Day 1 : 02/12/2024 : My Skill Up Journey

Introduction

I want to create games/ learn Japanese and brush up my English language skills through this journey, I will be sharing all things I did in a day and what difficulties I faced while doing them.

Game Design

I am reading this book called “The Art of Game Design” - Jesse Schell, today i completed few pages of this book and i read about the Lens of Fairness, Challenge and Meaningful choices.
These Lens are corelated with game balance types such has Fairness: Symmetrical and Asymmetrical games, Challenge Vs Success, Meaningful choices and also I read about Triangularity.

Unreal

I am creating 3D block out level for a famous AAA game title called “Last of Us”. Today I polished my red path and created new green path these are the defined set paths in order to complete the mission objective.

HTML/CSS

I am creating a registration form in HTML and styling it with CSS. In today’s progression i have added For, Submit, Required, Pattern attributes, and for password minimum 8 characters required so i used minlength=”8”; and added legend element to fill mandatory fields.

Languages

For learning Japanese language I have started to watch videos from you tube channel called Learn Japanese From Zero! and I completed first video of the series and learnt few Hiragana letters.
For English language I am learning from BBC Learning English, today completed 2 sessions from Unit 1.

Challenges faced today

In unreal editor it was tough to place path text so I split them up in few chunks and placed around the assets as my requirement.
I couldn’t remember how to use attributes and legend element so I had to refer my old notes and correct my code through 1-2 iterations.(HTML)
While writing JavaScript code for shooting star, I was not sure how to create star out of basic shapes. So I used two triangle and placed one up and other one down made it into a star its not pretty but it works.
