                                                                         Project For my project this week I started to put my plan into action. Starting out the project is something that I found the most difficult it took a lot of time to grasp my head around setting everything up and getting more to grips with how to lay things out. But once I found out how to add objects and start that's when things started to get a little bit easier. I started by adding a couple of ground pieces to act like where my player is going to run. I  then added a cube shape from the game object section to act as a placeholder for my character.

                                                      Unity Tutorial 06             https://www.logolynx.com/topic/unity+3d I had a very good time doing these unity tutorials this week. I learned a lot of things that I did not know before doing them. Something in particular that I really liked doing was adding special effects and also falling down graphics it was very fun to see what happened when you added cool effects and all the different ways you could make your character fall after hitting an obstacle. I learnt also about using the animator function which is very cool as I have not used it before it is quite insightful learning about different paths and how to change the animation of your character. Another cool thing I learned about was adding different background sounds and music and also sound effects when the player...
