Unity Tutorial 05

Unity Tutorial 05

I found this specific tutorial that we had to do very fun to do however there was a few problems that I found during the assignment that made it strikingly difficult. For one I was working through the unity and the first 2 were going well however I always use Dreamweaver as a way to script when I get to the scripting part of the assignment but I was getting some issues with the script that I do not normally get problems that I can not fix but because the problem was hard and I did not know where I messed up it took a looooooong time to go back and find where I screwed up. I figured it out eventually but it thought me to be careful when looking through scripts because it is very frustrating when you are in a good mood and you are close to finishing the assignment.

This is a little bit of how the assignment looked while I was trying to figure it out but I was able to fix the script at the end which I was very proud of because it took me 2 days to finally be able to get through when I was about to give up.

I think that the assignment would have to be the most challenging by far because of the scenario that I had to bypass was the most challenging as I was to far into the tutorial when my game starting to have notification of how my game was not working correctly.
This is a screenshot of all the different scripts from all of the different tasks I had to do.

Reading 4

I think that this week 4 reading would have to be the most stressful and toughest work by far because I had to do a lot of  research because you could start filling things out. I had to go on the internet and find out different sites with journals or peer review after going through all the information I had to summarize the information and figure out if it had the information that benefits me in the article.

Once I founds the information I had to put the information into the Matrix such as:

  • Thesis
  • Primary Source
  • Research Questions
  • Limitations
  • Strengths
  • Significance

When I was researching my task I realized that my questions are very broad which made it very hard for me to look for information and narrow it down which meant that some of the information that I was researching was not relevant.

This is the Matrix that I had to put the information that was researched into.

When I was in trying to research the information I had to simplify my requirements so that I knew that the information was always on track.
This is notes I took to help me know the kind of information I am looking for and remembers that the information should be relevant


I wish that the questions I picked were not so broad because I really have nothing to work off of because of how much information comes up in the search.

In this weeks unity tutorial I think that it was very challenging because of the fact that there was a lot more code and I was trying to get my head around how the codes for duplication of the items and the trigger for input but I was able to figure it out after going back over the video a few times because I noticed that I was not typing the code correctly. I did enjoy the tutorial because it was very simple the follow and fun to do but the overflow of information had me overwhelmed but I was able to manage the whole process.

This is just a screenshot of the script that I had to follow

Here is more screenshots of the script that I had to follow that I struggled in the most because of the changes that had to be made.

Even though I had a struggle and I was a lot of effort and time to figure it out I was very happy that I got though the whole tutorial and everything was working fine and deleting as soon as it left the screen.
Here is the final result that I was proud I got it completed because it came out pretty well.

Unity Tutorial 03

Unity Tutorial 03

I really did enjoy the tutorial about the car and how we had to make everything using the assets. I found the objective at hand very difficult because of the amount of coding that I had to try get my head across but as the time went on and I was struggling to figure out where I went wrong on parts of the code I can honestly say that I have learned from my mistakes and even understood how some of the coding language was done. I think the most hardest part of the game making for me was having to go back over the tutorials when I missed a step or maybe did not make a cap in cap appropriate moments.

This is a screen shot of the First task that had to be done because of the tutorial
This was the second part on the assignments that I had to make

In conclusion I would just like to say that I thought it would be easier because of how I flew last year but I have started to realize that it is not all about the software and how familiar you are with it. I think that once you take the time to learn how the structure is done and how you can have your own method it make your workload and mindset a lot easier.

Doing your research

Planning your approach

I had to go and pick two topic and then I had to write about it but before all of that I had to do some research and it was all based around the 2 choices that I made. I had to find some good reliable information for example journal or a book or even the internet. When I have found the information I had to check that any piece of information that was from the source would have some relevant answers to my questions that I have chosen. I also had to go and find the references and put them all in the review matrix.

This is the different kind of steps that I had to go through while reading to come up with questions that would give me more information to go off with and reseach





My thoughts on the Approach

I am finding it very hard because the information is a lot to take into account and handle and I am not able to figure out if the information that is needed is relevant to the choices that I have picked. I am also a little bit out of my element when it comes to this kind of research because I have never done anything like this at all.

Unity Tutorial 02

Unity Tutorial 02 

Today I was working on a project car 3d platform game. I had to download the assets and I had to some how make the car move forward toward the crates but I also had to add a script to control the speed while maintaining the realistic motion of having the crate fly away once the Vehicle had made contact with the crate. I would also like to add that I was able to slightly understand what they mean by cleaning up a code so that It can be more appealing to the eyes and having a bit of structure to it.

This is an image of code that we had to make in order to make the game work.
I have learned a lot today from watching the video because I was able to go and refresh my memory of all the different handle shortcuts and I have also learned a new few tricks that I didn't know or may have missed out on. I found that it is very hard to make a game and that it would be very much a beneficial idea to have teams and roles when it comes to making big multiplayer games across the world.

Planning your approach


In this weeks assignments I had to plan how I wanted to approach this assignments I thought it would be a very simple and easy decision to make but I realized that I was very wrong because I had to go thought a list of question and choices on google docs. I had a lot of different categories to choose from.




I have picked the Category :


The questions that I decide to picked out the category was:


  • What is a Game Designer
  • Game Design Team Roles

I was trying to decide how I wanted to restructure my chosen questions. So I came up with 

"What are the Importance of a Game Designer"

"Are roles in Game Design Needed"

I was also tried to organize  my folder to make it more easy for me to know where everything is and keep to as tidy as possible so that when I was to get my information I know that I have checked certain websites and got information that may or may not benefit me in the long run 

This is the Folder.

This is a picture showing that After I had to make a more refine way of phrasing my questions I went to look thought a lot of different sources.
