So there was a lot of debugging we had to to has a group, however I had a look at score script array because, it seemed to be loading loading “Desert” as the first level as oppose to “Basketball court” from the main menu and I came to realize that the issue was down […]

The research task for team Pear was to carry out some research on the leap motion, which in short is a USB peripheral device, which uses IR cameras and infrared LED’S to track the hand gestures of a user. Since this was a group project, we broke the task up into sub-headings such as history, […]

So now that audio has been implemented across all levels of the game, it was time to work on the scene change depending on the player score and the timer. The script in Figure 1.0 sets a new variable called timer to a float value of 10.0 seconds, which was used as the test case. […]

So this week I started looking at how to implement audio within our game, with the main focus been on background music on the scenes and sound effects on the sprites. So the music and sound effects that I have used to gain an understanding of how audio works in Unity may be changed further […]

This week in Python I gained an understanding on how to use the (sys) function in conjunction with a text file, which linked well from the work carried out in week 6. I also gained an understanding on how to manage errors in Python by using the raise, except and try function, allowing me to […]

At this point we now have multiple scenes/levels within the project. Figure 1.0 above shows two examples which are level 1 (the river/grass) scene and level 2 Figure 2.0 (the basketball scene) which shows the game in action.
