Unity Tutorial 05

 This weeks unity Tutorial was pretty hefty. This week we made a short action game where the player runs and jumps over obstacles. The tutorials were easy enough to keep up with but were definitly time consuming. From the first 2 tutorials I definitely learnt more about Rigid body and spawning it helps that they've been covered in 2 tutorials now. With every tutorial he still covers the basics so its nice that he keeps going over things it makes the learning process earlier. In The Third tutorial we created another script that we were able to create a soundtrack for our game. The first tutorial was all about making the player Jump In our C sharp script we made our player jump up and down on the y axis. We also scripted the fence to spawn and move left. 

The second tutorial was creating a script that made the background repeat itself this combined with the left moving and spawning fences  gives the player the feeling that they are quickly moving through their scene.

The final tutorial was poloshing up the game adding all the important touches like making the character run. Adding sound effects and they backing track this part of the tutorial was probably the quickest for me because it didn't have a whole lot to do with moving parts.

In conclusion this one was rough. It took quite a long time but I found spacing it out and taking breaks away from the screen regularly made it easier. One thing I will probably do next week is start the Tutorial earlier and space it out over the week.

 Hello my name is Daniel Jupe. I am 20 years old and in 2nd year of the Creative digital media course in TU Dublin. My Favourite part of last year was the studio photography module. I enjoyed this module the most because I learnt a lot about lighting and photography and it was the most enjoyable for me. To be entirely honest my goal for this module is just to pass. I haven't really got much interest in video games I will remain open minded going into this module but I can't imagine ill enjoy it that much so just a B or a C would do me. In My spare time when I'm not doing college work or working my job I like to go to the gym, listen to music /podcasts, go skating and surfing for the weekend whenever I get it off. I think my short term goal is to get through to 3rd year without any more repeats. in the longer run Id like to work with some company like red bull or some kind of production company to do photography and videography covering action sports, concerts and festivals.

 This week we continued the making of my game further. Continuing on from last week I was having an issue with my player whenever I tried to add a rigid body component it would fall through the terrain I fixed this by adding in a mesh collider. This week I spent my time getting the controls down on my game now whenever the game starts the board takes off and can now be navigated using the left and right arrow keys. I learnt how to do this from following previous unity tutorials.  with the player now able to navigate the course I added an if statement to the player controller script that enables the player to jump so now when the home button is pressed the player can jump in the air. I had to adjust the mass of the player in the rigid body because whenever I would jump the player would be suspended in the air for too long this would have caused problems later in the game because some obstacles in the game are meant to be cleared others are not.  So far I think I'm on track for my ga
