Project Progress

This week, which is week 6 of the second semester, we are starting the first part of the project. We are researching and planning what our game is going to be and how we are going to create it using unity. I started this week by researching tutorials that would help in creating the game and that I think are not too complicated because I prefer it to be simple and easy to create because last semester I started creating a game and added lots of scripts and tried to make it complicated and challenging but that didn't work and I had to do it again because while adding everything something happened and the game crashed so I had to create another game but much more simpler. For this semester, I will create a game that is similar to a shooting game. The game will have a character and enemies. The main character has to kill the enemies that keeps appearing using bombs. The enemies will have a bar of life above them so that we know when they are dead. When all the enemies are dead, that is when we win the game. All the assets that I will be using for the game are in unity store and for free. The game is really simple and easy to play but fun as well. I will be using the help of the unity tutorials we are doing right now for the Ruby 2D game but hopefully my game doesn't crash like last semester and that everything goes well. This game should be easier than the last semester game we had to create since this is a 2D game and the 3D game is much harder and includes more scripts and properties not like the 2D, which is much simpler and easy to create.

Reading 06

 In this week's reading task, we are supposed to start with our book by writing paragraphs from the themes we chose last week from our bibliographies. There was a video that showed how we should write the paragraphs. Basically, we need to start writing four to six paragraphs and each paragraph must include a these statement, content sentences about my topic, and a conclusion sentence. Each paragraph should include at least five sentences about my topic. I started gathering information from my bibliographies and the themes that I wrote last week. I wrote four paragraphs using sentences from my bibliographies and themes while also adding information on my own words. I somehow paraphrased my themes and bibliographies in a formal and presentable way. I was confused last week on how to write the themes but then when I started writing the first theme everything came along and it was not confusing anymore. I hope the next couple of weeks we would not have too much work for the reading tasks because we need to start with our 2D game and get it done before week 9. I also hope that what I have for the reading is good and enough so far and that my matrix and research method are correct because I can not wait to be a part of the book that is going to be published.

Tutorial 05

 In this week's unity tutorial, I struggled a bit at the start of it because when it asked for importing a package, which is the cinemachine, it didn't appear on my packages and then I realized that I clicked on the wrong button in packages but then I found it. This week's tutorials are way easier and more fun than the others because there wasn't too much coding or information you had to do.  While I was doing the tutorial and almost half way done with it, I found where my character is because the last two weeks I kept saying in the blog that I had the issue of Ruby disappearing while I am in game mode but now I found it and it appears when I play; however, I have a new issue this week, which has to do with the smoke particles I had to add for the enemy. I did it and followed the steps but it wasn't appearing when I zoom in with the camera or the game mode as if the particles are way bigger than the character. When I zoom out the particles appear but when I go into game mode it disappears and that is really annoying but hopefully next week I figure out the issue like I did this week.
