Unity Game Tutorial: Monopoly 3D - Board Game

Define the Monopoly node as an empty game object, reset its transform, attach a cube frame, apply a frame border texture via a material, and duplicate, rename as property node.

Create and finalize the property node by adding a world space canvas and UI elements (color field, name, price, image), adjust pivots and borders, and build a reusable prefab.

Create and customize the remaining non-purchasable nodes in a Unity monopoly 3D board, including community chest, chance, go, jail, free parking, and go to jail, using prefabs and text elements.

Create and wire monopoly node and monopoly board scripts. Build a serialized route of monopoly nodes from board children using OnValidate, and visualize connections with gizmos.

In Unity, create and apply the monopoly atlas texture using sprite mode multiple and the sprite editor to auto slice, then assign white sprites to each node.

Define monopoly nodes with a node type enum and assign types like property, utility, railroad, and jail; auto-fill names via serialized fields and tmp pro text fields, updated on validate.

Implement mortgage functionality for monopoly properties by toggling mortgage and property images, computing mortgage value as half the price, and updating owner visuals for properties, utilities, and railroads.

Create a serializable player class for Monopoly 3D, modeling human and AI players, and track name, money, current node, jail status, and token movement. Define player types and prepare initialization.

Finalize the Monopoly 3D player info panel in Unity by adding name and cash text fields, and implement a Player Info script with setters, layout and content size filter usage.

Create and initialize the player with a public init function, setting the starting monopoly node, starting money, and linking the player info block to update name and cash.

Manage Monopoly game board flow with a Unity game manager, tracking current and next players, dice, doubles, jail, rent, and player initialization via UI.

Create and configure Unity player tokens by importing 3D models, making a token prefab, and using the game manager to instantiate and assign colored tokens for Monopoly movement.

Learn to implement dice rolling in a Unity Monopoly game: roll two dice, detect doubles, manage jail rules, and move players with a coroutine and UI feedback.

Implement player movement in a Monopoly 3D board game by updating the current node, triggering move steps via a coroutine, and handling AI and human turns with dice rolls.

Create a public get go money function in the game manager returning the go money. Add a collect money method on the player to add cash and update the user interface.

Switch on the monopoly node type to handle property, utility, railroad, tax, go to jail. Differentiate artificial intelligence and human inputs for chance and community chess within the board script.

Explore differentiating AI and human players on Monopoly property nodes, calculate rent, handle ownership and mortgaged status, and reveal buy interfaces with messaging.

Calculate property rent in Monopoly 3D by switching on number of houses to compute base rent or rent with houses, and double rent for a full set.

Organize monopoly board properties into serialized node sets and define a serializable node set class to hold multiple nodes; link color fields to update node colors across the board.

Fix null reference errors in monopoly 3D board game by adding null checks for owner and owner name on monopoly nodes, enabling correct property purchase and debug logging.

Implement pay rent in the Monopoly 3D game by transferring rent from the current player to the property owner, with UI updates and AI fund checks.

Implement Monopoly utility nodes by forming a set, calculating rent from the last rolled dice (when both utilities are owned), and enabling purchase by players.

Update utility and railroad price tags by moving the price text into the price field, set utility to 150 and railroads to 200, and enable auto save.

Implement railroad rent logic in a Monopoly game: calculate railroad rent based on owned railroads (50 base, 100, 200, 400), update current rent, and validate with tests.

implement the go to jail mechanism by repositioning the player to the jail node, updating the in jail status, and compare teleporting versus moving backward along the board.

Test movement and jail logic by debugging the game manager and double roll handling to ensure correct turn switching. Validate doubles reset and out of jail behavior.

Implement and track turns in jail in the Unity Monopoly 3D game by adding increment and reset logic, integrating with roll dice, and enforcing max turns to exit jail.

Update the jail logic by integrating reset turns into the set out of jail flow, removing redundant calls, and ensuring turns reset automatically when a player goes out of jail.
