This week we began to use Unity and C#. We were tasked with 3 tutorials from Unit 1- Lesson 1.1 Start your 3D Engines, Lesson 1.2 Pedal to the Metal and Lesson 1.3 High-Speed Chase. From first impressions and installing Unity I was already confused and lost. But after taking a minute to properly read through instructions and try different solutions I finally got the application up and running. Getting through the different tutorials proved to be time consuming and challenging as it was all new things that I was learning, but eventually I began to get the hang of things and by the last tutorial I was flying through the videos!

I found the tutorial videos easy to understand and follow which definitely helped in me understanding the application better. I also found that it had a similar layout to the adobe platforms which really helped in me understanding this new application. I found moving the trackpad around in viewing the gameplay quite tricky so something that I may consider is to invest in a mouse for my laptop. 

I found everything quite easy to follow and understand with the new coding C# proving to be the most difficult but I still managed to get everything right which I was happy with. 

I found the most frustrating thing for me was how time consuming it was. I found it difficult to pay attention after the 2nd tutorial and kept needing to take 5-10 min breaks. Hopefully in the future I will adjust to this and it wont be an issue.

Overall I found the Unity tutorials and starting up on the application a lot easier than I would've first assumed. I'm excited to learn more and ultimately improve my gameplay!
