Readings 4: Making progress, I think ?

Okay I think I'm getting somewhere with the Readings, the keyword is think. First, I learned how to get access the Online version of the Matrix (Thanks Shaun !), If you guys wanna know then:


  1. Go on to the Multimedia Development 2 website and click on writing project.
  2. click on the Google Doc
  3. you noticed that the chapter titles are blue like a link ? That's because they are, click on it !
  4. It will open a box with with another link, click on it.
  5. 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.
  6. 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 English isn't my first language, so no way I'm able to understand/translate this, okay ? Especially with google translate.

That or the ip address is dead so I can't get into the source. Sometimes I think that the address was bought my someone else because this is one of the sites I was brought to:
I don't speak Chinese but I'm pretty sure this is a gambling website, screenshot taken by me
I was able to find source though, I had a few from last but also found a few more, I wish I found more since sources especially about my subject, Device, seems a lot harder then I thought, they're either off-topic or useless. I either can't find dates or the full source, fortunately I had heard (well okay saw but you get the point) about a site called Researchgate.net, I signed up for it and have requested some for source and now it's a waiting game.

I also have a bit of problem, I can't remember what source I have added and which ones I haven't ! According to the Matrix I have 5, but according to a note (and good old memory) I should have 8 + 2 more I've read this morning, so I'm missing half ? I downloaded a few and was organizing my desktop so I might have misplace them, I also bookmarked a few, so they might be there ? I'm not quite sure to be honest.
My Matrix right now, I'll work on it again this weekend, screenshot taken by me


I'm probably gonna have to go back and fix a few thing. I'm gonna have to go FBI and chase down my sources but overall I feel like I have more a feel for the thing, I know next week we start writing and I don't know how I feel about that, especially with how many source we need versus how many I have. I feel like there's not enough time or I'm focusing on some modules too much. Either way I know I've a lot of work to do on the weekend.

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...

First Playable

Project update time! So this week I've been working hard on the axe side of things, I wanted allow the player to be able to pick up the axe and swing it. However I learnt something that I hope wasn't true but sadly is, You can't reused scripts!! I tried to reused the Axe Swing script from jimmy Vegas and it work, but when I recreated it, it did work ! Unity you picky bastard you. Oh yeah I also made a building too, screen shot taken by Me. I also work on taking the axe out of the wall but had to focus on the ray-casting which was a pain in the ass because I completely forgot about it and had to go back to work on it. Honestly I've spent more then 3 hours working on this and while I'm proud of what I've done so far, I also sad because I really wanted to get to the first playable stage of the game but haven't be able to, Hell I still haven't gotten to the player able to take the damn axe out of the damn wall yet. This screen shot of my game does...

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...
