Tech Task: Fake Social Media Generator

-

Hello, Today I decided for this weeks tech tip id mess around with Simitator, its a website where you can build/make fake posts or comments from sites like Twitter or Facebook! Now normally this kind of stuff wouldn't interest me but lately, I have been looking for new ways to prank my friends so I figured id give it a shot. After loading the website up I began by picking a target, I went with Donald Trump as the man has said some questionable things on Twitter before so its more believable than what he would or wouldn't say online. I looked at him all his details to match them up with the fake tweet I was typing out.

Fake Twitter post

In the end, I was quite pleased with how it was present it looks pretty decent and if it wasn't for that I couldn't get the website to accept an image of Donald trumps face, I think it be perfect. All in all, it was a fun experience and maybe ill try pranking one of my mates with it who knows.

Hi, my name is Gavin Dwyer, I'm a wannabe film/music director who has a passion for photography and web development. I currently live in Co. Meath with my family as I attend college in TU Dublin Blanchardstown. My hobbies include Scouts, rugby, golf, and photography. In my spare time, I tend to find myself watching movies/tv-shows or playing video games. I'm excited to start my 2nd year of college especially with everything going on in the world over the summer like Covid-19 and wildfires it been stressful but now that college is back I can continue with my drive for media studies and college as a whole. Over the break, I've spent most of my time playing games such as Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Battlefront 2, Garry's Mod, and Among Us. TF2 and GMOD are by far my favourite games as I have over 5000+ hrs in both games. Both games released back in 2007 and still currently have over a few thousand active players. If I'm not playing a video game I most likely am watchin...

Challenge 2 - Play Fetch Lesson 2.4  In this weeks lesson, we focused mainly on implementing a way to collide game objects and also how to trigger events such a deleting an object once it collides. We worked on a new system to allow the animals to spawn on a timed interval to give more time for the player, and we also gave the player a new "Game Over" message whenever an animal get past them. Looking at the new C# skills I learn this week, I learned how to make custom methods and functions including how to use InvokeRepeating() to allow me to repeat code or loop it. Log debug was interesting to mess around with and I wonder what uses it could have in the future. Challenge 2 When it came to completing this weeks challenge project I only found difficultly near the end where we were told to do bonus objectives. Before doing the bonus objectives we needed to fix the location of the dog, the placement of balls and also the timing of balls/dogs being brought onto the screen. In the...

Unity Tutorial 04

In this week tutorial I got to mess around with animation and physics of the map, I had a lot of fun messing with the animator system on unity and trying new ways to make movement or interaction within my map. Making and editing a controller/blend tree was interesting was different from the normal coding side of game development which was nice. The goal for the first section was to add animation for the character so it no longer slides across the map. within the tutorial, I was given the needed images which make up the animation for a walking system to be generated. Now, this next section where I worked on creating the throwable projectile from Ruby was a little bit more tricky... I found myself looking up tutorials and looking at the script to find out/find a better understanding of what was happening here, I hate coding without knowing what does what or how something is working and affecting the other aspects of the game. I got around to making it work in the end but I once again thi...
