@Nomad72 the password is not required anymore. They changed this recently. You can now go through the videos and such without a password. Also when there is a download they use those assets in their tutorial.

OK, thanks tra2002. I'm assuming I need to provide my own 3 explosion sounds, since I've not seen a link for downloading anything for Lab1.

Do you also know if they are still grading the presentations?

[tra2002]

Here is the link explaining how it works now and all the information you are asking

@tra2002 Thanks man, I appreciate it!

@Nomad72 Check this video out if you want to create your own sounds.

Are you guys ever going to do a C# equivalent? JS is kind of outdated and isn't really an industry standard.

[profcwalker]

@MikeyUchiha: There are no plans to convert these projects to C#, however many individuals have gone through the course and honed their skills further in C# by converting the projects from JavaScript.

[MikeyUchiha]

Aww alright. Thanks for your time. It looked amazing til I found out it wasn't C#. XD

I got one big problem... I can't import models to Unity coz it show me error. This one:
Can anybody tell me what I doing wrong?

I'm just starting out with Unity, but I'm having no real problem translating the JS into C# as I go along. There are a few instances where you need a bit more than a straight translation of a line of code (for instance when dealing with Coroutines), but it's not a massive issue to use these tuts with C#.

@jonlemosz, thanks for the link.

I'm about finished with Lab1, just trying to figure out the code for making the sphere move in a circular pattern. Although I doubt my little "game" is likely to challenge Skyrim for earnings, it's been a very nice learning experience and I'm excited about moving on to the next Lab(s).

[Nomad72]

OK, the "sphere move in a circlular pattern" part is driving me nuts. Can someone point me in the right direction with this? I've tried various combinations of transform.Rotate and transform.Translate but it never does what I want (or expect!).

Edit: nevermind, I finally figured it out.

@Dashbloom: It looks like you are trying to import the 3ds max files for the mario characters. Those files are intended for developers that have 3ds max installed. You will want to use the 3d Mario Clone Project Files from here, they have the exported fbx file type.

[Nomad72]

OK, here is my Lab1 : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52090401/Lab...yer/index.html

It's not as fancy as some I've seen in this thread, but I think I met all the requirements. I'm completely open to constructive criticism

[jonlemosz]

@Nomad72: I used the following line based on the equations of circular movement:

transform.Translate(radius * Mathf.Cos(Time.time * Mathf.PI), radius * Mathf.Sin(Time.time * Mathf.PI), 0);

What did you use?

By the way, nice game!

[Nomad72]

@jonlemosz, I don't have a clue what your code means, lol. I'm going to have to brush up on my mathematics a good deal. My code was completely different...

[SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas]transform.Rotate(0, 0, 0.5f, Space.Self);[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Consolas][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas] transform.Translate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime*2, Space.Self);[/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]

The only issue I had with this is that I pretty much had to "spawn" new spheres in the same spot to prevent the orbit taking the sphere outside of the gameview. Also, I had to reset the rotation of the sphere when "spawning" it.

ProfCWalker, just to verify: we still do need to email our Lab links to both of you, despite the other post you made saying you were not going to be providing feedback on Labs?

[profcwalker]

@Nomad72: Great question. Initially the lab projects had passwords so that individuals were required to complete each step in order. With all the videos open, the only thing we require is a link to your website containing all five labs. Email us only when you have all five labs complete and ready to present.
Remember, this applies only to those that want the WBS Certificate. Thanks.

[Nomad72]

I know it doesn't apply to me just yet, but I'm very glad to see the Mario 3D clone videos are up - and that all the videos are now available for download. Thank you for all the effort you and your brother have put in!
