Creating a patrolling movement in a Game object can be hard but by creating waypoints that specify the path to be followed by your object it can be an easier task. https://cocalp.wixsite.com/unity101

User interface design and software verification and validation User interface design  is the  design  of  user interfaces  for machines and software with the focus on maximizing usability and the  user  experience.  focuses on anticipating what users might need to do and ensuring that the interface has elements that are easy to access, understand, and use to facilitate those actions. UI brings together concepts from  interaction design ,  visual design , and  information architecture . They are 19 principles of  User Interface Design: Clarity is job  Interfaces exist to enable interaction Conserve attention at all costs Keep users in control Direct manipulation is best One primary action per screen Keep secondary actions secondary Provide a natural next step Appearance follows behavior Consistency matters Strong visual hierarchies work best Smart organization reduces cognitive load Highlight, don't...

TC1019 Review Decidi hacer este post en español para explayarme más y dar a entender mejor mi punto de vista sobre el curso de  Fundamentals of Software Engineering que tome con el profesor Ken Bauer . Temas : En el curso en total son 20 temas que vimos a lo largo del semestre, mas o menos por que también nos dejaba leer algunos artículos que tenían mucha información muy interesante y sentías como si fuera otro  mastery topic . Los temas son muy variados, lo cual es muy importante por que si te enfado uno o no te intereso tanto ese tema puedes investigar otro tema de los  mastery's , ya que no tienen un orden particular. En lo personal los temas con los que más di click o me interesaron bastante fueron open source software, XP,  software design y  software architecture; creo que se nota por que fueron los blogs más enfocados en mi punto de vista y no tanto investigación que encontré. Abolish Grading: Este...

Software implementation and  Software maintenance Software implementation can represent a very complex task for big companies. The incorporation of a new tool may take several phases; companies need to consider the costs in money and time for the change to represent gains on their finance. The changes are so complex that some companies operate over legacy software that was released decades ago and offer no support. "Implementation is the carrying out, execution, or practice of a plan, a method, or any design, idea, model, specification, standard or policy for doing something. It's the action that must follow any preliminary thinking in order for something to actually happen "(Rouse, 2014). Software implementation surrounds all the post-sale processes involved in something operating properly in its environment. It includes analyzing requirements, installation, configuration, customization, running, testing, systems integrations, user training, delivery and...

The waterfall method Waterfall  is a linear approach to software development, t his means that as each of the eight stages (conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, implementation, and maintenance) are completed, the developers move on to the next step (Base 36, 2016). Waterfall vs Agile: Benefits of the waterfall method: Once a step has been completed, developers can’t go back to a previous stage and make changes and get things done a lot faster. It relies heavily on initial requirements. However, if these requirements are faulty in any manner, the project is doomed. If a requirement error is found, or a change needs to be made, the project has to start from the beginning with all new code. The whole product is only tested at the end. If bugs are written early, but discovered late, their existence may have affected how other code was written. Additionally, the temptation to delay thorough testing is often very high, as these delays a...

API 101 A pplication  p rogram  i nterface  ( API ) is a set of  routines ,  protocols , and tools for building  software applications . An API specifies how software components should interact and APIs are used when programming graphical user interface ( GUI ) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a  program  by providing all the building blocks. A  programmer  then puts the blocks together" (webopedia, 2016). Application Programming Interfaces   allows applications to talk to other applications. For example:  M obile devices all use APIs to connect our mobile app to Facebook. YouTube users  consume  videos using the universal embeddable video player (like Vimeo) allowing Youtube videos to be embedded on any website around the web, all driven by APIs.
