Each team will have different work this morning based on your chosen competition:
Read your teams assignments carefully. A big part of the competition is being able to follow the guidelines that are written for each competition.

By Friday at lunch – create a folder with your two names on the Public inside of the weeks “skillsUSA” folder. The folder is found at Public/CAWD. For example if Mr. Cronin and Mr. Bohmann were working together the folder would be:

  • “croninBohmann”

Create your folder in the discipline you are working in. DO THIS FIRST

Alien Dance Party & Quiz 🙁

You have learned how to make sprites move, rotate and scale. You also know how to process simple keyboard input to make things happen in a game. In this activity, you are going to put those skills to work to create the “Alien Dance Party”.

To complete this activity, follow the steps listed below.

  1. Create a new Scene called “Alien Dance Party” in your 2D Game Programming Playground project
  2. Add the Alien Sprites to your scene
  3. Edit your project settings by viewing the Input Manager
    • Leave the “Horizontal” and “Vertical” default arrow key assignments
    • Click on the three dots in the upper right hand corner to Reset (clear work from yesterday)
    • The “Fire1” axis – this axis will control your rotation
    • Change the “Fire1” axis to use the “z” and “x” keys for the Negative and Positive buttons
    • The “Fire2” axis – this axis will control your scale
    • Change the “Fire2” axis to use the “c” and “v” keys for the Negative and Positive buttons
    • Change the “Fire2” axis Sensitivity to 1 or less.
      Why did we select the “z”, “x”, “c”, and “v” keys? They are all in a convenient line on the keyboard, can be easily reached with the same hand, and are not already assigned to one of the axes we want to use for this project.
  4. Create a new C# script called “DanceScript” in your “Assets/Scripts” folder
  5. Inside the Update() function, add lines of code that will perform the following tasks:
    • Translate() the sprite left, right, up, or down based on the “Horizontal” and “Vertical” input axes (Remember to multiply this value by Time.deltaTime and add a speed constant value, like 10.0f )
    • Rotate() the sprite (around the “Z” setting) based on the “Fire1” input axis, using Time.deltaTime and a speed constant value, like 60.0f.
    • Adjust the scale of the sprite, using the “Fire2” input axis to form both the x-change and y-change values in the new vector that is added to localScale. (Again, remember to use Time.deltaTime!)
  6. When you have completed your Update() logic, assign the “DanceScript” to all 4 alien sprites.
  7. Save
  8. Run and test your project
  9. Call me over if you are having problems. Reference your work from yesterday.
  10. Level up and add variables to improve your code!
