Installation of Unity 20198:30
Install Unity 2019 via Unity Hub, choose version 2019.1.11, add Visual Studio and Android Build Support, install Android SDK, then activate a personal license by creating a Unity ID.

CREATING THE BALL RUNNER GAME - UNITY BASICS I10:24
In this video we will create our first Unity Game and look at some of the basic tabs or panel in Unity. We will then add a Cube GameObject and change the Position, Rotation & Scale of that GameObject
UNITY BASICS II5:53
In this video we will add a sphere and add a Rigidbody component to it, so that our GameObjects can start moving
HOW TO SCALE GAMEOBJECTS IN UNITY5:08
We will now scale our Cube using the 3D Scale tool. The 3D Scale scales the Gameobject from center
HOW TO ADD COLORS TO 3D GAMEOBJECTS2:52
PREFABS IN UNITY10:55
PARENT AND CHILD GAMEOBJECTS5:29
Learn to organize a Unity scene by creating empty game objects and nesting cubes as children under a parent. Moving the parent moves all its children.
CREATE AND ATTACH SCRIPTS TO GAMEOBJECTS5:48
MOVE THE SPHERE WHITEBOARD ANIMATION LOGIC4:06
MOVE THE SPHERE, SCRIPTING PART9:25
HOW TO MAKE A GAMEOBJECT JUMP IN UNITY4:57
HOW TO MAKE A GAMEOBEJCT JUMP ONLY ONCE IN UNITY5:53
CAMERA FOLLOW SPHERE AS IT'S CHILD2:31
Attach the camera as a child of the sphere to make it follow the ball while avoiding rotation.
CAMERA FOLLOW SPHERE, WHITEBOARD ANIMATION LOGIC3:38
CAMERA FOLLOW SPHERE, SCRIPTING PART5:41
SET BACKGROUND TEXTURE2:00
RESTART THE MAINSCENE WHEN TRIGGERED8:29
Restart the main scene when the ball collides with a ground cube using a ground restart script that loads the scene via the scene manager.
CREATING COIN PREFABS9:13
ROTATING COINS5:15
MAKE THE COINS DISAPPEAR6:51
CANVAS AND UI TEXT3:51
INCREMENTING SCORE7:25
Learn to increment the score by collecting coins in a Unity 3D ball runner setup, updating a UI text with the coin count starting at zero.
MOVE TO NEXT LEVEL8:42
Implement a coin counter that starts at twelve, decreases as coins are collected, and transitions from the main scene to the end scene when the value reaches zero.
CUSTOMIZE END SCENE, ADD BACKGROUND IMAGE ON CANVAS9:01
CUSTOMIZE END SCENE - FONTS7:29
Learn to customize Unity user interface fonts by downloading 100 percent free fonts, importing them into assets/fonts, and applying size, color, and glow to the end scene.
CUSTOMIZE MENU SCENE9:50
BUTTON CLICK5:38
Learn to move from the menu scene to the main scene on a button click by using a Unity C# script with scene management to load the main scene.
PLAY AN AUDIO CLIP7:44
Import a free audio asset from the Unity Asset Store, attach an audio source, and play a one-shot audio clip when coins are collected.
EXIT THE GAME6:17
RESTART AND EXIT THE GAME9:08
Add restart and exit controls in Unity with a single script on a shared button. Restart switches from current scene to the main scene, while exit logs a debug message.
BUILD AND RUN THE GAME6:44
Learn to build and run a Unity game, configuring the player, icons, and resolution, selecting platform targets, and building a 3d ball runner game with C#.

Requirements

Basic understanding of C++ or C# programming will be useful but not necessary
Windows PC running on windows 10 or Mac system for developing the game

Description
