Gamespace: Windmill

I created the functionality for the windmill before re-colouring the assets.
I added a rotating windmill to add more obstacles to the gamespace making collecting the items more difficult for the player.



Windmill Game View


The inspector for one of the windmill arms shows that the 'RotatingWindmill' script is attached to it and the speed of the windmill arm is going at 0.44.
Additionally, the other windmill arm has this script attached to it in the inspector and is also travelling at a speed of 0.44.


Windmill Arm Inspector


The 'RotatingWindmill' script allows the windmill arms to rotate around a point at a speed per second.
The float variable 'speed' has been made public meaning that this value is editable outside of the code.
The rotation command is transform.Rotate. A new 3D vector has been created to tell the windmill arm to rotate at a specified speed on the X-axis and nothing on the Y or Z-axis as these values have been set to zero.

Logo Design

I specifically wanted my logo to be an SG as these are my initials. Therefore I attempted to a few different designs until I found the one that I liked. For this post, I have put my logos on blackgrounds so that they are visible. This was my original logo however I wanted to change this slightly as I feel as though it didn't fit the feel of my website and was too simple. When creating this logo, I took into consideration my background and the type of style I wanted to go for. I was inspired by my favourite game FEZ as I really like what they did with the title of the game. If you look at their logo closely you can see the logo from both angles and really liked this effect. I decided to put the S and the G at different angles as it resembles a butterfly. When you see my logo from a different angle it looks as though a butterfly is flapping it's wings which I believe fits well with my background. I played around with the design of my previous...

Bootstrap Template

Image
I decided to use a bootstrap template for my website as I thought this may have made elements faster to implement as the template would already be responsive. I researched the benefits of using bootstrap and according to Christopher Gimmer in his 2014 blog 'Top 5 Reasons to use Bootstrap', he stated in his conclusion that, "...there are several benefits to using Bootstrap. The framework allows for rapid, responsive development that is consistent and well supported by the development and design community." His five reasons were, "Speed of Development, Responsiveness, Consistency, Customizable, Support" which I understand and agree with and therefore believe it is beneficial to use bootstrap in this project. This specific bootstrap template was similar to my mockup design and therefore by editing the code this template could look similar to what I had designed and invisioned.
