Park It! - Car Parking Game in Unity

Import car visual assets from the Unity asset store, installing a low-poly two-car package. Organize assets under plugins and configure materials and shaders for a ready-to-use parking game car.

Create a new Unity scene in a game folder, set up a floor, insert a hatchback car from the ton vehicle prefab, align the camera, and organize the car hierarchy.

Attach a rigid body to the car and add a box collider to define its physical space in Unity, set mass to 800, and enable gravity with discrete collision detection.

Add wheel collider components to each wheel under colliders to separate physics from visuals, move the center 15 units up, and set the radius to 30 by 37 in Unity.

Set up a modular arcade car by creating scripts, folders, and serializable wheel data, then assemble front and rear wheels with view and collider components in Unity.

Read the input (W/up and down) and translate it into throttle torque for the arcade car’s front wheels using wheel colliders; apply motor torque in fixed update with delta time.

Read the horizontal input to compute the steering angle and apply it to the front wheels, then update wheel visuals with wheel pose data to match the collider.

Lower the car's center of mass in Unity by setting the rigidbody's center of mass with a Vector3 in Awake, preventing flipping during acceleration and steering.

Learn to implement braking in Unity by reading the space key, toggling brake torque on the wheel collider, and balancing braking with acceleration logic.

Import the parking lot asset into a models folder, convert pieces into prefabs, and build a tiled scene with a mesh collider. Set the environment color and test in play.

Create sidewalk edges by duplicating and rotating edge pieces with a prefab and Ctrl snapping, then apply a mesh collider in the prefab so all pieces collide with the car.

Learn to organize a Unity scene by grouping tiles under an environment parent, turning a tile into a prefab, and duplicating and rotating tiles to assemble a parking layout.

Add the mesh collider to the corner tile and rename it tile_003 in the prefabs folder. Fill edges by duplicating tiles with Ctrl D, snapping rotation, and placing them precisely.

Develop the parking lot environment for a Unity car parking game by arranging and duplicating tiles, rotating them, and adding mesh colliders to enable collisions.

Arrange sidewalk tiles in Unity by duplicating and expanding the tile set, dragging into the prefab folder, and enabling meshes and colliders to test environment for car parking game.

Add and arrange cars in a Unity scene using prefabs, assign colors with materials, and ensure collisions with mesh colliders for a functional parking lot.

Create a Unity arcade car camera that follows the car from a top-down angle with an offset for a dynamic view, using fixed update and vector3 move towards.

Make small fixes to the parking scene by adjusting the camera position and distance, refining the asphalt color, and testing changes in play mode before proceeding to the parking spot.

Create a parking trigger area in Unity by configuring a 2D sprite with nine-slice, adding a trigger box collider, and validating entry via rigidbody velocity and angle checks.

Replace the parking trigger's rigidbody with the arcade car reference and add a reverse angle check, wheels inside area verification, and an observer-based parked status.

Learn how the observer pattern decouples game logic from triggers in Unity by broadcasting a car parked event that listeners respond to, optionally passing the parked car or an int.

Design and implement a Unity game controller that listens to multiple parking triggers, spawns and switches cars, and manages parking spots with serialized arrays and event subscriptions.

Fix the camera by changing the arcade car camera's target to the current car as the index advances, and call finish game when the last parking spot is reached.

Fix the list index to reveal the last parking spot, then add a top timer with TextMeshPro. The timer updates, formats minutes and seconds, and scales with the canvas.

Implement collision punishment by emitting on collision events from each car and advancing a shared timer by five seconds, coordinated by a game controller and timer script.

Learn to add a custom font to a Unity project by downloading a TTF from Google Fonts, generating a Text Mesh Pro atlas, and applying it to a text timer.

Learn to implement ten on-screen timers in a Unity car parking game using a times array, a set time method, and a game controller to update elapsed times.

Implement an end-of-game timer by summing all parking times from the game controller, then display the total minutes and seconds using a Text Mesh Pro label inside a canvas group.

Enhance the parking game by importing a free low-poly nature pack, placing ground, trees, bushes, grass, and rocks, and boosting performance by removing colliders and refining lighting and camera view.

Learn how to switch between real-time, baked, and mixed lighting in Unity, bake static geometry for realistic illumination, and implement adaptive probe volumes to optimize dynamic lighting.

apply post-processing in unity by enabling anti-aliasing and creating a global volume. tweak filters like vignette, depth of field, white balance, tone mapping, and color adjustments to improve image quality.

Learn how to build, configure the scene list, and share your Unity car parking game by creating a build, selecting platforms, and distributing an executable for Windows or Linux.
