17/03/23 - Game Work


In today's lesson, we were continuing to work on our own game projects. I began working on the landscape for my game, as I had built my bow, arrow and target in previous lessons already. 

To create the landscape, I first had to create a new Unity project, to create my game in. Within this project, I then added in a new capsule to be my playable character, and to make it have the ability to move, I created new Script folders, and copied in the code from our previous lesson on capsule movement. This then allowed my capsule to be able to move and look around the map, as the main camera was placed within it.

I then added in a new terrain into this project, and using the tools available for it, added some texture into the ground, to look more realistic.

I then returned to Blender, and created a n
ew project, as I wanted to design a tree that I could put into this new map that I was creating. To do this, I added in a new cylinder, and used the extension tools, to create the trunk of the tree, and then added in another cylinder, which I sized down quite a bit, and used the same methods, to create the branches for my tree.

To create the leaves of my tree, I created an Ico Sphere mesh, and then kept duplicating this, changing the sizes of some of them, and then placed them all together around the branches, to vaguely resemble leaves. I then added brown and green materials to the wood and leaf components of this tree creation. 

As an attempt to incorporate textures into my work, I downloaded Poliigon, which is a texture pack, into my Blender app, and selected two textures from the free section of the available options, to texture my tree. For the leaf one, I did have to change the colour after adding the texture, back to green, as the texture was originally grey, however the one for the trunk I think the colours worked really well for.

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...
