Master Unity By Building 6 Fully Featured Games From Scratch

Variables are a way of saving data in computer programming. We are going to take a look at the most common variables used in Unity game development and we will get to know those variables in depth.

If we have a choice in our game, for example do we want to go this way or take the other way, we use conditional statements to program that behaviour, so conditional statements enable us to create a state, and if that state is true then we will execute one piece of code otherwise we will execute other piece of code. Comparison operators are used to compare variables to each other and in this lectures we will see how that goes. And lastly loops, and loops are used if we want to repeat a single operation multiple times, which we will also see how can we do
that in this lecture.

Arrays are used for storing data of the same type. For example, when we want to keep track which player is locked and which player is unlocked we will store that in a boolean array.

Finally in this lecture we will begin with our game, firs we will import and organize our assets. Remember, organization is essential!!

In this lecture we will learn how can we slice our sprites to separate them from each other in order to use them in our game as individual sprites.

We will learn how to make animations using Unity's animation system. We will see how can we use the animation panel to create animations and how can we use animator panel to control these animations.

In order to reuse our game objects, we need to create prefabs out of them, and we will see how can we do that in this lecture. Colliders are used for collision detection and rigid bodies are used to apply physics on a game object.

In this lecture we will see how can we create our balls and bricks, and what are tags, layers and sorting layers.

Because our sprite arrow is very short, we need to create multiple copies of our arrow and connect them with each other to create our arrow, and we will do the same with our background bricks.

In this lecture we will take a deeper look into rigid bodies and colliders, and finally we will get into scripting.

We will utilize the rigid body of our balls to make them bounce, and we will see how that goes.

In this lecture we will program the movement of our arrows.

Now we will add that arrow to the player and shoot it when we click a mouse button.

Now that we can shoot the arrow from our player, we will continue to program our ball script.

We need to strict the player so that he can only shoot once or twice, and for that we are going to use a bool variable.

Since we have strict the player to shooting maximum twice, now we need to program our arrow script to inform the player when he can shoot again.

Broken bricks needs to break when the arrow hits it, for that we need a script, oh and we also need to position our bricks on the screen which our script will help us to do.

Before we begin to create menus, we will take a look at new unity's UI.

We will start with our main menu and design it from ground up, just to get a little comfortable with designing menus.

Here we will design the rest of our menus - shop menu, player menu and level menu.

I am a big fan of creating one game controller that will store all game relevant data, and we make that game controller a singleton so that we can have it in each scene and that way carry our data with us.

The Second part of our game controller.

The same way our game controller controls our game data, main menu controller will control the main menu and all of the buttons and actions that happen in the main menu.

Music controller is responsible for playing music in our game, and for playing click sounds when we touch a button.

Player menu controller will control the selection of our players and some other things.

The second part of our player menu controller.

Shop menu controller is going to control our shopping - when we buy arrows, coins, even when we want to share on facebook or watch a video to earn extra coins.

Level controller will controller which level we want to play, and our loading screen will play a nice transition when we go in our game play.

In this lecture we will create our gameplay UI - our joystick, shoot button, level timer, live timer, score and other stuff.

Game play controller will control the workflow of our game, he will restart the level when the player dies, he will keep track if the level time has reached zero, he will even prompt us to watch a video and earn extra lives if our player has no more lives left to continue the game.

Third part of our game play controller.

The previous movement that we programmed for our player was for keyboards, now we will program the movement for mobile devices.

Finally we are ready to test our game on a real device, and we are going to do so using unity remote.

Continuing the script of our player script.

Adding new stuff to our ball script.

In this lecture we will take a look at what approach can we take to design our levels.

Before we integrate in app purchase, facebook and google play game services, we need to download 3rd party plugins which enable us to implement those features in our game.

Now we will import and configure our third party plugins in our project.

The First thing that we need to do when creating in app purchase with soomla, is that we need to prepare purchase items or items that we want to sell to our user.

Social media controller will control our facebook logging and sharing, and it will also control our in app purchase.

Second part of our social media controller.

Testing facebook connection and in app purchase on a real device.

Sharing on facebook and giving our user his reward for doing that.

Leaderboards controller will control our achievements and score and post it on google play.

Ads controller will control our video and interstitial ads and display them to our user.

Final test of our game to see that all of what we implemented actually works.

Tips about what you need to do when you want to publish our game on google play.

Tips about ads when you want to publish your game.

Some performance tips that can speed up our game, and also some physics tips if our physics system behaves strangely.

Some tips about how can we support multiple screen resolutions and sizes.
