Although we may not be able to ask it any direct questions, we’ll at least be able to observe it’s behavior when it’s subjected to certain physical forces. We take a different approach to the code development than than we did in the earlier videos - we use some existing code and modify it to explain how it works. Sorting Layers and Bird Under Cover In this lesson, we use Sorting Layers. We add more GameObjects for the Bird to fly in front of, or behind, and see how easy it is to control which GameObjects are in front of others. Then, we finish laying out our scene by adding the rest of the GameObjects we’ll be using in the game. Colliding with Obstacles preview Since our gameplay has obstacles on the way to the Worm and back, what happens when the Bird hits one of them? At the moment, nothing. None of the obstacle GameObjects has a collider component, so there’s no way to detect when a collision occurs. That’s pretty easy to fix however, and that’s what we do in this lesson. We start by reviewing the 4 types of colliders available in 2D, then we implement some of them, and write just a few lines of code to control how the Bird will respond. Particle Systems Create Sparks In this lesson, we take a quick look at one of the more popular effects used in games today that produces visual activity - the particle system. In our game, when the Bird collides with an obstacle, the Bird bounces slightly and then it usually continues on its path. Using the particle system, we make the obstacle give us a visual response when it’s hit to make things more interesting. Audio and Talking Obstacles Audio can be a key element of any game and the choices for sounds and background music are as abundant as the choices for graphics. In this lesson, we add some audio to our game by getting one of our game obstacles to trigger a sound effect when the Bird collides with it. Unity makes this easy to do by only requiring an audio file, an audio source, and an audio listener. Audio can be triggered automatically or with the use of a simple script. GUI and Keeping Score Part I In this lesson, we use the UI Toolset to display the score in the top center of the screen. The score will be incremented every time the Bird returns a worm to the launch tree. If the Bird collides with the Pitchfork, the score will decrement by 1, and when the score reaches 3, the game is over. GUI and Keeping Score Part 2 n the last video, we created a Score text element and a Restart button for the game using Unity’s UI Toolset. In this lesson we update and display the Score and use a GameManager script in that process. The GameManager script will have the public variables for the score, the Score text element, and the Restart button element, and we access them with just a few lines of code from the other scripts. Prefabs and the Asset Store Prefabs are GameObjects that you store in your project so that you can make multiple copies of them in your game. In this lesson we create and use a prefab to demonstrate their usefulness. Then, we introduce the Unity Asset store where you can download all kinds of items that can be imported and used in your game. These items come from both Unity and members of the Unity community like yourself.
