The goal of this live session is to set up the basic gameplay for our prototype. We will start by creating a new project and importing the starter files. Next we will choose a beautiful background and a character for the player to control, and allow that character to jump with a tap of the spacebar. We will also choose an obstacle for the player, and create a spawn manager that throws them in the player’s path at timed intervals. 

Week 4: Sound & Effects | Apr 13 - Apr 17

This is the same content covered in Lesson 3.1 in the independent Create with Code Course. 

The character, background, and obstacle of your choice will be set up. The player will be able to press spacebar and make the character jump, as obstacles spawn at the edge of the screen and block the player’s path.  

Use GetComponent to manipulate the components of GameObjects

Influence physics of game objects with ForceMode.Impulse

Tweak the gravity of your project with Physics.gravity

Utilize new operators and variables like && 

Use Bool variables to control the number of times something can be done

Constrain the RigidBody component to halt movement on certain axes
