Tutorial 06 Week 19

 

my own image of the camera moving about the screen

you can see some smoke particles coming from the robot

I found both of these tutorials quite manageable, i think the camera work was a bit too text heavy and could have been explained clearer in parts as i was looking around my screen for things mentioned in the long paragraphs to try continue the work, this was a bit frustrating but i managed to get it working easily enough. i think it could have been beneficial to have done all of these sorts of installations in the first tutorial to have them out of the way and would allow people to get into a better flow of working through the tutorials. Otherwise the camera movement all works as intended. i also liked being able to expand the world and add a bit more decoration to it.
The particle effects were similar to the animation tutorials but were significantly easier and i managed to get it sorted quickly. maybe i read something wrong or i missed a part but i had to set the Y value for the particles but otherwise they follow the robot so i'm not too sure why that is working that way. the code was quick to implement and the game is very much taking shape.
