Understanding C# was difficult is it similar to Javascript but much different syntax. On many occasions, because i was rushing i would mist a simple } bracket that i would not find and the visual studio would not show me an error.

But i guess this is because start Unity in a rush I may have skipped best practice setting and options.

I had trouble access variables between different script even thought logical it seems easy even follow steps from youtube tutorial but it must have been something different that I have done that I was not able to use this.

For the time i had to do this and that did not have and workshop or anyone else helping i feel that level i have acheive is excellent. But i feel from what i imagine i waned to have more levels.

Things that I want to change and continue working on. i would have liked to add many paths that are randomly selected, that each has different endings. And The 2nd player intelligence document instead of having the information back out of the other routes, it would have all the option of the routs and would inform at what part and time to eliminate the target.

I am very interested to see what other people feel about it. I did not have the change to test it with a wider variety of og people that only people i tested it with are the ones at home. At the end o the day everyone will read the document differently. it is giving a illusion the information they are giving is important even thou everything is scripted and its only on path. It would be interesting to see if they felt that their communicated would lead to a difference of the game end?

did they feel the pressure on their shoulders?

did they worry they will make a mistake?

At the current state of the game, i am worried about Level Two As this level needs clear communication between the 2 players. As the car only start to drive when the player is in the correct position. The map does not have anything to really distinguish the are is correct they will start. I believe the instructions of fly west and go down. to the southern road and the car will be traveling east is sufficient but I have not tested this enough on people to see if it really works or not.

Another option i wanted to change in the document is to change Left, Right and straight, with north, south, west and east. It would have been more correct in the manner i tried to convey.

GamePlayGIf

From the Video of the game playback you there are some issues with my code. Especially the change level with trigger because I can go to the end trigger with the player circle and Press space for the level to change. I still had too much trouble adding all the variables such as if the car is also in the trigger but this broke the code and didn't work at all.

Adding options to fire early and options to ignore. But this question the army command line where Soldiers are taught to follow instruction now matter what even if they disagree or they will be suspended...

UAV Control System

  • One person has information about subject that needs to be tracked and eleminated.
    • They have only specific information and object.
      • For example:
        • Colour (could cloths of a person) or Car or other arbitrary object.
          • This information in relayed to to second operator
1st Operator 2nd Operator
They have information and wider view of the field. They can see written information about the targeted subject. Only has narrow field of vision. The have to track them from a small area.
This operator give information to the send operator about the subject to be tracked. To try to find the subject with information such as area and surrounding things that can be easily pointed out. And from this try to track the subject. To wait for the subject to be in a specific safe area to send the details (such as place a mark, to be eliminated by the first operator)


The interaction between two people mainly will be team work

  • Articles show after a successful elimination is showed.
  • Th interaction is… playing this simulated game and communicating between two people
  • But with each succefull elimination and article will show the true devastation that accures in real life…..
  • I have a worry this may be to serious and lead away from the game interatcion.
  • I image in the interaction will be like ‘Keep talking and Nobody explodes’ where constant stream of information is vital… That if nothing is done something bad happens… and id something is done… there can be consequences that play out…. IE civilian casulties.
  • Sound of the drone.
  • Two people sitting together… the length of the game… (interaction one screen is dependent of time and length of the animation created.

NEXT STEPS How deep to animate and how much to create from the game…..

It was difficult to choose between ideas and I wanted to see how the rest of the class would react to these ideas and would make it easier for me to narrow my options and choose the best idea to go forward with.

The first idea, I like to use a polarizing filter with an LCD screen. Something about this stood out to me. However, I could not come with a feasibly interesting idea. Other than thinking about that this Filter creates privacy and something hidden. So logically I thought about how it could be a hidden search game.

Another interest I had was interactivity with Ardiuno, Thinking about gestures control. In in reality from it being something gimmicky i was thinking how i would create some substance to it. It would be how is gestured used. many people now have gotten used to controlling a computer with a Mouse and Keyboard. but would it would take for this to change. The mouse pointer was the extension of the pointer finger. So touch screen work. Even the keyboard is redrawn. on the screen to be used as touch type.

I thought about disability, this project would be more interesting if i could work closely with someone who is disabled and found a way to use gesture control. Rather than it being for a person to learn something new to do the same thing they can do with a mouse and keyboard.
