Unity Tutorial 6

 


In this weeks tutorial I learned how to add UI to my game t show the health of my character. To create a UI I first had to make a canvas which is a game object, I chose for the UI  to be displayed in a screen space which will display Ruby's health all the time and wont be hidden by any objects in the world. I also learned how to how to use the canvas scaler to fit the screen size of the player. 

I then learned how to add an image to the UI which will be the health meter for Ruby. Once I had my health bar set up, I added an image of Ruby into the health meter to finish off the UI. I added a blue health bar to the meter to show Rubys health, if the bar is full it means that Ruby is health but if the bar is reduced to zero that means Ruby's heath is at zero.

Once I finished I created a script for the health bar called UIHealthBar.

In the next tutorial I added a new character to the world. The new character is a frog which Ruby can talk to and interact with. I added a dialog UI to the game which will make a small dialog box appear above the frogs head.

My Introduction

A Little About Me My name is Karolina and I'm 21 years old, I come from Poland but I lived in Ireland for the past 13 years, I'm excited to continue my journey in the Creative Digital Media Course. My favourite class last semester was web dev elopme nt as it was well organized and I found it the most interesting but also challenging, I feel that I have learned the most from that module compared to other modules. My biggest accomplishment last semester was making my own website from scratch, as it made me realize how much I have learned in just one year.  My goal for this module is to gain a better understanding of basic game design and to create my own game. During the summer holidays, I visited many places in Ireland such as Wicklow, Meath and Athlone. My favourite books are the Harry Potter series. Here is a photo of my cat when he was still a kitten, his name is Pepe:

 My Game Ideas 1. Maze/ Labyrinth Game: I started off my brainstorm for game ideas by researching online and watching a few tutorials on youtube, I tried to find the most simple 3D games for beginners, I came across a tutorial for a 3D maze game and I thought it would be simple enough to do.  Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLa8nPphL2gf1luu9Ux5aWj-8C11F8aLVf&v=mHFNiS6lsss&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=DennisG.Jerz I'm interested in making this game as the concept of the game is simple but has a nostalgic feeling, I picked this tutorial as it walks you through every step and is full of information. This is another version of a maze game but much simpler to make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVXGgPCxvpY&ab_channel=Gamerbot4000 2. Endless Runner Game: The second game I'm interested in making is an endless runner game similar to subway surfers or temple run because they offer fast-paced action and are addicting to play. Here is t
