I wanted to set up some menus for this game so I went and came across this youtube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc8ac_qUXQY

I’ve made a new scene and renamed my old scene to Menu and Game respectively

I’ve also downloaded a placeholder background image for our menu (our game theme is going to be cyberpunk)

I’ve made another placeholder play button using the colours of pink and cyan to fit with the current theme.

I was going to test the play button however I’ve received a compiler error so I googled a way to fix it and I was advised to delete the textmeshpro folder as it was already in unity. Now my play button becomes highlighted when pressed on my phone.

I’ve continued to follow the tutorial and now have a general main menu as well as an options menu

After following the video all the menu buttons work (the volume setting doesn’t do anything yet) and when you collide into a wall in the game it brings you back to the menu however. I wanted the game to restart on collision and I wanted a pause menu in-game so I followed a combination of these two tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjhH4M1B8HA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JivuXdrIHK0) with my current knowledge from this project and came up with this in the end.

I’ve built this app and downloaded it to my phone to see how it works just on the phone. It surprisingly runs a lot smoother however all the text has shrunk.

So I now wanted to set up a reset level on collision so I googled and came across this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bIdUzpQ928) and followed it step by step and successfully set up a reset on collision.

Now if I hit the ceiling or floor the game will to its original status. I also wanted to achieve touch controls too so I googled and came across this website which helped me https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37117160/how-to-convert-space-bar-key-event-in-unity-into-touch-event-in-android

All I had to change was RigidBody2D into RigidBody and now the cube goes up on touch.

However, after playing around I realised it only went up on initial touch and doesn’t continue going up on hold therefore, I decided to implement it into PlayerMovement and make my own code and I came up with this which worked!

Later on I’ll be changing the values to make the game more smoother as these values are just to make sure the game works.

I’m making a simple game with a friend who will do the modelling. We are going to make it so that you lose if you touch the edges or objects. The controls are going to be that if you hold onto the screen you float up else you’ll float down. Firstly I wanted to connect my phone to Unity so I followed this youtube tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcsUFGfdO_0

Now this is displayed on my phone

I’m now gonna set up the blocks in order to design my game. I followed this basic tutorial on youtube to get me started and understand Unity more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2d9Wc3Hhi0 and I ended up with this on my phone.

I wanted the player to be constantly moving to the right so I googled a way to do that and came across this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZEu_I-ido4

Since the next episode in the series was character movement I went and watched that in order to make it so that my character will move up when I left click. So far I have made my character move up when I press the “w” key and down if no key presses.

This is the final product for today.

I wanted to connect my phone to Visual Studio so that I can test apps on my phone. I looked up on a guide on how to do that and came across this useful website https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/set-up-device-for-development.

Mid way through the website, my andriod.bat would just close instantly so I had to find a solution. I came across this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMJ3WxZ9L5c and resorted to downloading Eclipse. I also couldn’t find the android SDK option so I followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47yY1uCTU0M

This took me awhile to download all these programs but in the end I got the app to run on my phone meaning I can continue running apps using my phone.
