Learning to animate and model in Maya.
Made two different scenes, one with tiles and one with sprite shapes. Learned mainly about extra ways to work with tiles and how to use sprite shapes in general.

Today was mostly just learning about tiles, and how to set them up in unity. I did not choose the right pictures for my tile map but this is the set up I did, along with an edge collider.

Today I learned a bit about programming methods, which basically allows me to write out some code and then call it later on as many times as I need without writing all of the code out again. It also allows me to add a return value which I can use after the method has found a final value.

This was looking at how to write lists/arrays, as well as how to allow someone to add to the list/array while the program is running. The last part was the one in the video, where we simply made a list and removed items from the list afterwards.

Today I learned about using for and while loops. I ended up only posting a video of the challenge since I did it already, which was to instead make a loop that ends once you roll doubles. Luckily it only took me two tries for the video.
Today we mainly worked with if-else statements and switch statements, with the base tutorial being making a sort of checking program to make sure someone is at least 18 years old and 160 cm tall. I did this along with a tutorial beforehand which I changed to a comment in my script to save. I have not done so yet, but I plan on completing the challenge at the end of the video of making a small sort of math quiz, but using a switch statement that would explain why you may have gotten the answer wrong. It will be very simple, just having a question like 5 * 2 + 3 say “correct” if you answer 13, “incorrect, remember to multiply before you add in a math problem” if you answer 25, and simply “incorrect” if you answer something else.
Today we learned about variables, and to do so we made a simple calculator.
In the tutorial I learned more about making a console react to what I typed, and also learned how to limit what the console accepts. I learned more about how to use int and double values, and how to call on them, edit what they are in game, and make a result variable out of them. In the tutorial we made a multiplication calculator (left in the video) which multiplies two numbers. I then made a calculator for finding the average of 3 values based on the code from the multiplication calculator, which is almost entirely the same.
Today I made a simple game where you are insulted by a computer. I accidentally skipped the first tutorial but I already had everything installed so I was able to get everything done. I then went back and watched the first video. This is the game I ended up with:

Today we worked on making buttons, and I learned both how to make a button and edit its text and how to make a script that actually causes the button to do something in the scene. Specifically we made it say something in the console, made it change text on the screen, and made it change the scene to a second one.

We learned how to create game objects through scripts, and specifically how to make them come out of the player game object when a button is pressed.
