Summary

Understanding variable & function scope and accessibility.

Start MonoBehaviour Methods

A primer on Vector maths - as well as information on the Dot and Cross products.

How to enable and disable components via script during runtime.

Detecting Mouse Clicks

How to detect mouse clicks on a Collider or GUI element.

Using OnMouseDown

Using input to manually raycast

Using the UGUI event system

How to use the GetComponent function to address properties of other scripts or components.

Time

What is Delta Time and how can it be used in your games to smooth and interpret values?

Change over time

Delta Time

Time Scale

Scaled time vs unscaled time

Time Scale Example

Enumerations allow you to create a collection of related constants. In this video you will learn how to declare and use enumerations in your code.

Switch statements act like streamline conditionals. They are useful for when you want to compare a single variable against a series of constants. In this video you will learn how to write and use switch statements.

Next: This is the final tutorial in the project.
