Set up a simple Unity scene with a ground cube and a colored player. Add physics with a rigidbody and create a PlayerMovement script in scripts for movement.
Move a cube automatically forward in Unity using a rigidbody, fixed update, and add force with a public forward speed; constrain rotation and apply a slippery ground material.
Experience implementing side movement in Unity by using the input manager's horizontal axis (A/D or left/right), applying velocity change with rb, and tuning drag for snappier, smoother motion.
Learn to make the camera follow the player in Unity with a simple C# script using a public transform and offset, then attach it to the main camera.
learn how to clamp a player's x position between left and right limits in Unity, preventing sliding, and optionally implement game over or restart mechanics.
Create a time-based scoring system with a top middle score UI on a 1920 by 1080 canvas, using time.deltaTime and floor to int via a game manager.
Create a game over screen and restart mechanics in Unity by detecting collisions with a kill zone tag, displaying a game over panel, and offering restart and main menu options.
Implement game over mechanics by activating the game over screen on collision with the kill zone, pause time, and restart or return to main menu via scene manager.
Build a basic main menu with a cover photo, start and quit buttons, and a simple UI; set the canvas to 1920 by 1080 and attach the main menu script.
Create two public menu functions to start the game or quit, load level one with scene manager, and verify with a debug log; connect buttons and ensure scenes in build.
Implement a pause mechanic in Unity by creating a pause screen with resume and main menu buttons, toggling time scale with the escape key, and wiring scene transitions.
Swap the basic cube for a sci‑fi drone, create and apply materials from textures, and use free Unity Asset Store assets to enhance the environment and skybox.
Apply ground texture and tiling changes, enable emission, place point and spot lights, and apply a finish line texture to guide players through the level.
Create new levels in Unity by reusing prefabs, attach the finish line script to load the next level via scene management, and update build settings for level progression.
Create the winning scene in Unity as the final level, with a UI canvas, image, and congratulatory text, plus a menu button that loads the main menu via script.
Build and test your Unity game across scenes and devices, add background music with an audio manager, set up prefabs, and finalize with build settings and distribution steps.
