Red Rooster

Hey Roosters! Today I took part in the second Unity tutorial on how to make a game. This tutorial continued on from the last tutorial I completed last week. I learned how to add sound on to the diamond so when I go to collect the diamond and 'ping' sound was made to indicate it was collected. I learned how to upgrade the graphics of the terrain by adding in water with a slight dip to make the water appear shallow and not on a flat surface. The tutorial showed me how to make textures appear more realistic by bring a wall into the environment and adding different textures and colours. I also learned how to create a permanent shadow which in could decide how dark I wanted the shadow to appear in-game. In the second part of the tutorial I learned how to add in a cursor and how to change its shape, size and colour to whatever I wanted. I am still finding writing the code to be quite difficult. Coding isn't my strongest skill and it is not something I particularly like doi...

Whats up wanna be gamers? In a recent blog post I was discussing my thoughts on an article about what actually is a game and it definitely got me thinking what defines a game. Again, we all just assume we know what a game is regardless if its Connect 4 or Halo. So today I am going to be giving my thoughts on an article about what are the qualities of a game. We've looked at what game is but now we really need to analyse all the component parts and how they all fit together to make a game. The article discussed how every game has common individual components that all make up a game. Some are the phrases that were said in my blog talking about what a game is like, 'they are voluntary', 'they are safe' etc. Other components are players, goals, rules, theme, game state, player interaction along with many others. All of these elements were described as atoms. Like atoms, all of these elements can be individually studied. https://www.educationquizzes.com/educatio...
