Unity 2D Master: Game Development with C# and Unity

Objectives

• Let's see what is Unity Hub and why to use it

Objectives

• We download and Install Unity Hub

Objectives

• We download Unity and Visual Studio

• We learn how to activate a free Unity account license

Objectives

• Let's create the first project from a 2D template

Through settings, we connect Unity and Visual Studio

Objectives

• create the first script

• learn how to avoid beginner mistakes like renaming scripts

Variables are containers/boxes for storing data values.

Objectives

• learn syntax and basic variable types

Function/method is a block of code that performs a specific task when called.

Objectives

• learn syntax

• create and call functions

• use parameters with functions

Try to create two functions (Addition and Product).

Review your solution of the Functions challenge.

Classes group code and merge it into a meaningful and functional whole.

Objectives

• learn syntax

• understand creating instances from a class

Access modifiers define the visibility of the variables and functions.

Objectives

• learn syntax

• understand differences between private and public access modifiers

In this video, we learn in which order default functions are called/executed.

In this video, we learn how to create a new scene and organize the workspace.

The condition is a logical expression that can result in true or false.

Objectives

• learn syntax

• understand examples

• solve mini challenge

Loops repeat a block of code. They save you time and make your code more practical and readable.

Objectives

• learn syntax

• practice with examples

Try to solve the Loops challenge and review your solution.

Arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable, instead of declaring separate variables for each value.

Objectives

• learn syntax

• practice with examples

In this video, we take a look at how to use Unity documentation. Unity has extensive resources and documentation, so it's important to know how to navigate and find the right information.

In this video, we create a new 2D project and see a more detailed explanation of the next lectures

Objectives

• learn how to create simple shapes (square, circle...) with a built-in Sprite Creator

In this video, we explore one of the most important components: Rigidbody

Objectives

• learn differences between dynamic, kinematic, and static Rigidbody

• explore some settings like gravity and understand X and Y coordinates in 2D space

In this video, we learn how objects collide

Objectives

• explore Collider2D components

• learn differences between colliders and triggers

Objectives

• learn how to create and add collision layers to objects

• manage collisions with Collision Matrix

Try to manage Collision Matrix to solve the challenge in which blue objects must collide just with blue objects, and red objects with red objects.

Review your solution for the Collision challenge.

In this video, we will explore Package Manager.

Objectives

• learn to import packages, in this case, Input System package that we will use for simple movement

Objectives

• learn how to use GetComponent functions

• make a simple movement system

Objectives

• learn how to manipulate with size, rotation, and position of objects in the scene

• create level boundaries with objects

Objectives

• learn about different types of "OnCollision" functions

• use OnCollisionEnter2D function to detect collision between red balls and the player

Prefabs are templates of game objects that store all information (including components). We use them to create copies of game objects at runtime and in multiple scenes/levels.

Objectives

• understand Prefab concept

• create prefabs

Objectives

• create a timer

• apply C# knowledge and use Arrays

• create Spawner function that will create objects (Prefabs) at runtime.

Objectives

• learn how to use Triggers and OnTrigger functions

• we learn how to destroy objects

Sorting Layers in combination with other components (Sprite Renderer, Tilemap Renderer...) determine how and in which order objects are displayed.

Objectives

• explore Sprite Renderer component

• learn to create and manage sorting layers

Objectives

• create a button to exit the game

Objectives

• learn how to quickly export the game and make an .exe file

In this video, we create a new 2D project and see how to download resources needed for this part of the course.

In this video, we learn multiple ways of importing assets (sprites) in the project.

Objectives

• we learn how to correctly change settings for pixel art sprites

Objectives

• learn to cut sprite sheets into smaller sprites using Sprite Editor

In this video, we import the Tilemap package.

Objectives

• create Tilemap

• create Tile Palette

• create Tile Assets

In this video, we learn how to place tiles and change layers.

Objectives

• create ground and background for the level

Objectives

• we learn how to easily add collision to the Tilemap

In this video, we create a Player object and add the necessary components (sprite, Rigidbody2D, colliders)

In this video, we learn how to set input keys/buttons with the new Input System.

Objectives

• import new Input System Package

• understand Action Maps, Actions and their Properties

Objectives

• use keys/buttons to move the player

• explore Action phases

• enable and disable controls, Action Maps, and Actions

Objectives

• flip the player left or right, depending on the movement

Objectives

• add Animator component and Animator Controller

• create Animation Clips and explore settings

Objectives

• understand the difference between animation clips and animation states

• explore animation parameters

• create transitions between animations

In this video, we add Jump ability to the player using the new Input System.

Objectives

• create and organize collision layers

• use Raycasting to detect ground

Try to create another detection ray for the ground and review your solution.

Objectives

• we use Blend Tree animation to merge three animations in one: jumping up, jump peak, and falling animation

In this video, we explore two ways of making double jump for the player.

Objectives

• create a double jump

• create any number of additional jumps

In this video, we create slippery Physics 2D material to prevent the player from sticking to objects (walls).

Objectives

• add controllers support for your game

• add Control Schemes and organize your inputs

Objectives

• explore more controller settings

• avoid hidden mistakes

In this video, we learn how to upgrade Unity Version to 2020.3 (LTS).
