Okay, so yesterday I started messing around with this “MagicBox” thing, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a rollercoaster. I wanted to build something, a little interactive… thingy. I’m not even sure what to call it. But anyway, I started with the basics.
Getting Started
First, I figured I needed a box, right? So, I grabbed some pre-made models from some websites, just to see how it works.
I pulled in a simple cube, and then I got to thinking, “What if this thing could change colors?”
Adding Some Color
So, here’s where things got a bit tricky. I had to get into the code, which, you know, isn’t always my strongest suit.
I spent a good hour just trying to figure out how to make the darn box change from red to blue. Lots of Googling, lots of trial and error, and a few curse words muttered under my breath.
But finally, I got it! A big, beautiful, color-changing box. Boom!
Making it Interactive
Now, a color-changing box is cool and all, but I wanted more. I wanted it to do something when you clicked on it.
- So, more digging, more code-wrangling.
- I tried adding a simple script that would make the box spin when I clicked it.
- This time it worked a bit easier, probably because of my experience with colors.
The Final Product (So Far…)
Alright, so it’s not exactly “magic,” but I’ve got a box that changes color and spins when you click it.
It’s simple, yeah, but it’s mine. And it works!
I’m thinking about adding some more features later on, like maybe making it play a sound or something. But for now, I’m pretty happy with my little color-changing, spinning box. It’s a start, anyway. And today, I build a new one, I want to create an interactive panel, so that I can control every parameter of the box, such as color, size, and even shining!
I try to find the panel example and copy it to my project. It looks pretty good!
Next step, connect the panel to my box!
