Journal Day 1: Today I used diagrams to make a rough version of the hull of the ship. The hull has low detail so I will add more details next class Day 2: Today I added more details to the hull such as curves as well as adding two masts and sails. I plan on adding more details on the deck next class. Day 3: Today I worked on making the deck flat as well as adding stairs. Day 4: Today I made cannons on the deck and added windows for cannons below the deck. I will work on adding more detail to the stern of the ship next class.

For my final project I would like to make a ship in blender and render different images. My goal is to include an ocean, background islands, sun, clouds and possibly other ships if I still have time left. In this project I will be learning how to make islands and the sky. I will also learn how to animate an ocean with waves. I will spend the five or six days making and texturing the ship. On days 7-9 I will be making and texturing the ocean and sky. One final 3 days I will attempt to make a small island as well as adding some final touches to the scene. Tutorials: Ocean Tutorial Pictures: Top Down View of Ship Right Side View of Ship

Asteroids Game Part-C One difficulty I had was making the animation for the invincible sprite. I solved this by deleting the sprite and starting from scratch.

Asteroid Part:B One difficulty that I had was typing the code for the asteroids to spawn in the room because the first attempts resulted in an empty room. I solved this by adding the spawner object into the room.

Asteroid Part:A A difficulty I had was  making the spaceship increase and decrease in speed depending on whether the "w" key was being pressed. I fixed this by re-watching parts of the tutorial and remaking the spaceship object.

MyFirstGame.exe One difficulty that I had was learning how to upload assets and where the editing tools were located. I overcame this buy taking time to learn what certain buttons meant by placing my cursor over them and reading the text that appeared.
