Workshop01

This workshop was called: 'How do Traffic lights work'.

How it works is simple:
Your get into pairs, you and your mate try to figure out how traffic lights work. Simple, right ?

My Experience: 

Me and My panther went to work straight away. We approach it from the driver's perceptive, which wasn't wrong but everyone else took it from the traffic light perceptive. We drew out a diagram, to explain how we think traffic lights work.

The diagram we drew to explain how traffic lights work, taken by me.
The topic was entirely new, I've done stuff like this before, like the building a Lego man workshop but not this specific workshop. The learning outcome was that even something so simple that we see everyday like a traffic light, we still can't explained it or we make our explanation to complex.

It was a lesson I learnt years ago but it's good to be reminded of these things, especially learning it in a different way.

How It Was Delivered: 

Overall I thought the delivery was good, I like the exercise, how you think it's really simple but you realised that you don't really know how to explain it. I like how it got us to interact with the class, since most of us haven't seen each other in months and getting us to talk to each other.

It feels weird writing down my experience down since I never really write my experiences on workshops or anything really. I guess it's a good thing, since it makes me think more about the workshop, how I feel about it and how I think it was handle. Maybe I could use it in the future ? Maybe in Cubs or I could use it in my scouts training, like in my stage 6 training ? Maybe on camp with the Scouts and Ventures ?

I don't guess we'll see in the future.

Unity tutortial 07

Another week, another unity tutorial this time I'm not following along with Jimmy Vegas' tutorial series and instead following another series of tutorial to learn how to put an inventory in my game ! In particular, this video  Unity Inventory UI Tutorial  which is a 3d inventory ! Thank god, every fucking tutorial I looked for inventory were for 2d games, not 3d. I did find a blog as well but when I did try to follow along, it didn't go so well so I decide to ditch that and found a 5 minute video. Working on my inventory, yes I'm using my JV tutorial world and turned off fade in, Screen shot taken by me. Now it's confession time and I thought I would say this : I miss Jimmy Vegas. Yeah his tutorial weren't great but some of these tutorial go really fast and you just have no idea what is going on. That's why for my next tutorial I did Jimmy Vegas RPG tutorial #024 Boss Ai  ! Unfortunately Jimmy's Video is part of a series and I don't really w...

Unity tutorial 06: Thanks Google and Unity!

FINALLY I'm done this unity tutorial ! Oh my god you have know idea how long this took me. First Chrome decided not to work, like at all, I don't know since it wasn't my wi-fi or laptop since Firefox work fine for me, so why ? No idea. Cheers Google ! Screenshot taken by me. Oh and the Unity video froze again , then it crashed. I feel you buddy, screenshot taken by me. So how did the tutorial go ? Pretty good actually, once unity stopped messing me around, I actually didn't have a bad time. I guess my only problem is this error which I can't figure for the life of me what it's on about: Null Reference ? What you on about Unity ? Screenshot taken by me. Seriously Unity telling me Null Reference is like telling me my Dad wants me, I've no clue what you're talking about. Anywho apart from this error, I feel like this was the most useful tutorial so far, the others were great for getting back into things while learning a few new tricks but...

Wikipedia Trail: from Video Game Development to Indie Game Development

For this week, I went down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia, here are the articles I read for this: Video Game Development Overtime Labour Laws Thomas Percival Game development image, taken from Wikipedia . I start with Video Game Development because we've been talking about first playable's and alphas so I decided to look into it. I found that creating a game cost a lot, in 2010 it cost $20 million, I knew games cost a lot but I never thought it was $20 million ! I kept reading until I found overtime. Overtime, also know as Crunch, I've heard all about it in the recent months so I decided to check out what Wikipedia says about it. The article goes over what it is and how they laws to prevent companies from resorting to overtime. The page also talks about the laws in jurisdiction, which talks about the laws in the EU, the USA and other countries. This Led to me to labour laws. I looked into them because I wanted to know about labour laws and how they work. I...
