VR Project wk 6 & 7

Week 19

VR Project - New Beginnings

In this semester I will be making a VR game. This time we were given an option to either make a 2D game or a VR/XR application. I decided to go with the VR game because I was feeling pretty confident from last year that I was able to make a game in unity, and this semester we are making the VR game in unity too, so I was thinking that it could be a cool experience. The worst part about learning these tutorials was starting everything up and getting the headset connected to unity. I was shifting between making a game for mobile VR and making one for a headset.
It was really rewarding seeing everything finally come together and knocking all the tutorials out.
With that being said im still learning more about it and the goal is to learn the tutorials as I make the game so as I learn something new I can immediately apply it to my Project, I believe that this will make the whole process easier smoother. in the next 2 weeks, I want to be in a position where I can have my prototype phase done. 
For my game, I want to create a VR experience that will allow the player to learn more about the solar system. They will learn about the planets as well as explore space, I want this to be as free as possible and not have too many restrictions for the player's movement. I might have to make a survey for the movement mechanics, Whether have it as continuous movement or have it teleport movement.


I plan to have this isle layout with the planets going in an order of the Solar system with the sun being in the middle of the scene. 


While I was doing the tutorials I noticed that the teleportation anchors could be really useful for this project. Now, in the tutorials, we did them in the form of mats, this could work for when the player is observing the planets or the stars.
There would be this mat looking object that the player could teleport to and have the info as well as the planet or interesting aspect of space in front of them,
I think this would be good for UI when reading and will make the game smooth and contemporary.

 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. This image was taken outside the stadium in Inzel Germany for the World Championships in 2019 Where I represented Ireland the atmosphere was amazing and the supporters made the st

 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
