Reading 09


 This week we got feedback off our peers. 

Feedback is such a good way to reflect on your work and get other opinions from other which improves in your writing where you cant see.

Its important to always have a growth mindset when looking back at feedback! Don’t get disheartened, the criticism will benefit you in the long run always take it on board and see how you can improve, its always a positive!

From reading other peoples work, you can see how far everyone has come with all their information and facts. The google slide is already nearly filled up whenever I try to go onto the page and scroll down its always lagging trying to load all the content

๐Ÿ˜ Cant wait to see the finish result

Unity Tutorial 07

 

 

So, this week was our last week of unity tutorials and Ruby’s adventure which I’m absolutely Delighted with!!!

For our last week’s tutorial, we just focused on running and distributing the game and the audio of it too.

So firstly, we learned about the 2D sounds and 3D sounds, so for the 2D sounds the volume basically just stays the same and on the same level but with the 3D sound it can vary, and you can change it depending on like when your camera is situated in your game.

Lastly then we made it easy and accessible to send our game in a built folder to send it over to our friends to play... which was simple enough.

The game actually is not too bad which is surprising it all works well together and runs great so I’m happy, I’m just delighted to be over with unity this semester, I find it so stressful.๐Ÿ˜‚

Reading 07


 For this weeks reading task , we had to give 2 other peers that we were assigned to feedback on there work for the annotated bibliographies. 

This feedback had to be critical so we could add the options/ change up our work the slightest to make it that bit better 

I had given positive feedback to my two peers which also gave me an insight on what looks good etc. 

Once I received my feedback I tried to implement it into my own work

I found that getting feedback off my peers was very beneficial as it made me look at the bigger picture to what other people could see that I couldn't!  It really did help and work in my opinion, I feel like we should do this more often so each student may feel more on track by getting advice off other peers

Unity Tutorial 06

 

For this weeks Unity tasks, we began to learn about visual styling and world interactions.

Firstly, to start us off, we learned how to use the rest tool and place elements and enlarge them or make them smaller, so it works well with multiple different scales.

We then also learned how to use the static members in the scripts and the singletons which then made up our UIHeathBar

We then moved on to the second tutorial which was the world interactions, we learned how Raytracing is important as it detects things like colliders. We also found out that its used for other things its just depending on what type of game you have/ use it for 

This week’s tutorials were fine to follow, I am constantly improving in relation to my gaming skills, however my love for games just doesn’t improve along with it!๐Ÿ˜…

In my opinion unity is just so tedious, even though the tutorials literally give you step my step instructions, I do make some mistakes on the way which then just stress me out and make my life a little bit harder so I really just can’t wait to get this done!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Reading 06

 

For this weeks task we had to write paragraphs within themes from our annotated bibliographies 

It wasn't too bad, its probably been the easiest reading week task to say the least๐Ÿ˜‚The paragraphs just included and intro with a few sentences which included my thoughts on the paragraphs and also just a conclusion to close it all up. To be honest I actually kind of enjoys this weeks tasks as it wasn't to heavy like all the rest. 

I have had some confusion with this module and I hope its not just me but all I can do is try my best and I hope my best is right!!๐Ÿ˜Š

Unity Tutorial 05

In this weeks tutorial, we began doing new things which was exciting nothing too complicated… We started to work on the camera since the one we used was just a static one. Firstly we downloaded the Cinemachine package and worked from there, it was kind of tedious like all other tutorial but as always I keep trying to improve my skills so I just went slow and made sure I followed each step. Its kind of interesting how it all works and how it makes the game looks. 

Secondly,  for the second tutorial then for this week, Visual Styling Particles, again it was tedious  as always for me ๐Ÿ˜‚but I was just adding sprites and did them step by step so I didn’t make an mistakes so I could get the blast of smoke to work. It was an enjoyable Unity task to say the least ๐Ÿ˜‚ but I know I am improving which benefits to my skills in gaming!!
