I tried making caustics in 3ds max, which is the reflection of light off of glass. Again, I tried, but did not succeed. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I followed everything in the tutorial. Maybe I am using an old tutorial and I need to find a newer one. It sort of worked when I did it last night with a sphere. Today I tried a new tutorial and I'm not sure if it is working or not.

Some main things I've learned are that it is never a good idea to start something new when you haven't fully finished something else. This is because then other errors could start to pop up randomly and you won't even know why. Also that making video games isn't as easy as it might seem. I never knew that making a game would take so much coding and effort. Making a game takes lots of different skills to complete. You need someone who is good at making models and someone who is good at coding. Making games takes a lot of different elements and can't be done in a short amount of time. Also it is hard to find tutorials that do exactly what you want. For example you might want a code that makes your player jump a certain distance when a certain thing touches you. The only way you can get a script for this, is to find a tutorial similar to this and work from that.
This week I worked on finishing up my score, which I did. So, whenever the player picks up a coin they get 100 points. I'm hoping to find something the player can buy with these points or adding a high score table, so people can compete. I also worked on making my players health decrease when the enemy touches them. I got this to work and when the player dies a UI pops up and say "You are dead" and also has a button that says restart if the player wants to try again. One issue I have right now is whenever the player collides with the enemy, the enemy starts floating into the sky. I have no idea why this is happening, so I'm trying to figure that out.
Agenda for next week
I've finally found a tutorial that I think will work for the score. The main issue I have is that most tutorials are blocked by dps. The tutorial I found looks pretty simple and so far it is working. I have coded my game, so when I pick up the golden coin, a sound plays. It took a while to find a cool sound, but I found one. I'm about half way through the tutorial, so I'll probably finish it on Monday. In the first picture, it shows the script for making the coin rotate and to set the value. Also I put the play sound action in this script. Then after that I just started making a new script for the Game Manager. This is so that when you pick up the coin it gives you a certain amount of points. I'm hoping to finish all of this by Monday. After this I want to add things that you can buy with these points.
