Frustration with the downloadable assets

Hi all,

I am really loving the course is the first thing that I have to say.
The format etc is every good and explanatory and has heaps of "Go work it out your self " parts which is great for the learning curve
One thing I know you said that we need to work out our selves id to import assets into a blank canvas then re export etc.
But you keep telling us at the beginning of exercises to grab that and import it. Having my student mind in place I do what i am told.
This means I break my Work at least three times a day.
For example today you told me to import the fixed Assets that Mikey “Phixed”. And you included all of the cscript with that package and the player and the enemies etc.
This broke my entire game again. And I had not made a backup since last lesson. And now yet again I will be waiting another day redoing everything I did this morning. ( which happened to be the whole showcase thing) and my wrist is so sore from doing that showcase that I give up .

So 10 out of ten for the course. 1 out of ten for continuously breaking my work when you tell me with my student brain on to do something that you know will 100% break everything I am doing.
I don’t disagree with the odd “gotya” to make sure people backup their work etc ( preferably early on ). But almost every lecture?. It is getting very annoying

HI All,

Additive to my own Comment.
I have now fixed 80% of the broken bits. And have calmed down after loosing my work yet again
I have taken a diligent approach and am using this to force myself to backup at the start mid point and end of every lecture. And when I do stuff outside of that. A good practice to get into

Keep up the great work By the way.

I am still finding the teaching methods brilliant By the Way

Same thing, I agree the course is great and it is a 10/10 for me.

But something like 3 hours ago, I have installed the new package from the episode 80 and lost almost everything. I spent a lot of time making sure that the movements look alright, and made many little modification.

Now they dont even walk or do anything :frowning:

HI Matey

Read my next post

Basically was a good lesson to GitKraken https://www.gitkraken.com/

And have a proper Code backup / repo etc

I have that all working and it has saved me soo many hours

And I now have it on My PC my Notebook and my Spare PC at work ( even thought I probs should not )

And I have session knowledge of what I did when etc

So this was a good lesson

Just one I did not want to take :blush:

This is a good lesson I agree but i’m a new programmer and never heard of GitKraken before today. I will have to do backup more often and wait the end of the course before I can personalyse my game.

GitKraken is free

And I use that And One Drive/Dropbox and I turn One Drive off when I start working

And leave GitKraken running

Then when I am happy it is all done and working I turn One Drive back on and go to bed

This is a good basic principle

More complex systems are available but have a play and work out what is good for you

:blush:
