Twitter Task 10

 Twitter Task 10


For this weeks Twitter task I had to make a list for my peers and one for everything multimedia and game development. To be honest, I had known about twitter lists but because I don't use twitter that much I never fully understood how they worked. Finally finding out that they just bring together a showing of all the people or hashtags you add is EXTREMELY useful even for my personal twitter.

I used to have multiple twitter accounts for different things I was into so that they wouldn't all muddle up into one. For example, I had an account for just video games and youtuber posts and then one for everything Boxing and Basketball related. Learning about lists makes things so handy now. On my student twitter I found it quite helpful because not only have I followed my classmates but I've also followed Creative Directors of a lot of video games and movies so all the posts were getting muddled up and hard to focus on. So to fix that I made a list for all my peers so I can see what they're all tweeting about and see how they're finding things.

Introduction to a future somebody

Introduction Post   Hey, how are you? My name is Adam and welcome to my blog. This post will be focused around introducing myself so you get to know a little bit more about me! Me and some of my friends, sometime last year Early Life First off, my name is Adam Patrick Anthony Finn. I was born in the Coombe on March 5th, 2000. My Dad tried to name me Patrick after himself and my Grandad which would have made me Patrick Finn III but my Mam disagreed and I'm kind of grateful for that. Anyway, I grew up around a lot of family as we didn't have a lot back then. I would spend time at my Nana's while my parents worked and made enough money to move into our own house in Ardmore, Tallaght. (if you don't know where that is, it's right next to the lidls that got torn down during the Snowstorm in March 2018) After a while, my sister was born and we decided to move house on St. Patrick's Day 2006 and are now living in Lucan.  Hobbies & Music Taste Skipping ahead, I went

Vision Statement

 Vision Statement Introduction Roll-a-Mole is a fast-paced, top-down re-imagining of the classic arcade game Whack-a-mole.    Roll-a-Mole sets you, the player, in the ring to square off with those pesky moles that are destroying the arena and coming to take your title belt. You can't stand for this and that's why you launch into action rebounding off the ropes to come firing straight back into the action as you try to reach a High-Score and defeat the moles. -Whac-a-Mole, Arcade Game (1975) Background Whack-a-mole is a classic arcade game with physical components such as the mechanical moles that emerge from the holes and the hammer that the player uses to bash them away and gain points. This arcade machine has been taken and spun into so many differing concepts of the original but none have delved into the virtual side of gaming and truly reinvented the core mechanics of this classic video game whilst maintaining the same powerful nostalgia. Until now.  With a virtual edge add

I thought it was very intimidating at first and to be honest it still is intimidating, maybe even a little more so. Once I opened my project and began working I made a plane and a cube to start which I then scaled out to make a rough  boxing ring platform. I downloaded a boxing ring asset which had a weird platform but the ropes and the poles were okay so I used them with the project. I also imported some texture assets to add to the ropes and poles. I ended up changing their colours and smoothness. I went into illustrator to quickly mockup a texture for the surface of the ring that would also help guide me to put in the moles. I added holes and a boxing logo just for detail. I had to do some maths to figure out the dimensions of the pole
