Make a 2d Platformer in Unity 2020 using Design patterns

Explore preparing assets in Unity and building a tile palette. Learn to draw ground, set a background, and manage layering while configuring the camera for a future character controller.

Explore configuring 2d assets in Unity 2020 for a platformer, including sprite type, sprite mode, pixels per unit, filter, compression, and sprite editor slicing.

Create and shape the ground for your 2d platformer by painting tiles with the tile palette, brush, and flood fill, using flip, rotate, and eraser tools for precise layout.

Configure the main camera for a pixel-art 2d platformer with a fixed resolution and aspect ratio, using orthographic projection and a suitable size, and disable anti-aliasing and the skybox.

Add a ground collider using a 2D composite collider with a static rigidbody, then use layers to ensure ground collides only with the agent collider.

Master the player input script using multicast delegates and events for actions like attack. Define movement events with vector2 parameters and map keys for jump, attack, and menu in Unity.

Create a robust player input system in Unity by implementing get movement input, jump input, attack input, weapon swap, and menu input in the player input script, with null-conditional calls.

See how a high-level agent script bundled with low-level movement creates tangled jumping and climbing logic, highlighting the need for refactoring and a future state pattern.

Create a reusable state pattern in Unity by designing an abstract state class with enter and exit hooks, shared data, and overridable updates for a responsive 2d platformer.

Create a movement state in Unity for a 2D platformer, using a movement data object to share speed and velocity across states, implement acceleration, and plan transitions to idle.

Create and integrate jump and fall animations using sprite frames in Unity 2020, then connect them in the player animator and loop them while testing in the project.

Create a grounded detector in Unity using a box cast to detect ground contact and a custom collider at the feet, enabling jumping only when grounded.

Learn a state-driven movement system for a 2d platformer, implementing idle, move, jump, and fall states with grounded checks and default transitions.

Override the jump state to trigger the jump animation, access the agent and animation manager to play jump and fall, and set velocity with jump force to control height.

Implement a better jump by using jump pressed to control height, apply maximum initial force, add extra gravity when released, and transition to fall state when not grounded.

Finish fall state transitions in a 2d Unity platformer using design patterns. Move to the full state when not grounded and assign full state references across movement, idle, and jump.

Implement a 2d Cinemachine camera in Unity to follow the player avatar using a virtual camera, assign follow and look at targets, and adjust the orthographic size for optimal view.

Apply the platform effector to a composite collider to create one-way platforms and improve jumping, then adjust grounded checks and the surface arc to fix edge collisions.

Develop a climbing mechanic in a 2d platformer: build a climbing animation, detector near ladders, and a climbing state that ignores gravity while integrating with the state pattern for transitions.

Create a looping climbing animation from four ladder sprites, add it to the animator as 'climbing', connect it to the avatar’s animation script, and enable ladder detection to trigger climbing.

Implement the climbing state by suspending gravity, enabling controlled movement, transitioning to idle when climbing isn't possible, and using the animation manager to start and stop climbing.

Design a simple player UI in Unity with a main canvas, health and points UI, using TextMesh Pro, and implement UI logic via scripts and a master player UI class.

Learn to set up Text Mesh Pro in Unity, import the essentials, create a custom font atlas, and apply it to UI text as a replacement for legacy text.

Create a top-right points UI panel in Unity, with a bowl image and points text, placed side by side using a horizontal layout group, and fit to the panel.

Create a player UI script in Unity to manage health and points displays, initialize health, set health, and wire UI components via Awake for responsive gameplay.

Explore the idea behind a response point system in a Unity 2D platformer, respawning the player near failed obstacles, deducting a life, and resetting with full lives.

Create a respawn point manager in unity that gathers child respawn points, tracks the current point, and offers methods to update, trigger a respawn, and reset points for level restarts.

Learn to implement a respawn mechanism by wiring an agent died event to a response manager, using design patterns for loosely coupled code and spawn-point testing in Unity.
