My Image                                                                        In this Unity tutorial I learned how to more about how to create a game over screen, HUD and how to restart the game. The tutorial was really helpful for the starting process of making the HUD for my game. The tutorial was also helpful because  it taught me how to restart the game when a player hits an object, and this mechanic is definitely needed in my game. I really enjoyed doing this tutorial as it helps me to shape my game more and make it look more professional. The tutorials wasn't that difficult, I found a good  YouTube video to help keep the score in my game is I look forward to continuing on implementing  that in my game. I'm also looking forward to adding the  main a...

 For this week's unity task I decided to follow a tutorial on YouTube on how to spawn side content. Image Source: Spawn Overall, I learned how to add side content in my game, I also learned some new things like positioning from the tutorial  and I also learned some other  things from the other videos in the YouTube channel.     I enjoyed learning how spawn to spawn content form this tutorial, I think it will make my game look better as the avatar goes through the game. I also enjoyed picking up some tips from  the YouTube channel’s other videos on endless games.    I wouldn’t say that I had much difficulty when following this tutorial. When practicing how to spawn side content with unity asset’s that I already had, the only difficulty was scaling and position some of the objects the way I wanted it. Actually I did have a difficulty, when I put in the code and objects I made from the tutorial into my game.  It messed up some of my main functi...

 For the unity task this week I decided to follow a tutorial on YouTube to make a health bar. Link to video: Health Bar Image source:  Health Bar     Overall, I learned how to make a health bar, but I also learned some new thing as well. In the tutorial I learned how to make the bar and heart image into a texture type, so that I could start making the health bar. I also learned more about creating an empty object, resizing them and how to transform them. When I finished making the health bar, I learned that by changing its value I can choose how much life my avatar loses and how to change the health bar color.   I enjoyed making the health bar It was something that I definitely needed in my game. I need to change some of the settings to make it suit my avatar when it loses life.   I found it difficult to do some steps in the video, like making some of the “create empty objects” I was able to make it but when I tried to resize it wouldn’t resize in...

I thought of some ideas of how the layout could look like, but it was hard to think of a definite idea. so, I decided for now that I would have three lanes that the avatar can navigate through like the one In Subway Surfers or in Temple Run. I’m going to think about what visuals and effects I can put it the game to make it look more fun. I had some trouble adding moving background visuals like clouds, but for now I’ll keep my visuals simple.

And adding background music and effects. One thing I enjoyed the most was adding the animations to the avatar it was quite tricky, but it was fun to play with the settings and make the avatar move different types of ways. Learning how to ...
