 The topic of Reading Week 6 was focused on paragraphs, this will be very important for my chapter. This week's reading task taught me. some very useful techniques and tips. For example, ensuring that you include an introductory sentence in each of your paragraphs as well as a conclusionary sentence. The paragraph suggested that you either indent or skip a line. Another vital tip was that each paragraph should have one main idea being presented. Everything you mention in this paragraph should relate to and support this point, including random facts will make your entire paragraph suffer. You shouldn't try to argue more than one idea per paragraph. This will undoubtedly help me with my book chapter.

This Unity tutorial followed on from the previous week and covered 'Camera - Cinemachine' & 'Visual Styling - Particles.' Unlike some of the other tutorials I didn't really have any similar tutorials I had already completed to draw from.  This Unity tutorial introduced a brand new Unity package known as Cinemachine. This would enable me to control the camera without needing specific code. This foreign tactic was strange but I believe I got the hand of it eventually. The next part of the tutorial I did have some experience with as I had used a type of particle effect in a prior tutorial during semester 1. Although not entirely the same it was similar in principle and I believe this conceptual familiarity did help with this tutorial. Overall I feel like this tutorial went okay. Whilst the beginning was a bit difficult I feel as though the second part was slightly easier

 In this tutorial I covered 'Sprite Animation' and 'World Interactions- Projectile' I found the first segment of this tutorial to be more difficult than previously anticipated. Although it took far longer than expected through trial and error I was able to sort the issue. Fortunately the tasks involved with this section were vaguely similar to tutorials I had completed before in the first semester. This involved creating a projectile for the game which I had experience with. This tutorial felt like a mixed bag as I had difficulties but I also did well part of this tutorial  

 And so we continue onto reading week 4 (or 16 if you would prefer)

 Continuing on from last week's tutorial I had to complete a new set known as 'World Interactions - Collectibles' & 'World Interactions - Damage Zones and Enemies.' The First thing I did in the first section of the tutorial was add a health stat to the main character Ruby. After this I made a few changes to the health of Ruby. Following this I created a collectible health object for the tutorial. After this I did a task which was similar to a task which I did in the first semester. I added an enemy to the game and gave them the ability to damage the player I enjoyed this tutorial and although I found it to be a bit difficult I did enjoy it what I learned from this task

 For reading task Week 3 I had quite a task to complete. Although I have had some difficulty with getting into the swing of these reading tasks I believe that I am now getting better. For this week I researched Active and Passive reading. Although at first they seem to be one and the same and not that different. Active reading involves actively thinking about the content you are reading rather than merely absorbing the info. It also involves considering where said information comes from, who created it and is the creator biased in anyway However. Passive reading is wildly different as instead of seeking to gain more knowledge the reader merely absorbs the information without thinking twice. Instead of questioning anything in the text the reader accepts it at face-value and doesn't dig any deeper, looking for other sources to backup the claims presented. Active reading will be critical for the book I am contributing to. Please leave any advice that you feel would benefit me and my w...
