This Week’s Intro
There are (3) activities to complete this week:
- Activity #1 – Moon Lander Part 1
- Activity #2 – Moon Lander Part 2
- Activity #3 – Goodreads Update
Our Goal this week is to create a level for a physics-based game while continuing our practice with Unity. Our game will be a 2D Moon Lander. Our game is inspired from an Atari game published in 1979 – Lunar Lander.
I have created a series of walk-through video lessons to assist you with your Moon Lander project and to get you more familiar with Unity.
My advice: Watch first – then do! Don’t watch and Do at the same time, you will just get confused. Just watch first, then do!
