Expose public float size modifier, public string new name, and public boolean is rotated in a Unity C# script, by attaching it to a cube and editing in the editor.

Implement a jump in Unity by applying a Rigidbody force on space, tweakable with a public jumping value, and enforce floor-only jumps using collision detection and a canJump flag.

Learn to move a player in Unity using transform.position with forward vectors, rotate around the vertical axis, and control speed with delta time, while exploring camera switching for multiple viewpoints.

Cycle through multiple Unity cameras to follow and view the player, using a camera controller and focus logic to enable only one active camera.

Discover how to use prefabs in Unity to create reusable enemies and bullets, replicate them across scenes, and apply particle effects when bullets hit walls.

Learn to use prefabs in Unity by building a simple floor and wall, creating a bullet prefab, and implementing a player that shoots bullets on mouse click with a rigidbody.

Learn to add explosion effects in a unity 2d puzzle game by detecting bullet collisions with walls using colliders and tags, and instantiate explosion prefabs at impact points.

Learn to implement a Unity 2D slingshot mechanic by dragging the bird with gravity disabled, then launching on release using a custom Bird script, Rigidbody2D, and input detection.

Design a smug smiley enemy for a Unity 2D puzzle game by creating a circular face with eyes and mouth, adding shading and depth with mesh and live paint.

Create a 2d physics material asset for the bird's circle collider to control bounciness and friction, then apply a matching material to grass and adjust values to stop the bird.

Add versatile obstacles in a Unity 2D level by using crates with colliders and rigidbodies, and attach an obstacle script that uses collision strength and health to destroy objects.
