Unity Tutorial 07 - Week 20

A screenshot of the final step in the unity tutorials. 

This post is about this week's unity tutorial. We had to do two final tutorials, one was shorter than usual so that was a bonus! The first tutorial was all about audio. We started off by adding background music to the game, which in my opinion really make a game. Another thing I had to do in the tutorial was adding an audio source to ruby, I have done this before but for some reason, it didn't work for me and I couldn't figure it out. After about 20 minutes of me being very confused, I realized I had a bit of the code wrong (typical). So I fixed that and then it was clear sailing from thereon. Another thing I had to do was add a 3D sound to the robot, this sounds really cool and really adds to the game.

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.

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, 

1. Genre
2. Games
3. Preferences
4. Groupings
5. Personalities
6. Shooter
7. Simulation
8. Platform
9. Puzzle
10. MMORPG

I think those words would be the most fun and they're all to do with my chapter! I will create this next week as this is a part of that task! Hopefully, I will get better at the introduction and the conclusion next week too and my chapter will come across a lot better than it does at the moment.

Thanks for reading, see you next time!

Twitter Task - Week 20

Hello and welcome to this week's Twitter
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.
