9:29am - I'm laying in bed and I'm really conflicted on what I want to do. I kind of want to work on my Starfinder campaign, but whenever I try to start I get anxious and sickened a bit. I also really want to get started on that Unity Navmesh Movement AI system. That one isn't giving me any anxiety or illness, so I'm inclined to do it. But at this rate, I won't have my campaign playable for a long time. I want to start it soon, which is probably where the anxiety is coming from.

I guess since I'm so excited for the AI thing that I'll start there, and try again with the Campaign later on.

11:10am - So, before I got started, Rob came in and needed me for a while, so I'm only just starting. And since it's later than I had thought, already, I'm going to get some breakfast.

11:32am - Now that I look at the book again (an online copy I found, since I left the actual book in the other room) I realize that the Unity NavMeshAgent already does a lot of things by itself. Seek is pretty easy with that one, you just set a destination and the NavMeshAgent goes there using dynamic movement of its own, or tries to get as close to that point as it can anyways.

So modeling the other behaviors may be 'interesting'. I remember having issues with it when I did something similar before...

12:17pm - I just read the scripting documentation for the NavMeshAgent, and I think that's the last thing I can do while still in bed. Heh. I've gotten used to doing everything here, it's cozy and warm in this cold winter. But I should really get up and work someplace else so I can use my mouse and everything. I'm not sure at this point if I'll stay home and use the couch or if I'll go to the McDonalds...

After checking the weather forecast I think I'm going to stay in. It's not so bad right now but it's scheduled to get cold as heck for the next few days. I don't have any plans until Friday so I should be good. Rob has to go out and work today I think, so I'll probably use the sofa.


1:28pm - So I'm on the sofa now and I did some research and it looks like the latest tutorials for NavMesh on the Unity site use some systems I can't find except in the example code by Brackeys, so I'm really not sure what's up with that. I'd do more investigations but I'm a little burned out after learning that, and my roomie finished the dishes and he's playing games now. I thought he'd be busy until he went to work but I can't work while he's playing. Alas.

So, I'm going to stop for now and pick up later perhaps, and spend some time gaming myself.
