UNITY TUTORIAL 03

This week I learned how to give Ruby a health status. I added a maxHealth and currentHealth variable to the RubyController script. I made sure that Ruby would have full health at the beginning of the game by adding "currentHealth = maxHeath" in the start function. I added a ChangeHealth function along with the appropriate code that allows the health status to change. I brought a strawberry into my scene as a collectible object that boosts Ruby's health. I applied a box collider to the strawberry and activated "is trigger". I created a new script for the collectible and applied the code that would allow Ruby to collect the strawberry and give her health.

I added a damage zone to my scene and created a script for it. I applied the code that would cause Ruby's health to decrease if she were to come in contact with it. I changed the sleeping mode of Ruby's prefab to "never sleep" and edited the RubyController script so that she will be invincible for a bit while standing in the damage zone. I also introduced an enemy bot, turned it into a prefab, and gave it a script. I added the appropriate code that allows the bot to move back and forth in the scene. I edited the code so that Ruby will take damage when she collides with the enemy.

INTRODUCTION TO SOMEONE WHO'S JUST VIBING

HEY!! Look who made it to her second year of college!! Me, Nadine, I did!! Yeah, I'm even more surprised than you are. Happy girl illustration by 94MLK_ on Twitter. Saved from Pinterest . Last year wasn't too bad, but that was up until the whole country went into quarantine and I began to fear for my college career. I was constantly on the verge of giving up on my assignments but I would like to thank my friends for not allowing that to happen. I'm so glad I get to start year two with them and hopefully we'll make it to the end together too! Despite the stress, there are a few pieces of work from year one that I'm proud of. I liked the websites that I created for Web Development 1 and 2, the video I edited from Introduction to Digital Media mission 3 and the advertisement poster I made for Digital Photography. I hope to produce better work this year. Personal screenshot from the index page of my web development 1 project. Personal screenshot from the index page ...

FIRST PLAYABLE

Continuing with the creation of my game, I resized the player character to make them even smaller based on a comment that was left on my last project blog. I also repositioned the trees to make the space slightly narrower and added some flowers to bring some colour into the scene. With reference from the animal feeding game tutorial, I was able to get the player moving left and right by clicking the arrow keys. I brought in rocks and a branch for obstacles but I need to apply a SpawnManager script and get them to spawn randomly during gameplay. I also have to figure out how to get some branches falling from the trees and bringing in power-ups and points too. Screenshot from Unity3D of my game production.

GAME IDEA RESEARCH

Runner animation by Otilija Morozaitė from Dribbble . Following last week's game brainstorm , I have decided to focus on and develop my idea of creating an infinite runner game and will be thinking about three game mechanics I will include. I will be drawing inspiration from the Ghibli Studios film, "The Secret World of Arrietty" for the theme of my game. Obstacles are implemented within games to create a challenge for the player and to make it more difficult for them to win or in the case of infinite runner games, prevent them from playing forever and becoming tremendously bored. For my game idea, I plan to scatter stones along the lanes that the player must jump over or switch lanes to avoid. There will also be twigs falling from the trees which will create shadows before hitting the ground so the player is aware and can attempt to avoid them. A feature will be applied that allows the player to move left and right. Rewards will be available to the player throughout th...
