03/02/23 - Unity Work

In today's lesson, we were learning how to use Unity Engine to create games. We did this today, by first of all downloading a folder full of assets, and creating a new document within Unity, where we could then use these assets later on.

On this new document, we first had to add in different components to our character, including a Capsule Collider and a Rigid Body, to make our character playable. We then had to select the Main Camera option, and dragged this camera into the place of where the eyes of our character would normally be. We then had to take this Camera folder, and place it into our Player folder.

Then, within our main folder options, we opened our Scripts folder, and within this, created two new folders named Movement and Camera Movement, and within these we would create the programs to move our character as well as how the camera can move and see different things.


We then had to open the coding software Visual Studio, and had to type in our code, which would allow our character to have movement. This meant that our character would be able to move forwards, backwards, and side to side. After this, we had to open the coding software in our other folder, to allow camera movement, so that our characters could look around.

We then returned to our movement folder code, and added in the code that would allow our character to crouch and sprint, by changing the speed and height of our characters, being applied only when a certain button is pressed.



To finish off the lesson, we had to make a basic obstacle/parkour course on our project world, to trail all of our code, to make sure that all of the features that we added into it worked well.

07/12/23 - HTML And Figma Alterations

Image
In today's lesson, we covered a more in depth overview of  the HTML coding language as a follow up from last week's lesson. We looked at html tags again, as a recap, and then went on to write our own basic html code in the notepad app. We then learnt about the different tags to change text to be bold and italicized, as well as how to highlight and sub/superscript text. After this, we learnt about character codes, and how to add links and images into our web pages. Following this, we looked into lists and tables, and finished off the work with how to comment on your code. After this, we were allowed to just work on whatever work we needed to do. For this, I was editing my Figma app, to add in a time and Wi-Fi, service, and battery icons. After I'd added these in, I had to slightly rearrange parts of my pages to all fit in better. I also added in coloured rectangle behind each sections of my app, so that it would be easier to see what pages did what at a quick glance at the f...

10/01/24 - Final Game Session

Image
In today's lesson, I was working on my literature review, as I was for most of yesterday as well after receiving feedback within my morning tutorial. I was finding new sources to reference and add into my work, so that I could discuss the work of different people over many similar topics. However I then had the issue that I was way too far over the 1500 wordcount that I was supposed to be following, so I had to go through my previous work, and cut out or re-word sections that I felt were not as necessary for the overall message that I was trying to get across. In between my writing, I would go and see how the game finalisations were coming along, as Spike was getting ready to export the final game after fixing a couple of small bugs that we had found.

08/01/24 - Presentation, App Updates And Game Run-through

Image
In today's first lesson, I was finishing off my presentation. Although I only had a couple of pages left to finish, I needed to ask some questions on how to complete these sections as I wanted to make them as accurate as possible. I then thought of another feature to add to my app, which was a premium membership subscription, so I had to create another page to represent google, as when you press the button it will open a new google page to buy a membership.  I added a few different options for the membership, so that people can feel like they have options, and even added in a student discount option so that students with a lower or no income feel like they are getting a good deal and will be more likely to buy the membership. In today's second lesson, I was continuing to work on this presentation and app page, as our game group is basically finished and I can't really contribute much else for completion. Earlier in the week Spike had told us about how the church model wasn...
