Studio - 3 Week-10

My presentation this week went terribly, I made a terrible project and basically got lots of negative feedback , I have another presentation due week 11 , I have a lot to think about and a lot to fix.
Some of the feedback I got was with in regards to the number of bugs, the first was  in regards to the spawn system , the spawn was not being synced which lead to a broken end game scenario which still has the same broken UI , I will be fixing the UI and revamping it to be more modern more alive and more spiced up .

The second was in regards to persistence, my game used so little that it could not even be counted, to remedy that I will be keeping track of the games played as a form of persistence in the leaderboards.
Over all it was very bad but I pulled up my socks and worked on it , but before I did I explored some option , the bloom effect in unity would be very helpful however I have no idea to implement it thus I searched and searched after a while I asked my designer for help , which paid off as my designer knew how to use it so I will be working that out later with him , In the mean time I worked on revamping my UI, made a list of bugs along the way and fixed them one at a time , I will not be ridiculed for my next presentation.

After spending nearly 4 days fixing bugs , re doing the UI I finally had a project worth being called that of  a studio 3 , I have utilized more UI components introduced color and made many changes which my lecturer asked , I even went a step further to add more persistence in the multiplayer as it feel very simple  . Below are a few screen shots of my UI over time. .  I have a lot to do and will continue to work at my current rate until submission day.

week 11

For this week I will be learning some basic animation from one of the animators to understand the workflow of other fields and in doing so I have modeled some basic objects such as a table, chair and a few other things visible in the picture below. Another learning outcome I have been working on is around making a API wherein I decided to make a dll file , the reason I chose a dll file was because this is something new to learn and it is a good way to protect my code from being used by unauthorized users . To start off on learning how to make a dll, I started with looking at lots of guides but noticed a lot of them were not using monobehaviour which is something I needed to run my steering behaviors as they use man classes found in monobehaviour such as transforms and vector3. After some assistance from my lecturer I have been able to find the right resources and start working on the dll itself but more things are yet t...

Studio - 3 Week-5

For this week I have been working on setting up by SQL database on localhost but I know nothing about it and I will be researching on how to make a table, learning the right syntax to use in php to communicate with the SQL server. The PHP code necessary for connecting to the SQL database on localhost is pretty simple as all you have to do is declare in the information needed to login into the database such as the server name, database user, database password and the databases name which can be seen in the snippet below. Next, we need to form a connection to the database and check if we are connected before we can go ahead, this is a small optimization. In order to connect to the database, we declare a reference $conn which will equal to mysqli_Connect which is the syntax needed in the PHP script in order to form a connection. The if condition only checks if a connection is made and if it has not then it will kill the connection with a die functio...

week 12

This week we were going to start building our final builds however we found a new bug which was due to poor design from my end as a programmer, last week we fixed the issue with the player partially being the in the wall however this created a new problem wherein the shields did not take and damage and this is really bad as it is a major game mechanic. To fix this issue we tried many solutions , but they all seemed to be having their own flaws & drawbacks thus we eventually decided to keep the rigidbody on both the shields and made the main objects box collider bigger with the shields box colliders being slightly bigger than the main bodies , this made the collision work properly and was a simple enough solution however I feel like this situation could have been avoided if better tech design decision would have been made from the beginning  . Once all the problems were solved I started working in 3ds max again to cr...
