# Assignment 1.1: Practical Assignment - Source Codes (30%)
Fork the Unity project from this repository. The project comprises the assets and the base code required to get started with your assignment. This project consists of what you have done as class worksheets from Week 1 to Week 3. Open the project in Unity, click Play and see the behaviour. Get yourself familiarised with the project content.
*Your tasks for this assignment are as follows:
## Q1: Camera Repositioning due to Object(s) Within Line of Sight (10 marks)
This programming task will assess your general game programming skills. For this question, you will write codes to ensure that other objects within the scene that fall between the camera and the Player does not block the Third-Person camera.
You will implement your C# code in the function *RepositionCamera*. I have provided hints within the function as comments. The idea is to check every frame if there is any object between the camera and the Player. You can achieve this by doing an intersection/collision check between the ray that connects the camera position to the player position and the game objects in the scene, finding the intersection point and setting the camera’s position to that point (add a slight offset as well).
### References and hints on Implementation
The image below shows the behaviour of the camera without RepositionCamera due to objects within line of sight. The left side of the picture shows the Scene view, and the right side shows the Game view. You can see that the camera is behind the wall from the scene view in the picture below. Consequently, in the game view, the camera is getting blocked by the wall.
The figure below shows the behaviour with a correct RepositionCamera implementation. You can see that the camera is in front of the wall this time. The view from the camera does not get blocked by the wall.
You can also view the videos with RepositionCamera and without RepositionCamera implementations from the links below.

#### Do read about the following for your implementation:

>
> Physics.RayCast: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html
### Reflection on Learning Experience
Write a brief reflection on your learning experience on this topic (200 words) and take a video that shows working with one wall, multiple walls, narrow corridor, roof etc., just like I showed in the video.
## Q2: Configure a new Character for the Player (10 marks)
To answer this question, you will configure a new Player and replace it with the current SciFi Player in the given Unity project.
To configure your new Player, you will have to find a 3D character from Asset Store that comes with at least Idle, Walk (or/and Run), Attack and Reload (or recharge) animations.
There are several freely available characters from the Unity Asset Store.
It is not necessary to choose a character with a gun. You can download any character that has an attack animation, could be other forms of attacks like sword attack, kick fight etc.
Some notable ones are:
> https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy-monster-skeleton-35635
>
> https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/unity-chan-model-18705
>
Alternately, you can create a free account in Mixamo (https://www.mixamo.com/#/) and download a character and the necessary animations and import them in Unity.
Follow the tutorials from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxM6D6coDAU to learn how to import from Mixamo to Unity.
Once you have imported the character and the animations, you will need to create the animation controller in Unity’s Animator editor. You can follow the steps that you have done to make the SciFi player in your Week 2 worksheet. For smooth movement, you will need to have a Blend state. Again, you can follow the steps that we took to implement the SciFi player.
After that, you will need to replace the SciFi character with this new Player and integrate smoothly the
> Player movement,
>
> The Reload/Recharge, and
>
> Attack animations
>
Remember to attach the third-person camera to this new Player.
### Reflection on Learning Experience
Write a brief reflection on your learning experience on this topic (200 words). Take a video that shows the new Player walking, running, attacking, reloading/recharging and other animations. Provide clear instructions on how to run the application.
## Q3: Implement Steps Sound (10 marks)
In this assignment, you will program the walking and running sounds of a Player. In your Week 3 worksheet, you have learned how to add AudioSource and AudioClips to generate sounds in your game.
You will now use this learning experience to implement the Player’s step sounds. I have given a sample video here below that implements step sound.
There are many ways to implement walking and running sounds. One easy way to implement will be to play a looping sound whenever the Player is walking or running. However, implementing this way will only give you a passing grade. To score a good grade, you will have to implement better quality walking and running sounds.
I have provided sounds for walking on various types of ground. You will need to use a number of these sounds to have a better effect. You might also want to randomise a list of sounds with different volumes and pitch settings to give a more realistic sound effect.
I will leave it to your judgement and creativity.
Your submission should include the source codes, the technical writeup and a video demonstration of the sound effect by making the Player move around the scene. To record your video, you may use the new Player that you created for Question 2.
