Studio - 3 Week-11

My presentation went really well, I made lots of progress which is something I should have done a while back. During the week I mainly worked on balancing the game as well as adding additional eaves as the single player of the game was very simple along with even more balancing.
I found a serious level of lag in the multiplayer in regards to the spawning thus I have decided to remove it from multiplayer which although an important feature cannot be there as it affects the performance of the networked game which is due to go down the toilet hole during the showcase .

I also worked more closely with my graphic designer to clean up the colors for my UI so it clashes less with other UI elements along with adding more UI, now we have a better leaderboards and an additions of end game scenes as well as a simple help scene to get an idea of how the game works.
I also conducted some beta testing this week to find more bugs, I have also consulted with a graphics design teacher for my UI to make it more appealing.

It’s almost the end of the week and all my paper based Learning outcomes are done , I will be optimizing the game further and preparing the android build for the player store and fixing bugs for my week 12.

I also implemented the post processing stack into the game which has allowed for the visually appealing Ui which will be talked about more in my game math and art paper, which I will finish towards the end of the week along with my research on limitations of android which will be finished by the end of the week which leads us to the android testing, I have been utilizing the profiler in unity to my android version of the game & I found many memory leaks to fix.


After finishing my papers, I worked on fixing more bugs such as one with the game pausing in the single player campaign, along with the last of the paperwork due in week 12.  I have also worked on the end game scenario which took longer than expected , this was expected however I solved it and now must work on finishing up the android build as I need it on the app store a week before so It can get approved in time.

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...
