Unity Tutorial 03

Screenshot from my Unity

 For this weeks Unity tutorials we were tasked with 

Unit 2 – Basic Gameplay (Feed the Animals Prototype)

Lesson 2.1 Player Positioning (60 mins)

Lesson 2.2 Food Flight (70 mins)

Lesson 2.3 Random Animal Stampede (60 mins)


I found that this weeks tutorials are getting a lot more challenging and time consuming. I was at these lessons for pretty much the whole day trying to get them right. I struggled most with Lesson 2.2 and with creating the #C script 'DestroyOutOfBounds', for some reason I could just not get this to work after many attempts and retrying it. 


This week we had to have a player moving left to right in a scene, three animals ahead of the player that would eventually randomly spawn throughout the scene moving toward the player. The player also had to shoot out food using the space bar toward the animals. 


I find the most challenging thing with these tutorials is getting the code correct. One small mistake and the hole game breaks, the worst part being you've no idea where you went wrong so you have to spend a lot of time searching through the code to find your mistake.


Although I find it getting more difficult and time consuming I'm still not to overwhelmed and am excited to see how i can further improve my skills with Unity in the upcoming weeks.

  This is me! Hello and welcome to my introduction post, to begin my name is Mary McGee, I am 20 years old and I am from Carpenterstown, Dublin. I am a Cancer sun, Sagittarius moon, Leo rising and yes I love astrology!  I would say I have a lot of hobbies but something that I have always been super fascinated by is travel. Thanks to covid... I haven't done as much travelling as I would have liked to but some of the places I've been to and loved are Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Rome, Florence, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Lisbon, Munich, Brussels, Greece, Egypt, The US and so on... with my favourite being Florence. I find travelling is an amazing way to learn and experience different cultures and places whilst also meeting new people and having fun! I hope to get to do a lot more travelling done now as covid is coming to an end, with South East Asia being on the top of my list! Me in Paris I spent this summer living in Valencia, Spain (mostly as a ...

Game Idea Research

  Traffic Light This week for the project research we were asked to choose our favourite idea from the brainstorm last week and continue researching that idea to further see if it would be a game we would enjoy making. From my brainstorming last week the idea I think I would enjoy the most and also be the most capable of making is the traffic light game. After re-reading my brainstorm post and considering all ideas I think this was the most structured and planned idea and would work well for this project.  Since my last post I've further researched this idea and thought of more ideas for it. One of my ideas is to have it single player game with a start and finish line. The game will begin and there will be a timer counting down, a player at the start line and a traffic light at the finish line. The player is only allowed to move forward when the light is green. If the player moves when the light is red they will either be sent back to the start line or eliminated. The game wil...

Designing a game This week for the project task we had to make a Game Design Document, I used Dundoc   to create mine. This website had an amazing layout to use which made making the document a lot easier to fill out. I feel I have a lot more insight going in to making my game now. Here is a link to my Game Design Document on Dundoc!  https://www.dundoc.com/project/7854
