13/12/23 - Rigging And Exporting Monster

In today's lesson, I was finally created rigged models and exporting them to share to the rest of the group for our game.

As I had uploaded my model into Mixamo in the previous lesson, I just needed to pick the animations that we wanted, and export them to download onto my computer. As a group, we decided on a running, idle and yelling animation, as we felt that this is all that we would need, and so I downloaded those ones and gave them to Spike to place into the game. 






With help, we managed to get it to animate within the game, although because I had created it not in the centre of the Blender file, it wouldn't place properly and had a line connecting it to something which made it not work properly how we wanted it to, so to fix this issue, I had to move the original, reupload it into Mixamo, and redownload the animations to send over once again, to reimport it into the game. Luckily this version worked much better, and by the end of the lesson, we had got it working within the game. It took a little while to get it to face the player as it chased you, but we got it working eventually.



Throughout the lesson, I also noticed the church model that Jimmy was creating in Blender and it was looking really good, and like he had put a lot of effort into it. I also looked at the work that Spike had been working on, and now that the map is almost completed, it's looking really effective. Now that the monster is included as well, I think our game is nearly finished.

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...
