Week 2 Blog Post (17/10/ 22- 23/10/22


This week was a big success in terms of learning and understanding more about HTML and Javascript by understanding the creation of arrays , functions and loops as well as how to use them to complete tasks given  to me. 

I began the week by looking into 2D animation , how we can use it for our project as well as time based vs frame based animations and what the pros and cons are off each type of animation, I learnt that a time based animation would be better for a multiplayer game as it would make sure that no player is lagging behind and is out of sync with the other player(s).

After researching 2D animation and its uses, I learnt about graphs , easing functions , sine and cosine waves. I spent a couple days looking into how these things can be used for developing games / making mechanics. For example, I researched how a projectile would shoot and applied it to a graph using different equations to get an accurate result. 

I ended the week by familiarising myself with classes as at the start of the next week I will start the end of project game using phaser, I have already used classes before as I have used them when making games using Unreal Engine, this was more of a case of learning how to create them in JavaScript and what the difference is between the 2.

My goals for next week are to start working on the project in which I will submit by understanding what I need to do in order to achieve the best grade possible as well to learn more about phaser and other aspects of javascript to ensure that I can do the best that I can
