This quiz will assess the knowledge and skills you gained over the course of this Unit 2 on programming a basic game. ## Question 1 Which of the following statements is true about prefabs in Unity? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - Prefabs are Unity's way of creating custom scripts - Prefabs are only used for complex 3D models - Prefabs can only be used once in a scene - You can create a prefab by dragging a GameObject from the **Hierarchy** window into the **Project** window ## Question 2 Which of the following statements is true about the color palette in your game? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - The color palette in your game does not affect the mood of your game - A unifying color appears throughout the game and ties the game's visuals together - The color palette in your game is irrelevant to the game's art style - The choice of color palette should be random ## Question 3 What is the purpose of concept art for a game? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - Concept art serves to visualize and explore ideas before they are put into full production - Concept art is mainly for marketing purposes - Concept art has no real purpose in game development - Concept art is only necessary for 3D games ## Question 4 Which of the following statements are true about video game genres? Select all correct answers. _Select all correct answers_ - First-person shooter (FPS) games focus on puzzles and narrative - Casual games require a high level of skill and commitment and are often targeted at experienced gamers - In role-playing games (RPGs), players guide the behaviors of characters who are deeply integrated into a distinct universe, typically featuring character progression through the tracking of various stats - Real-time strategy (RTS) games involve strategic decision-making in real-time scenarios, often including resource management ## Question 5 Which of the following statements are true about game mechanics? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - Game mechanics are only about scoring systems and health points - Game mechanics refer to the systems and rules that guide the player's interactions in the game - Non-player characters (NPCs) are a type of game mechanic - Game mechanics are irrelevant to the gameplay experience ## Question 6 Which of the following statements are true about AI navigation in Unity? Select all correct answers. _Select all correct answers_ - AI navigation in Unity does not include any form of obstacle avoidance - If there is a moving object in your scene that you want your NavMesh agents to avoid, you should add a **NavMesh Obstacle** component to that moving object - NavMeshes are used to define the walkable areas for AI characters - Baking a NavMesh creates a map of the walkable areas in your scene ## Question 7 What is the purpose of the **Max Slope** property in the NavMesh settings? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - The **Max Slope** property specifies the maximum height that an AI can jump - The **Max Slope** property determines the maximum slope that the player can climb - The **Max Slope** property decides the maximum slope that can be used for texturing - The **Max Slope** property determines the maximum steepness that can be considered walkable in a NavMesh ## Question 8 The following code is in a **CameraController** script, which is on a camera GameObject that follows the player around. Given the comments and code in this script, what code would you use to fill in the blank below? ```csharp // store a public reference to the Player game object, so we can refer to its Transform public GameObject player; // Store a Vector3 offset from the player private Vector3 offset; // At the start of the game.. void Start () { // Create an offset by subtracting the player's position from the camera's position offset = transform.position - ______________; } ``` _Select only one_ - player.position - player - player.transform.position - transform ## Question 9 In which situation would you want to use the Awake method in a Unity project? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - To check for user input - To pause and resume game states - To repeat a certain action every frame in the game - To transfer data between GameObjects when a scene loads ## Question 10 Which of the following statements is true about methods in C#? Select all three correct answers. _Select all correct answers_ - Methods can be called by typing their name, followed by a pair of parentheses with any required parameters inside - Methods are reusable segments of code that perform a specific function in the program - The term 'void' before a method means that the method does not return any value - Curly brackets {} are used to define the start and end of a class, not a method ## Question 11 Which of the following variables are declared correctly? Select all correct answers. _Select all correct answers_ - Rigidbody rb = GetComponent\(); - Vector3 playerPosition = new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); - int playerScore = 0; - float distance = 3.5f; ## Question 12 In which one of the following situations would it make sense to use the FixedUpdate method? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - To launch a fireworks display every New Year's Eve in-game time - To update physics-related calculations in your game - To count the number of in-game days that have passed - To make a character blink every 10 minutes ## Question 13 What is the name of the script (class) below? Select one correct answer. ```csharp using UnityEngine; public class EnemyWaveHandler : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject enemyPrefab; void Start() { SpawnEnemyWave(); } void SpawnEnemyWave() { Instantiate(enemyPrefab); } } ``` _Select only one_ - MonoBehaviour - EnemyWaveHandler - SpawnEnemyWave - EnemyWave ## Question 14 Which of the following is an accurate definition of the Time.DeltaTime property? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - It represents the game's frame rate - It measures the total amount of time that has passed since the game started - It is the time in seconds it took to complete the last frame - It provides the time at the current frame ## Question 15 Which of the following variables will appear in the **Inspector** window? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - protected float playerSpeed; - public int enemyHealth; - Vector3 direction; - Rigidbody rb; ## Question 16 Which of the following are valid ways to create a new script in Unity? Select two correct answers. _Select all correct answers_ - Right-click in the **Project** window > **Create** > **C# Script** - From the main menu, **File** > **New** > **Script** - **Edit** > **Create** > **New C# Script** - **Add Component** button in the **Inspector** window > **New Script** ## Question 17 In which of the following situations would you want to use a Tag on a GameObject in Unity? Select one correct answer. _Select only one_ - To organize your **Project** window - To play a sound effect - To change the color of a GameObject - To easily find and access specific GameObjects in your scripts
