Journal Entry 4

Date: 30.03.2022

Activity: 

- Scripting

Notes:

Due to some circumstances, I did not go through a lot of scripting on the tutorials so I had almost everything to finish tonight. After 4 long hours, I am stuck on the finishing line of part 1. The bullet does not want to change its direction no matter what I try. The plan is to ask the professor on the tutorials tomorrow how to fix it and finish up this walkthrough.

In general, I kept getting stuck on the small stuff, mostly because it is all new. But even so, I do feel more comfortable with the scripting now than I did when I just started with this walkthrough.

Even though I did use a game engine before, and am somewhat used to connecting the "physical" and scripting components, the different behaviors and syntax for accessing objects made this quite tricky.

Invested hours: 

4 hours

Outcome:

Learned my lesson and will try to start early next time.
