Based on what students have learned in UN501, they will dive deeper into Unity and C#. This course will teach students stronger conceptual programming ideas, more polished coding practices, and a better understanding of how to code effectively. Students will be introduced to 2D sprites, physics, animation, and tilemaps. They will finish with a 2D platformer!
Students will be using the Unity 2D Physics engine to create a platformer game with realistic physics, enemies, and collectibles.
Students will be able to adjust features, change their sprites and re-skin their game to make it uniquely their own. Students will be able to create a custom interface and controls for their game.
Prerequisites: UN501
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
● Students have an understanding of how physics are created in Unity and how it affects gameplay ● Students are able to manipulate forces, velocity, and other physics concepts to make their game functional ● Students have an understanding on the natural laws of physics through using these in their game
● Students are able to create large world and use 2D physics to manipulate objects in an interesting and challenging way for the player
● Students are familiar with reading error messages, and tracing where these error messages originate from ● Students are able to fix simple bugs, such as typing mistakes and minor errors
● Students are able to create custom User Interface systems for their game ● Students are able to create large worlds with various characters and challenges, using the Unity interface
● Students are able to demonstrate their work and describe their process ● Students are able to reflect on each other’s work, suggest ideas and how they might be implemented
