Game Development with Unity 5

Learn to build your first game in Unity 5 by scripting with C-Sharp and crafting a functional, well-designed UI using the built-in UI system.

Create a struct to model quiz questions in Unity, including a question text field and related data. Learn how value types differ from references and manage instances in gameplay.

Finish the question struct by implementing a constructor, adding a question text field and an answers string array, and storing the correct answer for runtime testing in Unity.

Choose five trivia questions by initializing a question numbers chosen array, then loop to randomly select questions without duplicates using a helper to check and retry on duplicates.

Create a replay button in a Unity 5 trivia game to restart the current level from the final results panel, wiring a public restart level function to the UI button.

Learn to build and run a Unity trivia game by configuring build settings, adding scenes, adjusting resolution and aspect ratios, and fixing question initialization by resetting indices to -1.

Import images as sprites, then design the level by placing hazards and hearts as prefabs in a 2d project. Set the main camera to follow the player in play mode.

Set up the kill floor using the Kill Zone prefab, adjust its position, organize assets, and implement a trigger enter check that restarts the level when the player enters.

Build a health UI in Unity by creating a panel with a horizontal layout group to arrange heart icons, and connect a health manager script to toggle hearts during gameplay.

Designs the second level by adding a new character prefab, introducing moving buzz saws with side-to-side actions, and incrementally increasing difficulty through new mechanics, animations, and a kill zone.

Create a congratulatory end-of-level message with a two-second delay before transitioning to the next level, using a coroutine and endgame trigger to jump to the next level.

Streamline level creation in unity by auto-assigning player and animator references at level start, using object find by name or tag, and get component calls to remove manual inspector setup.

Add audio to your Unity game by creating an audio folder, dragging clips into the project, and assigning them to an audio source for music and hazard collision hit sounds.

Develop the horror fps enemy AI and player interaction mechanics in Unity. Learn to create visual effects with Unity's particle systems, manage assets and starter project folders for efficient setup.

Bake a nav mesh to guide AI movement, assign a NavMeshAgent, and script waypoints to set destinations while tweaking radius for accurate navigation.

Use ray casting to simulate an enemy's cone of vision, cast forward rays from a look-from position, draw debug lines, and trigger pursuit when a ray hits the player.

Create and attach an animator controller for the enemy, set a looping move forward animation, and adjust its speed using nav agent velocity magnitude in code.

Learn to build flame thrower effects in Unity using particle systems, importing standard assets, and configuring start lifetime, color, shape, and texture animation sheets.

Switch the flame thrower particle system to world space and adjust start speed, gravity, and emission so the flames move convincingly with the player.

Create a death screen in Unity by fading a UI panel to a death color with game over text, and manage health with a script that heals when not attacked.

Develop flame thrower behavior by testing distance to the player, ensuring the target is in front, and toggling the flame on or off with a flame light cue in Unity.

Add a capsule collider to the enemy, adjust radius and height to fit, and change particle collision layers so particles avoid the enemy while preserving player collisions.

Create a disable coroutine that halts the nab agent, sets speed to zero and flame off, waits for a second, then returns to patrol and restores health.

Handle stun gun input by checking the left mouse button and adjusting the stun particle system’s emission rate in the player health and attack script in Unity.

Lock and hide the cursor during gameplay and fix the player's healing by adding a cooldown before regeneration, integrating last-attack timing and healing logic in Unity.

Create an automatic door in Unity using a sphere collider trigger, reacting to player or enemy presence to open and close via an animator parameter.

Finish building the rest of the walls and hallways using virtex snapping to place pieces precisely, adjust scale for tight corners, and ensure clean alignment with lighting.

Implement an end game trigger at the level exit using a box collider set as a trigger, detect the player with OnTriggerEnter, freeze time, and activate the game screen panel.

Import and organize sound assets, create ambient 2D audio sources, and assign gunfire, door, enemy attack, and movement sounds. Adjust room acoustics and spatial blends for dynamic playback.

Implement stun gun firing sounds in Unity by adding an audio source to the player and playing the attack clip at five shots per second while depleting energy.

Learn to add audio sources to the stun gun and door switch, play and loop the recharge sound while energy is below full, and stop when full.

Learn to set up a reverb effect in Unity by routing all audio sources through a master audio mixer, then create big, medium, and small room snapshots to switch reverberation.

Create a Unity C# script to switch audio snapshots between small, medium, and large room settings when the player enters trigger zones, and attach it to trigger objects.

Learn to make head movement frame-rate independent with a speed variable and delta time, and finalize the build by adding escape quit flow and build settings.
