4.Week 7

Dear Diary,

Im sorry I seem to have neglected you. It has been 3 weeks ish since my last post. Progress so far..

All bugs have been fixed on the uploader for Flashpoint2, when ovewriting a video on upload it is no longer saved into the "Large Image" folder. I had a sudden brain wave a couple of days ago. My issue was when the php refered back to the flash to check if it was ok to overight the file. The extension wasnt sent back to the php so it through my verification off. To solve this issue i kept the extension in a session variable solving the issue and finally fixing a problem i have had for weeks. It just goes to show you if you have a problem which you cant solve at the moment, leave it and come back to it with a clear head.

The game i have been working on is nearing its climax, pretty much all the elements are in place. The maze is constructed, almost all the video elements work and the models look....well ok... good enough for a prototype. Take a look:

The only issue with the game i have at the moment is when you go to the scissors or saw in the game a video is supposed to come up and ask you why you need them.....the video comes up, but no sound is present. I have changed the volume, set to awake, asked it to loop to no avail. I like to think its unities problem.

My role in the companie diversified this week. With SkillsCymru coming up (from today through to Saturday) we were in need of some video questions about careers to add to our footage and enable students from further affar to ask questions which would then be answered by industry proffessionals. The clips chosen will become part of the final piece which will be present on the SkillsCymru website.

I was asked on Monday if i wanted to take up the challenge, so i set about researching different colleges in the north of wales, a few of which had not even started term. Long story cut short wit help of work experience attende Emma we managed to get 2 colleges to upload their footage to youtube and send us the links. I am awaiting the result from the team.....
