Mission one
Blog Two
The second stage of creation was great I found it very enjoyable. I stated before that we split up all the work in even chunks. I started testing all the  platforms that would allow us to do this in the allocated time that we had. I decided that it was best not to code it from scratch in something like python or java as that would take too long. I started to look at platforms that would do the bulk of the coding for us, and allow me to code my simple means. I the end I was stuck between two browser editors called gamer maker 3d and flow labs.
Game maker 3d as the name implies is a 3d game editor. I know before in the last blog I said that making a 3d game would seem like too much work I found the program very easy to use and showed puritanical.
After a discussion we decided that flow labs was the better chose.
Reasons why





Flow labs is a editor make phaificly for 2D games, we talked earlier about how it would be best to make a 2D game,(due to our time restraints. Flow labs was a very easy to use application with simple and concrete code. My main two jobs for this project was (self appointed) Level designer and art director. In level designer I need to now how the physics of the game would work so I work very close with Eoghan to ensure the level layout would complement the games play style. I was challenged here because I needed to balance the level so it was still enjoyable to play but it wasn’t to easy that when you won it would feel like an achievement.The game was to be set in a tree, and depict an apple help sir Issac newton  discover gravity by hitting his head. I looked at other games to see how they tackled the level layout. I looked at games like the legend of Zelda a timeless classic. The game its self wasn’t a platform so I wasn’t sure if I could take much inspiration from it but I found it helpful due to seeing  all the different obstacles in links way. The game that helped the most was DK or Donkey Kong the layout of that game as you might be able to tell greatly inspired me in the layout.
While in that game the objective to to get to the top. In our game it is to get to the bottom. I found a similar format work very well and it made it into the final product. 
Once we knew now the level was going to look I needed to create all the right and textures that would be needed for the map layout. I did this by drawing the assets in the block editor built into the program.

The game was to be set in a tree, and depict an apple help sir Issac newton  discover gravity by hitting his head.

Game Elements

  Game Elements Readings   The first reading was about the qualities of games  and  elements of games. main points  I'd  like to take out of this reading is  First  off,  Shawn's lovely backtracking.  😊   “ Okay, so I may have contradicted myself: I insisted that a critical vocabulary was important, and then I went on to say that completely defining the word “game” is impossible. Let’s reconcile this apparent paradox.”     Going  in and talking about the elements of the game is how you define a game genre. it's style and its target  audience. I will explain  how,  browsing through games or even searching for them the creator or its fans but categorize the game into certain categories so it may get recommended or seen by other people who like similar games. For  example, you like battlefield it's a first-person shooter versus players, you might get recommended Call of Duty. A...

Unity Tutorial 10

  The game is  actually fairly  intensely good right now. there is a lot of UI elements that we need to add and that's what we're getting into today at least to begin with. So as of right now when the player misses his  target  he doesn't get a game over screen he that's to continue playing as if nothing has happened nothing is changed.   so  we're going to be looking into making UI elements and a game over screen that will restart the save from the beginning of the program.   to do this we're going to be using a button which you haven't.  Will  do this with  the  reset button underneath the game over overlay to do this we're going to use a button and a game method called restart game it looks like this....     RestartGame ()     With this button we can reload the entire scene restarting the game.     So  the first thing you want to do when you get into unity is create a game over text mesh an...

 Unity Tutorial 08     In today's unity task we need to make the enemy sumo balls fight back and infinitely spawn.  After defeating one enemy you will then fight two, after you defeat  two  you'll fight three, and after you've defeated three  enemies   you'll  fight  four  so on and so forth...   We do this by using  for  loops and not just constantly using the same method.   This is done by setting conditions and setting it up so when this condition isn't true the method will stop. if that makes sense. We do this by changing properties of I and setting eyes to be equal to other properties entire to explain and I don't fully understand it myself as I haven't  looked into  it in  detail  I just followed the tu to rial.  This will only spawn three enemies off the bottom we still have to set it up so it will continuously spawn increasing numbers of enemies starting at one.     So ...
