Planning

Today many people in my class where choosing what chapter and sub-section they where each going to do for the academic paper we are all going to begin making next week, luckily I had already done so the week before and choose the sub-section "Games for Entertainment" for chapter 1, and made a list of different key words that I hope will allow we to find research much easier.

We also learned from a woman named Lindsay Dowling who works in the collage library how to find information for are different sections through eBooks and academic papers with the use of the TU Dublin Blanchardstown online library thought the use of the database as well as how to order and pickup books from the campus and how the digital books will delete them selves once the time is up and there due, which is vary helpful because then I don't have to worry about be overdue.

Another helpful piece of information was how to sight into refwork which will be vary helpful to avoid plagiarizing anything by forgetting to add it to reference. However I did have trouble making an account do to my password expiring but once I change it worked. Once that was done I got to work organizing the files.

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)
