Studio - 3 Week-12

This post will be short, maybe even the shortest as all that’s left for the final submission is to finish off the last of the paper work, some last minute bugs and clean up the game. I have also worked on uploading my game to the android play store which has always been a challenge. During the android building the builds need to have many things checked off such as bundle identifiers, company name ,product name and a default icon which is a screen shot edited to fit the 512*512 resolution .


In the other settings, we need to set the version & bundle version code every time a build is uploaded to the app store as this helps the play store determine the games version.

I started checking the learning outcomes completed this week , which are all in the green which means they are done , along with proof they are there in a small excel sheet . I have also worked on moving all my learning outcomes into one project however this has caused the commit to be very large and GitHub lags while I try to push them however I managed to push them successfully.

Some last minute bugs in the game very small as the audio not being passed into the OnClick method thus many of the buttons had no audio which is was really bad on my end, after which I realized the way I was implementing the no of games played only worked when I clicked on the disconnect button, thus I extended this functionality to be called when the player won/ lost allowing me to have this feature.
Next I prepped the itch.io page and decided to upload the finished builds however I am sure I will have to make some changes to them later but at least I will have my games store page ready.

Finally ,  I will be adding the blog  and be submitting early in order to switch focus towards CIU212.

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...
