Multidev 2020/21

 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

Comments and Feedback  Feedback In:   I think the whole general idea of giving weekly feedback is a great idea. Its nice to see people leaving nice comments on your blogs it really puts you in a good mood.

Reflection This weeks reading task was to look back over all our previous reading a writing assignment’s. Ill start off by saying this. I haven’t found the readings enjoyable just because its not an area I’m passionate about but I have found them bearable and useful. They’re not overly complicated so if you put the time in there’s no reason for me to complain.   I Personally haven’t had too many issues with the tasks. It definitely helps that there are 3 different articles covering the same topics. I found this helpful because the academic papers I find a very hard to digest. If all we had were the academic papers I would probably have no clue what were supposed to be learning over the semester. With that being said every week I go to attempt the academic paper they’re slowly becoming easier to digest.       I think the reading tasks definitely helped me when it comes to creating our games. Throughout the semester all the information we need to create a successful game plus more is giv
