For my project this week, I worked on position my character/player on top of the buildings. I just had to create a mess to prevent the character from falling through the buildings. 

It took me a while to try and find a good tutorial and code move my player from left to right. 

I looked at unity tutorial that provided code and my character can move from left to right and also jump. 

I also created boundaries to my player cannot move out of the camera view and is limited. 

When my character jumped from building to buildings from left to right,  the player was falling through the sides of the buildings. So, I put my buildings together to prevent this and decided i am going to create a long path of buildings instead of jumping from building to building.

    Hello, Alex your alpha game is looking great, the sky and cloud background looks nice. I think your idea on having a long path of buildings will work out, but I think your initial idea would be good as well. When you finish fixing the issues in the game, I think the game will turn out good and I look forward to playing your game.

    Hey Alex, the game is coming along nicely. Good idea putting the buildings together. Making life easier for you in the long run. Are you going to have any obstacles on top of the buildings like birds or even them aerials you see on top of buildings? Could be an idea. IT seems you're getting along well and nearly done so cant wait to play!

    Hey Alex!
    Your game is coming along so good, it's looking amazing.
    The buildings look great together, I love all of the different textures.
    What other kind of things are you thinking of adding?
    I can't wait to be able to play your game, it seems like its going to be really fun.
    Best of luck with the rest of the process!

 Hey let me introduce myself. I'm Alex Partridge I am 20 years old and from Dublin and currently studying Creative Digital Media at TU Dublin.  I am now in second year, I'm super excited to be on campus and meet new people. My goal this semester is to achieve a grade to my best ability and learn new skills, such as collaborating new ideas with my peers in group projects. I also want to enhance my skills in areas of filming and editing this semester. My goal this year is not to leave assignments to "last minute" and try and balance college work and social life.   Last year was bittersweet, as I made new friends it was a bummer I wasn't on campus due to covid. The modules I relished last semester was Design Process and Practice and Image Production. I got to learn learn several new skills for instance how to use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshopped software. My biggest accomplished last semester was creating a movie poster for "Avatar the last Airbender" and

  Throughout the week I was working on my project. Firstly I applied more detail to the buildings by adding a plane on top of the buildings to give a concrete and rooftop pattern.  Secondly, I tried to create my character from scratch, creating with cubes and spheres, but this turned out to be difficult. I then watched a youtube tutorial helping create my character. I got my character from Mixamo, which is free if you have an adobe account. I looked for a character that fitted my game, so I chose a secretary. This was a perfect fit for my game. I then applied all the textures and materials to my character/player in Unity Finally, it was time to delve into the nitty gritty...coding. I first wanted to start with the basics and I put my character on the ground, instead of the buildings, as the player was falling through the building. I have yet to figure this problem. I got my players to jump and jump according to speed and gravity with the aid of the unity tutorials.  I wanted to seems l

  Finally, this week I got to create my game scene. When I first opened Unity I was kinda... lost. I did not know where to start and how to make my own assets. I was like a dear in headlights for a moment, but then I started by creating a plane to give me a base to work on. Then I created cubed objects so they can be the buildings and then finally I applied a wall around my scene which will be the sky.  Once I got my head around creating objects, it became very easy and also fun. I enjoyed seeing my vision come to life even though its in the early stages.  I also created my my player controller script, spawn manger script and move left script to get me started for the coding aspect. I have not applied any coding , as I focused on creating and setting my scene.  After I created my objects it was time to bring them to life, so I added textures. I got my textures from copy right free sources so I could apply it to my game. I watched a very useful Youtube video, which was very helpful.  I
