Unity Tutorial 07 - Week 20
A screenshot of the final step in the unity tutorials. |
For the second tutorial it's all about making your game into an actual game! So in the tutorial, it shows you how to put all the correct settings on then to build the game which basically puts all the files together and means you can send them to people and they can play it! I had my brother try it out and he was impressed!
And that’s it, the unity tutorials are finished!! Not going to lie I am delighted! One thing that’ll be off my shoulders for the rest of the semester.
Thanks for reading,

Doing - Reading 08

Hello!! This post is about this week's reading task. I really struggled with this week's task. In theory, it didn't seem hard but I've never written an introduction or a conclusion so I wasn't sure where to start. I watched the videos linked on the task website and honestly it definitely confused me more. I know we are getting feedback on them next week so I hope that will make it clearer and I can get solid feedback on them and figure out how I can improve and move forward.
We also had to draft a “Check your understanding”. I thought about this for a while and I think a word search would be really fun to do! I would include ten words. The 10 words would be,
- Genre
- Games
- Preferences
- Groupings
- Personalities
- Shooter
- Simulation
- Platform
- Puzzle
- MMORPG

Twitter Task - Week 20
task! For this week I decided to embed my Twitter timeline into my sidebar on blogger. I had this done previously but due to me changing my blog layout/theme it didn't go into the new one so I thought it was the perfect time to update it :) Below is a screenshot of it.

Tutorial 06 - Week 19(07)

This post is about this week's unity tutorial. In the two tutorials, we had to do the first one we added in UI or Heads up display which displays the health bar. It was a very cute little UI display with a photo of the character Ruby in it. It was really interesting to see this come to life. Though in the middle of doing this tutorial unity just stopped responding so I had to quit it in the end and start from scratch. That was very annoying but thankfully I wasn't too far into it, definitely would've been a lot worse if I had gotten further or was even finished and it stopped!
In the second tutorial, we had to add another character called Jambi. We had to add a dialogue box to Jambi too in order for him to "talk" to Ruby! I just added in the text "Hey! Help me fix all the broken robots" like it said in the tutorial. I was surprised at how this worked easily enough for me and everything seemed to go fine! It's also a cool addition to make the game more interactive.
I think it'll be interesting to see what the last two tutorials are like and what the game finishes like! Hopefully, they'll be easy enough.
Anyways, thanks for reading!

Reading 07 - Doing

This week's reading task was to read two other students' paragraphs that were completed last week! We had to then give feedback on their paragraphs! I found this hard as I really didn't know what to correct people on or suggest! But hopefully the feedback I gave helped (I am sorry if it did not).
In terms of the feedback I got, both of the bits of feedback I received were similar so which does help me a lot. The first bit was to take out the start of one sentence where I said "Papers I have read suggest" and honestly I'm not sure why I even put that in because I know you shouldn't use I in them but look we all make mistakes. So I took that out and changed it to "Different papers suggest". I hope that works better and makes more sense. Similar to that I was told to remove any she/he written in the paper as it was confusing so I also removed them.
Another bit of feedback I got was to stick to the 5 sentence feedback structure. I used the 5 sentence structure while writing them, looking over them now I do have more than 5 sentences in most paragraphs but I did follow the structure but instead of say 1 sentence of meat I did 2 or 3 depending on the paragraph.
Other than the changes I made, I am happy with my paragraphs and hope they come across well.
Thanks for reading!
