Reading 03

I had two main problems when it came to making my annotated bibliography, the first problem I had was actually finding recourses that where relevant to my chosen section based on the theme of "Games for Entertainment", however after a while of searching through the collage library database I managed to find papers and articles relevant to games and entertainment. However I had to include some more key words to my own list such physiological and entertainment in order to reduce the number of irrelevant papers in the database.

The second problem that I had was reading through the papers and articles that I chose in order to find all the relevant information needed to write an annotated bibliography which means that I couldn't just skim through it but instead be thorough when reading it, which quite a while, luckily the papers I chose all had abstracts so it help give me a general idea of what the authors was looking for and how they where going to do it.

I have made  significant  progress in the development of my game. I have attracted the camera to the player characters as a child object in order to make the camera fallow my player when he moves and turns. However I have bean having trouble with jumping, I was fallowing the instructions from a tutorial  5 but for some reason when testing it I was only able to jump once and was not able to do it again. I and also not sure how to add the triggers to the button and the X platform as you need to interact with them to win to show that the game is won or not. However I am looking into the problem.  I have also managed to add an animation to the button so that the red cylinder to go down when the player triggered with its box collider.   (before trigger) (after trigger) link  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS4k_lwmZHk&ab_channel=SpeedTutor

(picture of me) Hello readers my name is Bernard Mac Donagh I was born in Co. Dublin on the 20th of December 2000 to Alan and Janet Mac Donagh, I have two older siblings the first born, is my brother, Alan jr and the second, is my sister, Lauren who is a doctor and I have a pet dog, a cocker spaniel named Rio. This will be my second Year at TU Dublin Blanchardstown, the course that I am doing is Creative Digital Media. My goal is to learn the different methods of design from video to poster to games. I feel like this year is going to be a bit more difficult that last year due to me us having to do everything online but once I get into a routine it will get less hard over time. When I graduate from collage I am hoping to use the skills that I  have acquired in TU Dublin to to get a job as a graphic designer designing posters and logos. When I was younger I wanted to become a game designer but I changed my mind once I relisted how complex they are. Hear are some facts about me, before I

After much trial and error I have managed to finish the core mechanics how my controller and jumping as well as having some animation to portions of my game with the button. However I have been having trouble with my player character jumping for infinity but with the help of my lecturer Shaun Ferns he found a way to fix it but unfortunately for some reason my player was no longer able to rotate left and right and the controls where reversed so that backward was forewords and left was right. So I decided that the infinity jump was just a small problem and abandoned trying to fix it , instead just giving my game a roof. I am know trying to animate my player movements, as of right know I have managed to give my player the idle animation but I do not know how to change to walking and running just yet but I am looking into solutions for this problem. (T-pose: Before) (idle pose : Now)
