Reading 6

Reading 6 This week for reading 6 task I had to do the body paragraphs. My week this week was difficult. I am finding this semester work to be hard and I feel like I need to go back to some weeks and add loads to them because I feel like due to them not having much work and research over them makes the rest of the weeks harder.  My two topics are Navigation Mechanisms and Game input Devices. I feel like these are hard enough to get much research to link to each other. I just feel like I am doing the research wrong and feel overwhelmed by not getting enough work done.  Next week, because we have a free week I am going to go back to past weeks and add more to them and do much more research because I know I have not done enough because I am finding this semester much more difficult compared to last semester. I find it hard to do research on the topics I have.  I have tried my best to get some sort of work done for the body paragraphs but I do not know if this is right. -I am goi

Unity Tutorial 06

Image
Unity Tutorial 06 For this weeks Unity tutorials, I started on a new prototype, Prototype 3. I found this tutorial to be the best one so far. I had to complete three different tutorials to complete this weeks task. The links to the three tutorials: Lesson 3.1 Jump Force  Lesson 3.2 Make the World Whiz By  Lesson 3.3 Don’t Just Stand There  One strange problem I kept having was when I would use the tall layout, it would not allow me to add the script to the player. I did not know why this problem kept occurring until I randomly changed layout and then it allowed me to add the script.  The first tutorial was pretty much setting up the whole scene and getting our character to start working. I found this tutorial to be the easiest one of the three. The only problem I had was the script problem that I stated earlier. The second tutorial took me some time as the coding was getting confusing at parts. The third tutorial took the longest to do and I found myself being stuc

Reading 5

Reading 5 After last weeks reading, I was very confused on what to do, but luckily I got to speak to Shaun today in a face to face meeting which helped me a lot. Before I was unsure what the matrix was for and what articles to be reading but now after the help from Shaun I feel like I have a much better understanding to what I have to do. For this weeks reading I wont have as much work was I would like to because I only really understood today what I have to do. For next weeks reading, I feel like I will be much more prepared and will have way more work because I now know much more work that I have to do. For todays reading as I only found out today what to do is about the articles I found and will get headings from to be included in next weeks reading when I have more time to gather information. Some articles I found interesting include: -Methods and apparatus for input devices for instruments and/or game controllers: https://patents.google.com/patent/US8198526B2/en -Game

Unity Tutorial 5

Unity Tutorial 05 This week for Unity, I did two tutorials.  Here is a link to the two tutorials I done: Lesson 2.4 Collision Decisions Challenge 2 & Quiz Play Fetch  The first tutorial I done was the last tutorial for the third game we created. I found that adding the scripts that sometimes it would not work and I did not know how to fix the problem, so the game does not fully work but I tried for ages to understand what the problem was but I just could not fix the problem. I could not get the game to work as much as I wish. Overall, I did not enjoy this tutorial that much as I found it quite annoying and difficult.  The second tutorial was different from any other tutorial I did as we had to do more of the work on our own. This was the hardest tutorial I had to do this semester. It was very challenging because I had to do most of the work on my own. It took my about 2 days in total to work it all out. I had to ask my classmates for help on some bits as I was s

Unity Tutorial 04

Unity Tutorial 04 For this week Unity tutorial task, I done three Unity tutorials. I think I enjoyed these tutorials more compared to the past two weeks as I felt like my Unity skills were not up to the same standard as they were before the break but I feel like I am used to Unity once again. The three tutorials I done this week were: -Lesson 2.1 Player Positioning: https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/lesson-2-1-control-player-bounds-with-if-then-statements?courseId=5cf96c41edbc2a2ca6e8810f&projectId=5cdcc312edbc2a24a41671e6 -Lesson 2.2 Food Fight: https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/lesson-2-2-launch-projectiles-by-instantiating-prefabs?courseId=5cf96c41edbc2a2ca6e8810f&projectId=5cdcc312edbc2a24a41671e6 -Lesson 2.3 Random Animal Stampede: https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/lesson-2-3-random-animal-stampede?courseId=5cf96c41edbc2a2ca6e8810f&projectId=5cdcc312edbc2a24a41671e6 My favourite tutorial was the third one, Lesson 2.3 Random Animal Stampede. This was my favour

Unity Tutorial 03

Unity Tutorial 03 This weeks Unity tutorials were fun but took a bit of time to get it done. I done two tutorials for the Unity create with code. The two tutorials were: -Lesson 1.4 Step into the Driver’s Seat  -Challenge 1 & Quiz Plane Programming  I enjoyed doing both of them. The first tutorial was a continue on from last weeks one where it had the car in it. This week we were able to make the car move which I found very fun as when I finished it. I did find it challenging at the start to make the car move but I just made a typing error. I am finding the coding okay but I keep making small mistakes which do take a good bit of time to realise where I went wrong, but I think I am getting better with the coding. The second tutorial was different from the others as we had to fix the plane. I found the text tips to be very good and they helped  a lot as I am not that skilled with coding in Unity. I found the tutorial fun to do and I felt great when I got everything w

Reading 3

Reading 3 For this weeks reading task, I had to do more research on my topics. I am not finding these tasks to be very easy. I feel like I do not know if I am doing them correctly but I am going to write about what I think I have to do.  I read the articles ' User Input and the Mobile User Experience – We’re All Thumbs Now or Maybe Not' and I learnt a lot of information for the topics that I am researching to write about. Simple Guidelines for Mobile User Input: Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS):   You don’t want to overwhelm users with page after page of date collection  on mobile. It’s simply not practical to try and extract the same volumes of data from a user that you would on a desktop. Offer Default Inputs When It’s Practical :     If your audience is nearly fully from one country, then you should make that the default country option. Think About the Device Capabilities:  You can use motion capture, the camera, the internal accelerometer and gyroscope for
