This pretty much had me twisted for several days, trying to figure out just how to get my shields working on my spaceship with how to code for both the “Player” script and the “UIManager”. I had all kinds of thoughts going through my head at firsts, trying to piece…

Today, as I was working on the first couple of challenges of implementing thrusters activating on holding the shift key and putting a shield life indicator up on the UI manager (then getting that to work with the shield function on the “Player”), I realized that my previous day's issue…

Today as I am getting towards the final goal of Phase 1 & 2 work (which is basically me being tested on what I am able to do with regards to coding), I came across my final challenge that I had to deal with before getting towards the Phases (or…

Today was actually a decent day in what I was able to get done. Though of course, it was not without its challenges in what I am able to do (as it is very normal for me still to struggle through my coding). For today I was able to get…

Today’s challenge didn’t hit me until a little before our group meeting today with the AudioSource for my explosions today. But before that, I actually used a different method to have the laser audio clip play whenever my Player shot. …

Nothing spectacular of course, but I am beginning to see the results of doing my best to understand all the challenges that have been given thus far. Today I finally finished getting the effects up, though I did have was issue with my save. To which I’ll just shortly say…

Unfortunately, Unity crashed on my computer today. I didn’t lose too much work, but I really should save more often and frequently so that this doesn’t happen again. Lesson learned. So, today I had to make the lasers be able to shoot the asteroid and make it explode at the…

I can’t tell you how relieved I am to have finally completed the User Interface section. I was mulling over the coding and why it works the way it does for days, trying to understand it so I would be able to use it/recall it without having to go through…

Unfortunately this weekend I ended up with a cold (not Covid) so have been still a little groggy today, but I still did my best to push through my daily challenges of being able to critically think through my next steps in what is needed next for my space shooter…
