Unity Tutorial 04

This week's tutorials were pretty difficult, I felt that the challenge one was way harder than the other two although the other two took way longer. The challenge exercise helped me recall my knowledge but it was frustrating at times.


This task was called Collision Decisions, in this exercise, we were learning about box colliders and how we could control what happens when two prefabs with box colliders on them, In this case, we made them both disappear the moment they collided. This tutorial was pretty straightforward and I enjoyed it too!


This task was the hardest of them all, The whole idea of this task was to make you download a faulty project and get it working perfectly by the end. It took me a lot shorted to finish it in the end but, I felt like this challenge was better for study purposes going forward, it made me think of solutions to the problems I was given and made me use the knowledge that I had gathered from the other tutorials. I did struggle with it but it was for the better. The hints of the things that I needed to fix were at the bottom of the task page and this helped me in targeting the issue, I feel like it would have been so much harder to figure out the problems if that wasn't there to guide me. Overall I think it was a good refresher but painfully frustrating and at times I felt so lost.


I thought this last task was a fun little exercise, although it took me the longest out of them all it was fairly easy going. This tutorial was about trying out jump force and how you could make the player jump under the influence of gravity and impulse. I created a move left script for everything except the man so that it gave the illusion that we were running forward, I put box colliders and ridged boys on the obstacle so that it would hit the player if you didn't jump in time, I also made the obstacle into a prefab and put it into the SpawnManager so that it would clone itself, this would make the player have to jump over multiple obstacles in the game. This was a fun task and I've been waiting to do a 2D obstacle course so i enjoyed it.

    Hey Adam,

    I'm glad you managed to get through the tutorials okay, because they were quite difficult! I think having a challenge is good when following these tutorials because it makes is concentrate more and will help us remember lines of code that we can use for our game!

 Week 02 Introduction To Adam Elder Hi, my name is Adam Elder, I am nineteen years old and I am part of CDM at TUD Blanchardstown.  I love to play sports, video games, watch movies, and make new friends I also love to listen to music.  I have a family that is all into taekwondo and all of us do it. I've been doing it since I was 11. Being a part of RiverValley Taekwondo has made me the person I am today. That club has taught me so much about how I treat and interact with people and has made me disciplined in the things I do outside taekwondo as well. the people who have coached me and the people I trained with have been almost like family and when we do competitions we cheer and support each other like one.

 Week 09 Project Alpha It is coming up to the final weeks of the project and I have to say that I am making decent progress, this week I mainly tied up some loose ends with my game such as making the enemies this week spawn randomly others would be: Giving grid boundaries so that the enemies spawn within the play area. Making Box Colliders to each the enemies as well as the player character and the fireballs. Arranging the dragon and fireball prefabs in my game. Creating random spawn generation for the dragon enemies. Box Colliders This was really confusing for me throughout this week's work because I couldn't find why they weren't showing and then I found out that I didn't have the button "Box Editor" selected, I wasted so much time trying to find out what was wrong with it. When they were showing up they weren't following the player, but again I was looking at the one in the hierarchy but the prefab one was. I added a destroy-on collision rule so that wh

Game Brainstorm

 Week 03 Game Brainstorm There has been a couple of ideas I thought of since the start of this module but here are the four that I think are most reasonable.  Bartendar Simulator: This was my first idea, the plan was to make a game where you would pour drinks at the bar and control the pressure and the tilt, then you serve them to the customers, depending on how well it is done you will get a good score. It would start with you getting a request from the customer with a certain drink or service, then you go and pick the glass up, bring it to the tap and start pouring the drink for the customer, in this process you'll have to make adjustments to the pressure using the valve, tilting the glass and judging the distance the glass is to the nozzle and the tilt on the glass, after that you'll have your character pick up the glass and bring it over to the other side of the bar and place it down beside the customer, here is where the customer could complain about not having enough head
