IT 201

//What I learned in this class

Before taking this course I never touched unity. It seemed so intimidating. It still is to some degree even now. I failed a lot but I also learned a lot. I want to take a moment to reflect on everything I’ve learned that is memorable to me.

1. I  learned how to make objects -  the simplest thing. But it is also the most important thing in unity. Objects are what make a game feel like a game. And I learned how to manipulate objects.

2. Colliders - These are necessary for detecting if two game objects are interacting with each other. Otherwise, one object would pass right  through the other

3. UI - I learned how to create intractable buttons, sliders, etc.  All the things you need to create an enjoyable experience for the user.

4. Rigidbody - Essential for creating realistic movement and collision in a scene.

5. Understanding Start () and Update() helped me understand what is happening in the  game and the script execution order.

6.  Classes, Methods - I think this class allowed me to have a better grasp of object-oriented programming, especially in Unity.

7. Arithmetic, Relational, and Logical Operators - These are important in general. In unity, they are integral in implementing game logic.

8. Material - I learned how to work with material in unity. Messing with the material was fun.
9. If statement, switch statement: It implements decision-making logic inside the game. They simplify the code and make it more readable.

10. Flow diagram: It helped me break down the problem and tackle step by step. Essentially doing this made me understand complex logic.

11. State Diagram: This helped me understand how an object can go through different states depending on the conditions put upon it.

12. Loops: Useful in handling repetitive tasks and simplifies the code by a lot. Imagine doing the same thing but with an if or switch statement. No, thank you.

13. Array: Using an array we can handle multiple game objects. Using this allows us to be organized and efficient.

Overall this class was a blast and I hope to take IT 382 in the future. Thank you for everything professor.
