So I decided to play around in unity and repeat what we did in class on friday. I only repeated the sprite sheet exercise on Cuphead and the boy because these are the ways I want to create and import my characters into unity. I started off with cup head, I looked through the sprite sheets that we were given and cut them up (automatically through unity) and then when I was about to start re-naming them I realised that I had no idea what was what. I didn’t know the order in which the sprite went, which was the start point or finish so I decided to look at the different Cuphead sprites and see which one I could understand.I litrally looked through all of them (including the villains) and didnt understand any. I thought I knew the order of one of them, cut it out and created the animation and too my surprise, it looked like shit, It was so wrong.

So then I decided I’d create it using the little boy. I created my knew scene, added the boy in but forgot to split up the scenes so the kid was running, walking, jumping and dying, one after another. I deleted that and just imported the run cycle. I then added the Rigidbody 2D to give the kid earth qualities like gravity and a Capsule Collider so that the boy with interact with objects. I added a box in so that the boy wouldn’t fall for eternity and added a capsule collider to that as well but then it glitched out and I realised i needed to use a box collider.
Once that was all sorted and the boy was running on the spot and not falling i needed to create a skybox. Yoh, this was a little more complicated than I thought it would be, but once I did it I realised it was actually pretty simple. I downloaded the skybox off the asset store, played around to try get it to work but it wouldn’t. I even accidentally added the sky to my character as you can see in the photo below. Then it was only showing the coloured background and not the sky but I eventually changed it to skybox and then inserted the skybox component as well. It took some time but I eventually got there and i think I learnt a lot by just messing around and trying out things for myself instead of following step. by step like a sheep. But being a sheep is often needed when you have no idea what you’re doing.

I also took a screen recording of the entire process
