Reading 08

For this week of reading (Week 8) the main focus was writing introductions and conclusions in an essay. I was grateful that this topic came up as it will be a necessity to learn about these for my chapter. I have learnt various valuable techniques for constructing an introduction and a conclusion to an essay. For example I could begin with a very strong statement on a particular stance. This would no doubt entice the reader and make them wish to read more. I could have my introduction be an attention grabbing statement. This could work wonders, the opening line of  'A Christmas Carol' was "The Marley's were dead to begin with" and it is very highly regarded so this may be the best option. For my conclusion I may briefly summarise my whole work. I have a great deal of experience with this from writing uncountable essays in secondary school. However a new method which I am very interested in trying is offering the reader a question or a challenge I believe this may

Tutorial 07

 And now we have arrived at the final Unity tutorial for this semester. I must admit I was rather nervous for the final Unity task. I couldn't shake the feeling that the final part would be the most difficult.  Like most others the final unity task consisted two sections. "Audio" and  "Build, Run, Distribute." Something that I noticed right away was that whilst the "Audio" segment was estimated to take sixty minutes. the "Build, Run, Distribute" part was only estimated to take thirty minutes. I found the title of the "Audio" segment to be very imposing as I hadn't added full blown audio to my documentary. I had added small sound effects to my game in the first semester. However these were small and were limited to triggered sounds. For example an explosion or a death or similar circumstance. However this exercise included background music. I hadn't done this before so it proved to be a unique experience. The final Unity tuto

Tutorial 06

 For this tutorial I had to complete the following exercises. There were two segments to this exercise. The first segment was "Visual Styling - User Interface - Head-Up Display." The second segment was "World Interactions - Dialog Raycast." Both of these task estimated to take around sixty minutes. The first thing I did for "Visual Styling - User Interface - Head-Up Display." was adding a UI to my character. This was so that I could see the health of my character. The majority of this task was focused on working on the health and health bar of the player character. The second segment of the tasks for this week, "World Interactions - Dialog Raycast." began with creating a brand new character for my game. I created this character through a combination of sprites. This section of the Unity task was much shorter than the first one. Only composing of around 7 steps whilst the first section was over 13 steps. I am happy to say that whilst the tutorials
