0. What is the link to your project on itch.io?

  https://ziraldom24.itch.io/updraft-mi231
 

1. What are the controls to your game? How do we play?

  Move - WASD, Boost - Space
 

2. What creative additions did you make? How can we find them?

  N/A
 

3. Any assets used that you didn't create yourself?

  N/A
 

4. Did you receive help from anyone outside this class or from anyone in this class that is not in a group with you?

  Matteo: I recieved help from Cameron Henderson & Max Gzym. They helped with the PlabeControls script.
 

5. Did you get help from any AI Code Assistants?

  Nolyn: I used ChatGPT.
SpawnWorldObjects.cs: I asked it to fix this error for me: Assets__Scripts\SpawnWorldObjects.cs(33,39): error CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'System.Collections.Generic.List<UnityEngine.GameObject>' to 'float', Here's the code: int ndx = Random.Range(0, prefabs);
GameObject gObj = Instantiate(prefabs[ndx]);
It gave me this code: int ndx = Random.Range(0, prefabs.Count);
GameObject gObj = Instantiate(prefabs[ndx]);
Grpundfollow.cs: I asked it to do this: // Set the position of transform to the position of pointOfInterest, but
// make sure that the y is locked to 0
It gave me this code: transform.position = new Vector3(pointOfInterest.position.x, 0f, pointOfInterest.position.z);
SpawnWorldObjects.cs: I asked it to do this: // Set x, y, and z values of a Vector3 pos from spawnRange values
It gave me this code: Vector3 pos = new Vector3(spawnRange.x, spawnRange.y, spawnRange.z);
SpawnWorldObject.cs: I asked it to fix this error: Assets__Scripts\SpawnWorldObjects.cs(37,39): error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.Vector3' to 'float, Here's the code: Vector3 pos = new Vector3(spawnRangeMax, spawnRangeMin);
It gave me this code: Vector3 pos = new Vector3(spawnRangeMax.x, spawnRangeMax.y, spawnRangeMax.z);
SetWorldObjects.cs: I asked it to do this: // Set the position of gObj to pos
// Set the localScale of gObj to be between scaleMin and scaleMax
it gave me this code: // Set the position of gObj to pos
gObj.transform.position = pos;
SpawnWorldObjects: I asked it to this: // Set the localScale of gObj to be between scaleMin and scaleMax
float randomScale = Random.Range(scaleMin, scaleMax);
gObj.transform.localScale = new Vector3(randomScale, randomScale, randomScale);
it gave me this code: // Set the position of gObj to pos
gObj.transform.position = pos;
// Set the localScale of gObj to be between scaleMin and scaleMax
float randomScale = Random.Range(scaleMin, scaleMax);
gObj.transform.localScale = new Vector3(randomScale, randomScale, randomScale);
ChaseCam.cs: I asked it to do this:// We want the camera position to move toward the CamPoint child of
// Plane and look at the LookPoint child of Plane
// Set transform.position based on a Zeno's Paradox version of linear
// interpolation with easing as the U value. Look up Zeno's Paradox
// in Appendix B or look at how the camera moved in Mission Demolition
// Use transform.LookAt to make the Camera look at lookPoint.position
it gave me this code: // Move the camera toward CamPoint using Zeno's Paradox-style interpolation
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, camPoint.position, 0.1f);
// Make the camera look at LookPoint
transform.LookAt(lookPoint.position);

Matteo: I used AI for KeepBelow and PlaneControls scripts. Googles AI at first when searching code. Then used chatGPT. Google: searched: "move transform.position to a y position" I got: transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, newYPosition, transform.position.z);, searched: "Set slid to the Slider component attached to this GameObject" I got:slid = GetComponent();, I searched: "clamp c# code" I got: Mathf.Clamp
For chatGPT I simply put "write c# code for:" and put in the code I couldn't figure out... most of PlaneControls. I got these as answers from GPT: "float timeSinceLastBoostTime = Time.time - lastBoostTime;
boostU = timeSinceLastBoostTime / boostDuration;"
"float rotationAmount = hAxis * rotVel * Time.fixedDeltaTime;"
"yVel += yVelGravity * Time.fixedDeltaTime;"
"if (other.transform.parent.GetComponent())"
 

6. Did you get help from any online websites, videos, or tutorials?

  Nolyn: I didn't
Matteo: I used the Unity Documentation site a little when I was stuck. Not sure if it did help.
 

7. What trouble did you have with this project?

  Nolyn: I had a few issues trying to figure out how to fix a few issues, but used chat to help me fix them, I also couldn't solve a few codes challenges, so I had to use chat.
Matteo: I had trouble with what to write for code. I think I'm understanding what code says from the projects, but writing it, even with the commented out hints, I got stuck. If I got errors, I trial and errored to see what was going wrong. But I didn't have too many errors to deal with.
 

8. Is there anything else we should know?

  No answer given.
