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.

Tech Task - Google Timer

 For this week's Tech Task I decided to the google timer. It was so handy I never knew you could do it on google. I'll definitely use it for taking breaks during this busy semester!! It might keep me working, fingers crossed!! haha
