OK if you are like me then you have tried some tutorials and found some to be much better than others... I will make a list of those I've tried and rate them by how helpful they were to me. As a beginner, I really am not ready to get into coding. I'd like to use available assets to make my first game or program and after that add to my skills. How do you get to the point where you are skilled enough to make a game from scratch?
I want to be able to make a simple 3D game which has flowing camera and also moving background. Since I am a teacher I also want it to have some educational value. I am frustrated with the lack of new educational games for K-12.

Computer Viruus Makes USB Files Disappear

Thought I'd drop this in because this month have had a couple teachers at work "lose" the files on their USB. The USB looks blank but if you check the properties you will see that the USB still has data bu that the data is invisible. I have seen this called the "Shortcuts Virus". It changes the attributes of the files to make them invisible. The fix isn't too complicated.
1. Insert the USB and scan for viruses. I use the free version of AVAST.
2. Delete any viruses (clean if they are important files!
3. Start>run  push enter
4. type   cmd and press enter, this brings up the dos window
5. type this;

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*

The letter g should be replaced with the letter of you USB drive if it does notshow up as g in your computer
press enter
wait for it to complete, close the window
your files should now be accessible

Making a Sprite Sheet for 2D Games in Photoshop

Open Photoshop
File>New
Size 4096x4096 pixels (300 pixels/in)
Go to preferemces >Grid
Define grid as 512 and 2 subdivisions >ok
Go to view and select Show>check Grid
Save your file

This is made to contain a sprite in each square at 512x512 pixels.
Make sure when placing variations of a design in the same spot in each cell so the transition is smooth.
What next???
video from digital tutors
You can design your objects on this full size template and then reduce the size to 512x512 before dragging on to the sheet.

This blog is to help others with learning Unity. I know nothing so I hope I can help someone else make the journey to becoming literate enough to create your own games.
