Journal Entry 1

Date: 22.2.2025 (setup was made 19.2.)

Activity: 

• Setup UnityHub, download correct version of UnityEditor
• Setting up the Universal2D project
• Setting up the Platformer Microgame 2D project
• Following tutorial for Platrofmer Microgame 2D

Invested hours:

• Setting everything up: 1.5 h
• Tutorials and trying things out: 2 h

Outcome:

• WebGL version of base tutorial project with my changes 

Notes:

• Working in Unity for the first time is quite overwhelming, there is so much tabs, windows, options and I feel like I don't understand any of them (which is true). On the other hand after the tutorials and the first practicals I'm starting to feel like I'm getting somewhere, I feel like starting to understand the logic behind all these tabs, windows and options.
• Tutorials were great, fun. I made a lot of mistakes, for example changing decorative building's material, so they went brought foreground and so on. A lot of trying and error was made, because I don't understand like 99 % of the stuff there.
• Looking forward to practicals, because I enjoy more live lessons than reading written tutorials
