Tutorial 02

Screenshot of my Unity



In the first part of this tutorial, we had to Decorate the World.  I added the metal box to the scene, then in the project settings and graphics I changed the Transparency Sort Axis coordinates: x = 0 y = 1 z = 0. This instructs Unity to draw Sprites based on their y-axis position.


When I select the Ruby GameObject, In the Inspector, I Change the Sprite Sort Point to Pivot.


The single Sprite Pivot was then positioned to the bottom. I Adjusted the Pivots I set the Custom Pivot in the Sprite Editor to 0.5 in x and 0 in y. This section was new to me, yet it was quite simple to comprehend. I then created a prefab folder and dragged the assets to build my environment.  Overall this tutorial was quite simple to do and understand and had no problems.


The second tutorial was World Interactions. I changed the script for my character Ruby's controller so that she can clash with the world instead of passing through objects. I did this by utilising another powerful Unity feature: the Physics System.


Again this tutorial was easy to do and understand and had no problems while completing the task, I used Box Collider 2D and Rigidbody 2D component. These were new to me, but I already worked with the 3d versions of these, so it was no different to the 3d box collider and rigid body.

 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 wan...

  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.
