in my second year of college studying Creative Digital Media at TU Dublin Blanchardstown. School was never really for me. When I was young I was a "bad kid" constantly getting in trouble and never listening or participating. Primary school I enjoyed while I was young but once secondary came along I absolutely hated it. I would dread going into school in the morning, constantly trying to pursued my mom not to send me in. I missed countless days during school as I just felt I was never learning anything as I could not find interest in anything. I would sit there drawing or try to listen to music from my phone. I'd do this by putting an earphone through my sleeve, holding it in my hand and leaning my head on my hand. Anything to occupy me until I could go home. I fell behind so much to the point where there was no catching up. I just simply did not want to be there and

Unity Tutorial 02

  Upon completion of this beginner tutorial I felt very achieved. Although most of the work was done and was following a step by step guide. It's very rewarding to start a project and have it operating properly by the time you finish. I thought I would run into a lot of problems along the way but the software was really quite straight forward.    Coding came easy enough, I did however get an error when attempting to go into G ameview as I forgot to add the ";" at the end of my code. Looking back over my lines of code I was able to locate the problem, mainly because of how many times I've made this same mistake in Brackets while developing websites so the problem was quite noticeable to me. It's great to see similarities like that between modules that I'm doing currently. Web development I'm sure will fit in nicely to future coding that I will need to do I'm sure.    I do feel I will forget a lot of the code in the future, I think that will be my main
