Week 4: Two Steps Forward One Step Back

With week four drawing to a close I feel as though I have learned much this week. I have started on the journey of attempting to do the roll a ball project in Unity Script. Now I know that this may sound like a step backwards but allow me to elaborate. The first time we did roll a ball it was in C# and the code was spoon fed to us with little to no explanation as to what was going on, so I have decided to do roll a ball from scratch using Unity Script to get a better feel for the language. Already I have run into several problems and overcome them such as getting the ball to actually move as well as creating a public variable that holds the value of the speed the ball moves at. Aside from my personal endeavors however the class has set about doing the second tutorial realizing that the 2D Rouge project would be too advanced. I have gleaned several important bits of knowledge from the scripting that we have done with this and I have already applied these into my personal roll a ball project mostly on the movement aspect of the ball. I also plan to implement the bits of code that we have learned that track if two things are touching into the roll a ball game as well for various parts of the project because upon completion I plan to expand this into a full game. Until next week loyal reader!
