10:05 Today’s Notes & Attendance

Today is the official last day of Quarter 2 – all past due work due by 3pm or a zero forever! Check in with me, check in with PowerSchool, check under your desk – if you complete work, please let me know, so I can grade it. I don’t know if it is complete – unless you tell me so!

Did you have a good quarter of reading? Did you finish some books? I’ll put your book cover on the wall – just email me the book cover and I’ll do the rest. Reading Rubric – reflection

SkillsUSA – we are going to kick off Skills next week Wednesday. Think about the competition you’d like to try and who you might like to work with.

Assignment

Investigate one Artistic Job and one Technical Job and one Supervisor Job
(TD stands for technical director).
Select ones that look interesting to you, read about them and do a little research.

To earn an A for this assignment, do your homework. Your words, more than cut and paste. Assignment is in Google Classroom. Investigate, learn, share.

BTW – I used ChatGPT to look up a job. It is so easy to cut and paste and not really read the results. Be sure you answer thoroughly the questions on the worksheet. I want to know what you think, I’m not interested in what the AI thinks.

10:50 Breaks

11:00 Unity Game Engine

We’ll be working with Cinemachine, collisions and some more basic scripting including refactoring and practicing methods by calling some built in Collision methods.

Refactoring: tidying up your code

Collisions

Using OnCollisionEnter()

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
     Debug.log("Something hit me and it was" + other.gameObject);

}

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
     GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material.color = Color.red;


}

Code for the Player to initiate a Score

 //global variables here
 public int playerScore = 100;


 void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
 {
     if (other.gameObject.name == "Wall")
     {
         playerScore = playerScore - 1;
         Debug.Log("your score is " + playerScore);
     }
 }
