Interactivity 1- Lesson 1 (Introduction to Unity/Tests)

When first choosing Interactivity I felt unsure on how I would get along with Unity, which is a program I have never used before however I enjoy challenges and learning new skills, so I was excited at the prospect of using it. Luke explained the unit to us and that we would be making a game. This excited me however I was scared at the complexity of it all and at the beginning I found it difficult to keep up with the others however after playing about with the program for a while I began to get the hang of it.

During the lesson we made a room by making three walls and a floor. We then added colour and lighting to make the room look more interesting. Luke then showed us how to make objects move, which I found really interesting. To do this we had to make a cube and make the surface 'bounce', which makes an object move up and down when you play it.

My project (Boxes hovering were made to 'bounce' so they could move around the box. 

We then looked at coding which was quite difficult to do also as I have no coding experience. We were given pieces of code to allow the different objects to follow commands through what Luke was taught as 'catAsleep, mouseAwake and mouseHide' which were key phrases to make the coding simpler to use. I feel after experimenting with typing code I got the hang of it however the smallest of mistakes can prevent the project from not functioning properly, so I will have to take extra care when writing code.
