Reading 07

In this week's reading task, we are assigned to write at least six paragraphs on our chosen topic. Each paragraph has to include a minimum of 5 sentences, including an intro sentence, a conclusion sentence, and at least one supporting sentence. Each one in the class is assigned to read two other pieces and has to comment on them. We have to read them carefully and see if the included everything that is mentioned above and if not, we have to write what's missing and what is not so as to let help them make changes and make it look better. I was assigned to read Mimi's and Mary's chapters. I have read them carefully and I thought they were clear, included all the elements except for the sources they had. They were very little and I think there should be more in order to support their chapters and what they included in them. I found it easy to write my chapter after the first couple of weeks researching and following the steps that were included in the reading tasks to help with writing our chapter. At the beginning, I struggled a little bit but then it got easier and all those weeks of researching and gathering sources made it easier to write my chapter.

Project Process

The 2D game I planned on doing after researching different tutorials and ideas that could help in designing the game is called "Exploding forest". It is about a character that is surrounded by enemies that look like wood. The character, which will be wearing a red hood, has to throw explosives at the enemies in order to win the game. The enemies will have a health bar on top of their heads as the red hood character throws explosives at them to know when they're dying. The character can move left and right and it can also jump. The enemies, however, can not move. They will just appear in different places in the game scene and the character has to move to reach them and kill them. The characters will be in a place that looks like a park or forest. All the assets I will be using for the game is from the unity asset store and they are all for free. I will be adding four different scripts for the game. One for the player, one for the enemies, one for the health bar that is on top of the enemy, and the last one for the explosives to make the character throw them at the enemies. I chose to do this game because I want it simple and includes features that I have learnt from the tutorials we have been doing through the weeks till now. There will also be a huge rock in the scene so that whenever the red hood character throws explosives at it. it will not pass through it. It will be there to make the game more challenging and fun. I think I can design the game in a small amount of time but hopefully it is good enough and that everything I add in it, like the assets and scripts, will not break it or crash it because last semester while creating the game, I added an asset and everything crashed so I had to restart it from the beginning. I will also save every time I add something to the project so that if something happened I have it saved on my desktop.

Tutorial 06

This week's tutorials for the Ruby 2D game were adding visuals for the game to make it look more professional an fancier so that the players can interact with the game and find it more fun to play. The visual we had to apply is Ruby's health bar so that while playing we can see when are we losing. It was easy and simple to add the health bar but we had to adjust the size of it then for the health bar to be less whenever Ruby hits something and loses life, we had to do a script for it. The second tutorial was even easier than the first one as the task was to add a new character, which was the frog. We had to create a sprite first then add it to the game scene. This was way easier than the first I even didn't need to follow every instruction for this tutorial because we already knew what we were supposed to do as we did that in the beginning of creating the Ruby 2D game. I still have some issues with my game from the previous tutorials but hopefully by the end of the game, I figure them out and the game would be played perfectly and I will enjoy it.
