Unity Tutorial 01

Play testing what I have learn today, photo taken by me.

Today, I started to learn how to use Unity and some basic C# coding via Jimmy Vegas' videos (video 001-003). I learn a lot today, one being I don't have a visual studio licence and so can't run visual studio. Thank god I learnt that Notepad++ can do C# and that I still have Notepad++ on my laptop. The coding is a bit hard for me to warp my head around but I think after some practise, I'll have a better understanding of C#.

As for Unity, it's interesting software, I'm finding the whole moving the camera the hardest bit as most games use left click to move the camera or pick stuff up. So I keep left clicking and wondering why I've deselected the object. Also the arrows that are suppose to appear on selected object won't appear for me, so I need to figure out why because it's really annoying me. 

Overall I'm having fun with Unity, making terrain, planting trees and playing god, reminds me of Sims. I'm surprise how much you can do with just Unity without coding, I knew you could do bits in Unity but not as much as this and probably more. The future is looking bright and I'm kind of looking forward to it.

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...

First, I learned how to get access the Online version of the Matrix (Thanks Shaun !), If you guys wanna know then: Go on to the Multimedia Development 2 website and click on writing project. click on the Google Doc you noticed that the chapter titles are blue like a link ? That's because they are, click on it ! It will open a box with with another link, click on it. It will open a new tab with another Google Doc called whatever the chapter is called, there should be another link called "Chapter whatever, research Matrix", click on it. it will open another box with another link, click on it and bam ! Your in the online Matrix of your chapter !  So let's get now to business (or reflection ?), first off: WHY IS MOST OF THE SOURCES/CITATION IS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE ?!  Listen I'm not racist here, I'm just terrible at Languages in general, I've had people online think Englis...
