Planning

 In this week's reading task, several options and help were provided for us to be able to choose which way is easier and more organized when we are planning and keeping track of the research for the project book. It was useful and the way I felt that would make my research and information organized is by downloading the matrix excel sheet and recording everything I do step by step. There were other methods and ways to keep track of the work done, including the paper trail, documents, matrix, and synthesis folders. This way seemed complicated; therefore, the second one seemed easier to follow and understand. The Thursday's library session was useful and beneficial. Lindsay talked about everything we need to know about the library search, referencing, the keywords, and the matrix method.

Tutorial 01

For this semester, I have decided to go with 2D game development because I think it is easier to understand. When I started the tutorials, I struggled for a bit because I like following a tutorial video instead of reading instructions and following them but then I found it easy as I understood what I am doing. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I really enjoyed doing the first 2d animation game because I knew what I was doing and that I learnt a lot from the tutorials. Now I know how to do a simple 2D game and also a 3D game from the last semester. I had an issue with the tile map tutorial because in the tutorial unity was a different version than my version but there was a YouTube tutorial I found and it was easy to do and I understood it at the end. I also learnt how to paint, draw tiles in pallets, and what every element and button inside unity how it works and how to use it. I skipped some instructions because I already knew about them from semester 1 so I didn't need to read about them again. Hopefully, I will enjoy the rest of the tutorials for the rest of the semester.
