Unity Tutorial 05

Unity Tutorial 05

I was glad to be back following Jimmy Vegas tutorials. I liked the three tutorials even though they had a lot coding. I was able to follow it pretty easily though, and I understood why the codes worked and didn't work. 

If I had to do them tutorials following an article I doubt I would've been able to get the desired result. 

I enjoyed the animation of the axe, I think it looks really cool and is very easy to do.
I think that I would find coding very difficult if Jimmy Vegas wasn't telling us what to write so that does kind of concern me. But I'm sure with time I'll eventually get the hang of it. 

I liked the picking up of the gem by pressing a key, I am definitely going to apply that in my own game when picking up objects instead of just walking into them. I also like that the cursor is more decorated now, the plain white dot before was pretty boring. 

I don't find these videos as fun as the first few, probably just because you don't have as much freedom to mess around and create, I do still enjoy following the code but it can get a bit boring. I had to take a break during the second and third video because I was getting tired of clicking to and from the videos to write in codes.

This week our meeting with Shaun went well. For Thursday we will have our full functioning game. This week I've been watching videos on Animate CC just to get to grips on how the software works and how to use it. Video for simple animation Only half of this video was actually needed as the designs for the game have already been done. I started to watch a video where the game was made using html5 and java script which I thought could be cool because we already have some knowledge on HTML and JavaScript but as we are making a game for an iPad theres was no point in continuing his tutorials. Plus his voice was hard to follow and he wasn't the best at explaining what he was doing or why.                                        I am currently behind this week so I will be very busy on the game in the next two days to get it finished for Thursday.

Game Design Document

Game Design Document I'm in a group with Eva Garrett, Nicole Goodman, Robyn Mulhall, Nhu Thai, Marcin Grabicki and Emma Byrne. After doing some research we decided we wanted to make an app for an iPad instead of a game for the laptop we think it would be much more suitable for the game we want to make and for the age group.  We were inspired by Leap-Frog and Animal Crossing.  Kids are attracted to bright colours, we notice colours and begin to distinguish objects based on colour from a very young age so it's important to make sure the game is very bright. We will keep this in mind when designing the game. A lot of kids are visual learners and auditory learners, it's important that they make the association with the sound and word/numbers.  We are making a game for an iPad. The game will be an e-learning game for kids ages four to eight years old.  The game will be a mathematical game based on a farm. The player will be asked a series of questions such as

This week Nhu Thai and I met up on Wednesday and discussed what we need to do and how we would evenly share out the work. We decided that Nhu would do the Main Menu, the setting page, level page and level 1 and I will be doing levels 2-6. We explored colours for the main menu page using adobe colour. We decided on yellow, blue, red and brown. We wanted use bright colours to engage the users attention. Nhu and I weren't sure how to share our files between Animate CC. We decided to try just sending the file to one another and copy and pasting it into one of the projects. That worked so we we were delighted to know we could easily transfer files. We were given the illustrations this week and are working on implementing them into the levels. We also looked at fonts. We wanted something fun and childlike but it still needs to be readable. After looking through fontspace we decided to go with KidZone and SchoolBell. KidZone was used for the heading and SchoolBell was used fo
