Building Scripting Skills

  • Scripts as Behavior Components 
  • Variables and Functions
    • Link: variables-and-functions (5:52)
    • Notes:
      – scripts being used as behaviour components can do many things, such as change the color of  an object
      – Most examples of scripts that you will find online are either JavaScript or C#
  • Conventions and Syntax
    • Link: conventions-and-syntax (4:10)
    • Notes:
      – the dots are allow you to separate or access the different compounds
      – Semi-colon is used to terminate statements
      – You dont NEED to indent code, but it is essential to make code that can be read easily. Spacing out the code with indents can help with finding errors in the code —(–o_o–)/
      – use // to leave yourself a comment .-.
  • C# vs JS syntax
  • IF Statements
  • Loops

Scripting Resources

  • Manual reference on the Unity Documentation Site
    This will talk about GameObjects and their different properties
  • Scripting reference on the Unity Documentation Site
    This will talk about the different script methods, properties, and operators.

What I Learned

I learned more about rigidbodies as well as more about rotation scripts. The Clock helped me learn more about setting timers linked with rotation scripts.

Recommendation

Robb Kennedy

Recommendation for Noah S

It’s difficult to find someone with as much creativity as Noah. I have known Noah since middle school, and have seen him progress through different classes. Noah is very creative and has come up with many good ideas. Noah is very funny and is able to get along with others easily. I would most certainly recommend Noah S.

Every Story is the Same

• life/death

• story circle

• second dividing line – change – stasis

• you are the starting characters until you have a better choice

• Things aren’t perfect – reason for story

• What the story is about – 3. Go – sent to “other world”

• Adapt and experiment – 4

• Find what they need to find – 5

• Something is more important than you – 6

• Return – waking up/ pulled out of extreme situation – 7

• change – you are in charge of your situation again – death star is blown up – 8

 

 

Navigation

In this tutorial I learned  a little bit about AI, however around the third video I had a few problems, my version of unity was different, and a piece of code was causing errors, I did attempt to fix it and I want to continue working on this tutorial in my free time. The tutorial took the tanks game from a separate tutorial and added two different forms of AI, I enjoyed learning what I could from it before having issues with Unity. I want to continue watching this tutorial and progressing as this seemed really interesting.

Game Pitch Proposal

Title of project, group members, and the group member’s role in the creation of the pitch.

 

Executive Summary

So I took The Secret World and mixed it with Hollow Knight and Dead Cells… This game combines Hollow Knight’s idea of having to backtrack, The Secret World’s Skill tree system, and a mix of enemy variants based off of all 3 games.

 A 2-D Platforming game. You awaken in a subway station and must battle your way through different variants of enemies and obstacles. The levels have many areas to explore, and at times requires backtracking. Players will be rewarded for exploring, through weapons, items, upgrades, and even help from friendly NPCs.

Logo Creation Project

Summary
I created a logo for M.E.E.T. using Adobe Illustrator. I made 4 different iterations of my logo and used a custom font from 1001fonts.com for any words on the logos.

Sketches

Iterations

Tech Fair Logo
M.E.E.T. Logo

 

What I learned and problems I solved

I learned how to create basic shapes in Adobe Illustrator as well as how to add fonts to a mac. I also learned how to transform objects and text. I learned how to create ink blots in order to make a logo. I learned to make radial and linear gradient colors as well, which helps with contrast. I had problems with figuring out how to place text on a path as well as figuring out what I wanted for future iterations. The most challenging part of the project was figuring out how to transform text. I am most proud of the reverse text M.E.E.T. Logo, as that took a long time to create, despite it being a simple design. I downloaded the Halo3 font from 1001fonts. I used the shape creation tool, the transform tool. the text tool, and the symbol sprayer tool.
