So, you’re all good on the code front and making your game is starting to look like a realistic prospect, but you’re still absolutely useless at art? No worries. In no time you can get really good at it.
I could never do art, nor did I particularly care for it. But there’s a program that is incredible for mathematically minded people, and in a few weeks it produces results like this:
So, you love the idea of making games but you have no knowledge of some or all of the skills necessary to do so?
Fear not! I was in the same position a year ago, but all you need to break is the psychological barrier that you’re missing years of experience necessary to do anything.
The only prerequisite is the ability to think logically.
Problem 1: I don’t know how to code!
Unity's new particle system, Shuriken is a pretty versatile tool, and it's really useful for making animations look slick.
It does have its flaws, though, as I discovered whilst attempting to make a particle tornado. Its main downfall is that it lacks a polar coordinate system and, much as polar coordinates are the bane of my student life, I have to admit they're pretty damned useful when you're trying to make a tornado.
I looked around the interwebs and couldn't find any solutions to my problem that didn't involve paying for content, so I put on my maths hat and started deriving.
