Prototype

 Starting The Game

This week I started the prototype for my racing game in Unity. So far I was finding it a bit difficult to code it how I wanted to, but because I am basing it on a racing game I was able to use the Unity tutorials that we have been doing every week as a base. So far I was able to get the car and camera to move forward on input and turn left and right. I don't want to use the rotation script for the car turning as I just want the car to almost jump from lane to lane at the press of a button, however, I am finding that very hard. All of the inputs I have been using so far have been based on holding the input button down, but I want the inputs to be controlled by a single button press, for example, I want the car to move forward indefinitely with the press of a single button. But I can't seem to find a solution online for this.

I spent a couple hours setting up the Unity prototype and the coding, but after that I wanted it to start looking how I wanted and learned how to import assets that I found online, I found a low polygon retro sports car and a low polygon police car to use. And I also made the road into a dual-carriageway and added a slight purple tint to the game. I did base it off the week 1 sample scene from Unity because I knew that had a road that I could use too. 

So far it's going okay, I think it'll be simple enough once I get the car movement where I want to be. I also plan to have the police car follow the player but I need to write a new script similar to the camera script for following the player but I need to have it just behind the player.
