Unity Tutorial 1

Today I watched two videos on the basics and fundamentals of Unity. The aim of these tutorials is to observe and learn to be able to apply all techniques to my own game, created via Unity.

What I learned:

- When you open Unity for the first time theres a default layout, although everything is changeable.
- There's a hierarchy on the left, this is where you store all your game objects within the scene.
- Scene view is whew you store everything visually.
- Left click - selects.
- Right click - lets you pan around and view your area.
- Game tab allows you to see what your game is like when someone plays it.
- Project window is where you store assets e.g game objects, textures or scripts.
-You can change what platform you want your game to be played on.
- All coding done on Unity is on C sharp.
- Pressing F allows you to focus in your selected object.
- X axis = Red arrow / Y axis = Green arrow / Y axis = Blue arrow.
- Scale is the size of the object.
- A Box Collider is used when you don't want your player to be able to walk through an object.

What I enjoyed:


Screenshots of me trying some techniques on Unity.

I really enjoyed messing around with the terrain, creating and smoothening hills and curves. It was interesting adding colours and textures and using the opacity to blend them

What I'm looking forward to:

I'm really looking forward to actually starting my own game and learning more techniques that I can include when creating my own.

Introduction to a CDM student.

Image
My name is Marixa and I am a second year CDM student in ITB. This blog post will tell you a bit about myself and what I hope to achieve in this course. What were my biggest achievements last year? Last year I learned a lot in my course. My favorite module was Web Development, which I would definitely consider as one of my biggest achievements last year! When I started this course I had no idea how to create a website, by the end of the year I had created multiple websites and even learned how to design my finished product! Where did I go over the break? Over the break, I went to many places including Kerry and France, although my most memorable holiday this summer was my visit to Amsterdam. I went over the end of June for the festival "Awakenings". A group of DJ's such as Patrick Topping, Carl Cox, and Bicep were playing at the festival. This is a picture of the festival taken 5 years ago by Geoffrey de Kleijn.  What are my hobbies now? What hobbies would

Original Game Brainstorm.

Image
If I was to make a game, I would like it to be simple yet effective and addictive, thus why I came up with the following ideas: 1. As my first idea I thought of something very simple and easy, a game where the aim of the game is to stack objects (e.g different animated animals) on one another, until the user misses the stack or the stack topples over. The objects will keep alternating from left to right, and when the user thinks that it aligns perfectly with the stack underneath they can release the object to fall onto the stack below. It's a very basic idea, but I think it makes it all the more addictive, as the objective is simple and achievable by almost everyone. In terms of levels, I think it would be cool to make different levels that are optional, but only unlocked after receiving a certain amount of points on the first level. These other levels could include like different shapes or a time mode, to see how many can be stacked in a certain amount of time. Another mode coul

Tech Task - How to Secure your Smartphone!

Image
I think that with our growing social society, our smartphones have become a big part of our every day technology and lives. I created this post because I think rather than teaching someone how to make a meme or create bookmarks, it will be way more beneficial to teach you how to keep your phone secured from real-life everyday threats, such as hackers. Source here . Ways to secure your smartphone: 1. Use a strong password. It's known that the majority of smartphones nowadays have a passcode to access the phone. Use a number/ letter sequence that's unpredictable, for instance don't use your date of birth. 2. Turn off lockscreen notifications. By switching this off, strangers won't be able to read your notifications, over your shoulder, in the case of a robbery, and someone else gets their hands on your phone. 3. Discard automatic Wifi connections to known networks. There's a chance that a cybercriminal will establish his own fak
