Getting to know the project, pre-requisites and what you'll learn!2:02
In this lecture, we'll go through the covered topics and a few stuff you should know in advance.

Importing the assets (attached as resource) and creating the prefabs12:18
In this lecture, we'll set up our project by creating some important prefabs and preparing our scene. The elements you'll use in the course are attached as a resource.
Moving the bush plant (our controllable character)17:44
In this lecture, we'll learn how to move an element using mouse input.
Moving the character using keyboard4:20
In this lecture, we'll learn how to move an element using keyboard input.
Coding the physical limits of our scenario16:30
In this lecture, we'll learn how to use the EdgeCollider to dynamically code the limits of our scenario, so the items won't go off-screen.
Adding the apple (our co-character)17:26
In this lecture, we'll go through coding the apple. Get ready for a bit of vector math.
Coding where the apple can't go10:24
In this lecture, we'll define where the apple can't go, which will cause a game over.
Destroying the planks we hit8:24
In this lecture, we'll keep on dealing with collision to destroy the wooden planks.
Creating groups of planks: The math behind it6:18
In this lecture, we'll be using math to solve an equation that will make the columns always fill the entire screen.
Creating groups of planks: Coding part 114:48
In this lecture, we'll be coding the group of blocks so they respond to the screen resolution. First part.
Creating groups of planks: Coding part 210:32
In this lecture, we'll be coding the groups of blocks so they respond to the screen resolution. Second part.
Defining the movement limits dynamically5:02
In this lecture, we'll make the platform limits respond to the screen resolution as well, so we can't go off-screen.
Creating our particles: The leaves12:55
In this lecture, we'll be creating the graphics for our particles. First part.
Creating our particles: The broken wood bits8:09
In this lecture, we'll be creating the graphics of our particles. Second part.
Adding the particles in real time14:03
In this lecture, we'll be putting the particles to appear in real-time appropriately.
Using Mecanim to animate the platform18:52
In this lecture, we'll be learning how to create animations directly inside Unity and also how to implement a Mecanim state machine to control them.
Understanding the Unity User Interface System8:14
In this lecture, we'll be playing around with the Unity's UI System just so we get used to how it works.
Creating the Game Over Menu: Part 119:03
From this lecture on, we'll be learning how to implement nice and dynamic UI elements in our game.
Creating the Game Over Menu: Part 28:42
In this lecture, we'll be codings the buttons of the game over screen.
Creating the Main Menu9:33
Keeping on with our UI lectures, we'll be implementing the main menu.
Adding sounds11:05
In this lecture, we'll learn how to implement sounds in our game.
Final Quiz!

Requirements

A basic knowledge of C#;
A basic knowledge of Unity3D;
A copy of Unity 5.x installed (don't worry, it's free!)

Description

In this course you'll think, understand and implement a complete working game on Unity3D. This course is designed for those who have at least a basic knowledge of C#, as we won't go through defining each feature of the language. Also, it would be good if you were comfortable with the Unity 5.x interface. If you're not familiar with these two items, you better off with my first course, which will teach you C# and Unity.

Everything that was used throughout the course (including scripts and the working project) is included as a resource on lecture #2, so I got you covered!

The course starts by giving an introduction of how the game works and what kinds of systems we'll have to implement to make it work flawlessly, which should take around 4 hours.

If you're tired of code-alongs with no explanation whatsoever, this is the course for you, as I actually teach and explain every single line I'm writing. I'll also explain all the decisions that were made to make the game work as it is, so you can be assured you'll have the best game development instructor you could ask for.

Who this course is for:

If you are familiar with C# and have at least a basic knowledge of how coding works, you're good!
If you don't know how to use Unity nor what a script is, you better start with my other course instead.
