Unity Tutorial 03

Image
  I have completed the next few Unity Tutorials and I feel like I am a natural at this, as altogether I completed these in an hour and thirty minutes. This batch of tutorials are interesting as we get to explore more types of code. I am an animal lover, so I couldn't resist putting more than three animals in the game, plus four of them are dogs. I don't know if I am just really good, or if these tutorials should be taking me a lot longer as I usually complete them well under the recommended time to complete them, though it is a confident boost. The only problem I had was that Unity kept telling me I had an error in my spawn manager script that stopped me from playing the game. I couldn't find the error anywhere, so I had to tell Unity to ignore that error I have a screenshot of my script here if anyone can identify the error, as I can't see it anywhere and I wonder if Unity is just broken in its error finding. If anyone can comment what the error is, I'd really appr

  I have completed the second Unity tutorial and I think I am getting the hang of it, although, I still worry about forgetting the code as I do have a lot going on in terms of work. My overall experience has been a lot better than it was when I first tried Unity. I got to give the player actual control in this tutorial which I think is a big achievement. One thing I've noticed is that it is taking much shorter to do these tutorials than expected, my first one, I forget to say, but it is estimated that it would take 200 minutes, while for me I feel like I did it in 45 to 60 minutes. This tutorial was estimated to take 50 minutes, I did it in just over 30 minutes. Although I did notice this time around I went back a couple times to make sure I was doing it right. There are some tasks I wasn't really interested in doing, such as putting comments in my code. Maybe that's just me, but I can usually work out what's going on just by looking at it without comments. But for the

So from the title of this post, you know that I have finally started the Unity tutorials. I got filled with the determination I needed to get through this after hearing encouraging words from people. I dusted off my old Unity account and installed it to my computer. Following the tutorials I found them very time consuming for some simple tasks. Also because I am kind of familiar with the Unity interface already I wasn't a fan of listening to the explanation about it and I just wanted to jump right in. But I hope future tutorials pick up the pace. They are videos after all, people can just pause and rewind if they get lost. When I did use Unity all those years ago I tried to make a 2D game, but these tutorials were for a 3D game. Though they are different, I got the hang of it very quickly. One thing that struck me was actually writing code. Back when I did use Unity I have no memory about actually writing code, so this is already going better than my last experience. After completi
