Class Objects vs Struct Objects

Challenge: Constructors

The material expands on core Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) by introducing advanced concepts that strengthen both design and implementation skills. Topics include managing object lifecycles with destructors, refining class design through access modifiers, extending functionality using derived classes, and applying method overloading for greater flexibility. Together, these concepts provide the foundation for building robust, maintainable, and scalable object-oriented systems.

Game Improvement

Discover how to design interfaces and incorporate sounds into your games. Begin by mastering UI basics and creating elements. Explore specific UI designs like texts and buttons. Connect different game scenes and add a main menu to your game. Enhance gameplay with immersive sound effects, utilizing a dedicated sound manager for optimal control and organization.

Unity's UI System

Post Processing and URP

Finishing the Game

Building the Game

In this chapter, we will learn all about animations, how to synchronize animations with movement, and how to smoothly transition between animations.

Introduction To The Course

Animator and Animation

Animate Your Character

Animator Parameters

Controle Your Animation with Script

Finish Player Animation

We will create a full behavior for the player and animate it. The player will be able to move, jump, and attack using different techniques, such as the Rigidbody2D for movement and triggers for attacks and interactions.

Move Your Player

Player Animations

Player Attacks

Player Special Effects

Player Interaction With Objects

We will create the Boss AI and define its behavior based on the player's proximity. When the player is at a long distance, the Boss will either send a projectile or move toward the player. If the player is nearby, the Boss will attack with its weapon. Additionally, when the Boss's health drops below 40%, it will enter a rage state and unleash different, more aggressive attacks.

We will implement major improvements to the game, including adding particles and effects to enhance the overall feel. Additionally, we'll create UI elements such as the main menu and health bar, and ensure they are controllable. Finally, we'll export the game and test it.

Add Particles

Post Processing and URP

We will revisit the game we created in the previous Unity course (Flappy Bird) and enhance it. We'll add random generation, synchronize the background movement with the player, and dynamically move obstacles, creating an endless gameplay experience.
