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.

Game Design Document

Hello ! Today I'm gonna talk about my Game Design Document, I used Dundoc to create my Game Design Document. I'm not fully ready yet, I still need to think about some elements but here is My Game Design Document! Story: Wetwood shopping center was a popular shopping center, selling many great products and being great place to hang out with friends. However after few years of success, Wetwood started to loose profits and this led to owners of Wetwood coming up with an idea. After a while, profits began to increase for the shopping center but people began to be afraid of the place, many of the shoppers acted strange, they would stay in the center. becoming angry when a product they want wasn't and even used violence.  Eventually only these shoppers continued to shop at the center as many people were afraid to even enter the center and this led to Wetwood closing down the center to save the company's image.  After a few years, You the player find the abandon ...

Unity Free Tutorials

Hello and welcome to my blog ! With My Non-swinging Axe.  This week I'm looking at unity tutorials for my game, that totally weren't sent by my mate Oisin, cheers Oisin !  To see if they can help my game. The first one is "PATROL AI WITH UNITY AND C#"   Jesus, someone needs to calm down with the CapLk.  A handy video that teaches a little bit of different coding but with little explanation of what the code does but personally I recommend muting the video and just because his voice is annoying, I'm half deaf and his voice was giving a headache ! So after doing the tutorial I came across a problem, the script doesn't seem to be working, there's supposed to be a speed box but as you can see there is none, even after I tried to listen to the video I couldn't get it to work. For some reason, the script not coming up right, screen shot taken by me. Moving onto the next tutorial, "How to make Doors in Unity"   yes I'm serious.  This tut...
