2D Unity Tutorial 01 A new semester, a new Unity tutorial! This time I'm learning how to create 2D games. Some of my favourite 2D games are 'Ori and the Blind Forest' and 'Hollow Knight'. Both of these games happen to be created using Unity. In this first tutorial I learned all the basics of setting up the 2D environment for the game. It took a bit of getting used to with all the different tools you need like the tile palette for basically painting the scenery onto the canvas. Making the character sprite move is kind of similar to the 3D version which is nice to find and makes this process easier. One thing I found difficult about this Unity tutorial was the depth perception of the tiles that are laid down as the environment. I think I'll get to wrap my head around it in the next few Unity Tutorials. I look forward to learning the next few steps in 2D game development! :) A screenshot of the end results of the tutorial.
2D Unity Tutorial 03 In the first part of this weeks 2D Unity Tutorial I learned how to add a health collectible to the game. I struggled a little bit with the coding aspect for the health collectible as I kept getting a red error message at the bottom of the unity editor. I had no idea why it wasn't working and it was extremely frustrating. The tutorial was not helping me in the slightest either. The code provided in the tutorial was incorrect too. Comparing it to the final code given at the end of the tutorial didn't make it any clearer either but a quick copy and paste solved the mysterious problem. (A screenshot of this weeks Unity Tutorial) The second part of this weeks 2D Unity Tutorial I attempted to learn how to add a damage zone and an enemy to the game which would move around the game area. The enemy just did not work out, the code doesn't function as the tutorial lets on that it will. This is extremely confusing and frustrating and makes me want to throw my lap...
Growth Mindset I find that with certain things I have a fixed mindset like I said in my previous post where I give up on learning new songs on the piano. I have a better mindset with skateboarding, I fail but try again and again until I get it right. This is a simple way to look at this as my motivation is obviously stronger with different things for different reasons.
