Unity Free Tutorial #03

Hello and welcome to hopefully last free unity tutorial. This I decided to focus on tutorials on about creating a main menu, since we're coming to the end of the year, not because I need a main menu for my game. The first tutorial is "Jimmy's Vegas Unity tutorial #025- Main Menu"  , now while the video deals with Main Menu, it also show how to add sound effect to enemies but I only focus on the Main Menu section. As usual Vegas' video is slow but detail, going through step by step and explains everything along the way. Working on the main menu then Unity crash after I took this screenshot, taken by me. The second tutorial is "Make a Menu in Unity Tutorial -How to create a main menu in unity"  which is a 9 minute video and is basically the same thing as the Jimmy Vegas' video except it's much shorter so if you're looking at saving time. I would show the tutorial looks like but I already did ! Since like I said before, it's pretty m

Game Testing

This week reading is called " Giving Criticism-The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly " which is about the giving criticism and accepting criticism. This reading is interesting as it explains how to give constructive criticism, even giving examples of constructive criticism. However one wishes that this reading was given earlier in the year to get the full value out of it. Meme about Criticism, taken from  here .  Moving on to the Additional reading, the first being " Extra Credit: Play Testing ", this video focuses on play-testing in games. The video can  be broken down into 2 part, the first being, criticism of play-testing, how to handle criticism, how to listen to criticism and even to let pride mix into play-testing. This was interesting as it was simple yet understandable, as not following the advice it could led damage's one game and cost valueful resources. The next part deals with how use play-testing to its full advantage by carefully picking who sho

Wikipedia Trail: From Carol Dweck to Aristocracy

Hello and welcome back to my blog. This time we're doing Wikipedia trail, here's the trail: Carol Dweck MindSet Elitism Aristocracy A picture Of Dweck, taken from Wiki Staring off with Carol Dweck. I was interested in Dweck because she the creator of the growth mindset and that stupid block yoke , I wanted to know more about her. I also wanted to see if she had a doctor degree, she does, because most physiologist have at least masters so I wanted to see how well educated she is. This led me to Mindset. I was interested in mindset because before this course I didn't know what mindset was, so I wanted to see what are they exactly ? I also was interested to see if mindset ties in other topic such as History or politics. This led to Elitism. I was interested in this because I wanted to see how this relates to mindset. I also was curious I studied politics for the leaving cert so I was well aware of Elitism and what it can to lead to but I wanted to know what e

Growth Mindset: OH NO NOT THE BLOCK !!

Oh god it only a few seconds into the video and I'm getting flashback to my dyslexia test with those stupid  lovely blocks. I remember you would be given a card and you had to make the pattern on the card with the block, oh god I hated it, biggest pain in the arse going. I could never figure out how to make the blocks match the stupid pattern and you had to 25 of them, 25 PATTERN ?! I'M GETTING BLEEDED VIETNAM FLASHBACK TO THIS. A Meme about Fixed and Growth Mindset, taken  here Oh god I've just realized that I'm just at of spending a minute ranting about those stupid blocks and I haven't even introduced the video and s urprise, I'm not drunk.   So this video is called " Carol Dweck: The Effect of Praise on Mindsets" , one the aspects I find interesting about the video is that the kids get praise ! When did this, I was so bad they had to label me to let people know I was a stupid dopey child, DYSLEXIA  and yes I didn't google how to spell i

Game Update

Hello and welcome back to my blog ! To be honest, I haven't been working on my game, I was going to on Wednesday but then My group project prototype disappear and we had to recreate it. I'm also went away and completed my Youth Led Programme scout training. Even got my cert and all! So yeah I haven't been working on my game that much, I've still trying to figure out why the hell won't my axe swing when it did before. Why you no won't ?! Taken by me. I'm have a feeling that I may have to redo the Axe Swing  damnit  and maybe even the InflictDamage Script DAMNIT. I've also added some more weapons, now to script them ! Oh and I added a few assets because why not. Anyway that's it so I'm gonna go bye !
