Objective: Make the Triple Shot Powerup spawn at random times and random positions for the player to collect. When collected the player will have a certain amount of time to use the Triple Shot before going back to shooting regular lasers, and needing to collect another powerup. We want to…

Objective: Making the Triple Shot Powerup game object animate. Using the powerup sprite animation sheet in Unity’s Animation window to setup the Triple Shot Powerup’s animation in the game. With the Triple Shot Powerup we have a collection of sprites that can animate during gameplay. To use these sprites in…

Objective: Showing our progression from prototyping player and enemies movement, shooting lasers, player destroyed, colliding with enemies, enemies spawning to incorporating game assets that now make this feel like a real game. We started out with an idea to make a space shooter game. Not having assets to show the…

Objective: Quick description into why prototyping a game is very beneficial in game development. Prototyping allows us to add new game mechanics or features to our game quickly and easily. …

Objective: When the player collides with the Triple Shot Powerup, the player will be allowed to shoot Triple Shot lasers for 5 seconds using a coroutine. After 5 seconds, the player will go back to shooting single lasers until collecting another powerup. …

Objective: Using code to give the Triple Shot Powerup behavior moving downward and destroying it when moving offscreen. Also, demonstrating the differences between OnTriggerEnter2D and OnCollisionEnter2D when grabbing the Triple Shot Powerup and actual gameplay. In the PowerUps script inside the Update() function, we’re going to make the Triple Shot…

Objective: Give the Player a special shooting mechanism called a Triple Shot after they collect the Triple Shot Powerup. Also, give a simple explanation on using Unity’s Physics engine system to manipulate objects that have a Rigidbody component attached to them. We will begin with creating an Empty game object…

Objective: Explain why we need to be writing pseudo code by showing examples of where pseudo code can help us figure out the steps needed in an algorithm to solve a problem. Pseudocode uses informal language that helps programmers solve problems by developing algorithms. Pseudocode helps programmers “think out” the…

Objective: Add a background to the main game. Add a Player, Enemy, and Laser as 2D game objects replacing the 3D prototypes being used. Plus, change their components and script’s code from 3D to 2D in order for the game to work properly. Let’s add a background image to our…
