Introduction to Nathan's world

Welcome to my introduction blog, I hope after you read this you will get to know me a little better and I hope you enjoy!   So, my name is Nathan, I’m from Clondalkin in Dublin and I’m 20 years old but most people call me Gino it’s a nickname that stuck with me years ago and people have called me it ever since and to be honest I weirdly started to like it and I’m more used to it then my own name now.    Back in 2018 I finished school and from there I went on and did a PLC in Stillorgan College studying Event Management and Digital Marketing quickly enough when I was in the course I started to realize I liked the creative side of things a lot more than anything else for example creating posters and leaflets for events. After I discovered this, I started to research a bit into what I wanted to do after the PLC and luckily enough I found this course and as soon as I seen it, I knew it was for me. After I went to the open day I was really excited and hoping I would get accept...

Unity Tutorial 03

Image
This week on Unity I followed the tutorials to make a game where there are 3 animals running towards the player from random positions and you can shoot pizza at them. I really enjoyed this week tutorials and it helped me understand Unity even more. I was wondering before this tutorial how to make stuff spawn and disappear at a certain point so they are not just running of and not disappearing. This tutorial thought me how to get rid of the animals when they reach a certain point and also how to get rid of the pizza when it reaches a certain point. I found these tutorials really interesting and I feel as if the tutorials have helped me understand Unity a lot better. One thing I would like to know is how to spawn the animals automatically, for example maybe every 5 seconds because at the moment they only spawn when I press the S key. I have some ideas in my head as to how some of the stuff I learned could be applied to my own game.  Image - My own screenshot of my Unity Anyway, I fou...
