Home and Credit Screens – CAWD Final Project

One of the requirements of your final game is UI for a Home Screen and a Credits Screen.

The easiest approach is to go back and look at what we did in class already and use the same approach for your game. My recommendation is that today, you pause production and development so you can create these required assets. Refer back to the work we did with BreakOut. We did this together. I have some notes below

Your Home Screen should be the first scene that starts when your game begins. It will include:

Title of your Game
Button to Play the game
Button to go to the Credits Scene

Your Credits Screen should include:

Title of your game
Game credits – hey! pat yourself on the back
Button to return to the home screen

Finish building out your UI screens. I’ll circle around and support. Done is better than perfect. You can make the UI’s nicer, fancier and more exciting – so just focus on functionality right now. Updating your UI is part of the development process. If you have your UI done – let me mark you off on the board!

A Refresher: We’ll need to create a SceneLoader Script because buttons are only useful if they perform some action when clicked by a player. We’ll attach this SceneLoader Script to an empty game object that we can call Button Controller.

When a button is clicked, Unity can call one or more functions in response. To link your script functions to a button, click on the Button object in the Hierarchy. You will see an “OnClick” section in the Inspector panel. Initially, the list is empty, so your button won’t do anything.

Remember that you can attach a script to any GameObject, so your script function that handles a button click could be attached to the Button object itself, any other sprite on the screen, an empty controller object(like we are doing), and so on.

Once you select a game object, the “Function” drop-down box will display a list of all the components on the object, including all scripts. In this example, we have attached a script called “SceneLoader” to the PlayButton object, and you can see that script in the list.
