Yo Daniel, I love marioKart I also used to play it on the nintendo DS, I remember all the boys gathering and just screaming at the DSs, it was very competitive.

Finding papers for this week was pretty difficult I had initially been using the college library website but I then switched to using google scholar which I found a lot more effective I was able to find papers a-lot faster. I find that in a lot of papers that I look at on my topic there’s a fair bit of repetition. So I decided to mind map my topic and expand it a bit so I would have more success in diversifying my writings. So this week I read a paper that looked at games as a meaningful experience. They conducted a test on two groups of people to examine the perceptions of enjoyable and meaningful video games. another hot topic that I decided to look into was the emotional and psychological aspect of first person shooter games and the reactions to the violence. Another paper I read read was about the physical interactions the player has with a machine. The vibrations of the controller the reactions caused from pressing the buttons to the sound effects linked with these thin...
This week we began by making our prototypes for our games. I was fortunate enough to already have most of the assets for my game already downloaded from the unity story. most fo the assets used will be from the first set of unity tutorials all I needed to outsource was a skateboard and a backdrop of some kind here are some screenshots of what I have put together so far The only one Im struggling to find is a sutible backdrop so if anyone who's reading this knows anything about designing backdrops in unity or where to source them from please drop a comment below all help is appreciated once I have gotten my backdrop I will then begin my coding process.
In this weeks unity tutorial we finished off our first project of driving the car this week we coded the game so that we could navigate the car forwards, backwards, left and right with the arrow keys on our computer. The tutorials were very good and clear at explaning how to do everything I feel like I would have been completely lost without them. After completing that first task we were then give a challange task of fixing up and writing various code that allowed a plane to move up and down on the vertical axis and the goal was to be able to navigate it through a set of obstacle. The Task was not too hard with the help of the tutorials and previous knowledge from the project before made it pretty straight forward one part of it that caught me off guard was getting the camera to track the plane properly but when I watched a quick tutorial it all made sense and was plane sailing from there. After only completing 2 tasks I feel like I would be comfortable navigating the software ope...
