10:05 Today’s Notes & Attendance

Today – you have English after lunch
Illuminated Rocky Path due Friday
Game Testing – shoot to accomplish by Friday – then you have next Monday for game polishing!

10:10 Space Sentry – GAWD2 Team Game Challenge Continued…

May I suggest a Scrum Meeting….

To be successful as a team, you need to know the deliverables:

One Game Design Document (Here is a template). It’s just a template – you can expand!
A playable game (prototype is fine) in Unity IDE or published to Unity Play
- Win Conditions
- Lose Conditions
- Restart
- Home Screen with Game Title
- Play Button that opens the game
- Credits Button that opens Credits Screen (credits list roles of all team members)
A short video trailer of game play to show off mechanics – Promo Reel
One round of game testing with GAWD 1 and/or staff members
- Testing Summarized in Google Doc with planned solutions (you don’t actually have to fix)
Project Due Date: Tuesday, May 19th – 11:30AM
- A representative will share the story of the team
  - Process
  - Successes
  - Challenges
  - Organizational Strategies
  - Game Overview
  - Sample Gameplay (in the form of a video Trailer)
  - and….. We will see and play your game – on one of your computers for from Unity Play!

Today’s Deliverable – Demonstrate the UI
Show the start screen => play screen => restart => back start screen
Also demonstrate the Credits button and screen

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)

11:00 2D Platformer – Jumping / Touching Layers

Yesterday we added two colliders to our platforms, discussed sorting layers and adding player movement and animations. Today:

Running animation => Idle animation
Fine tune jumping (gravity and jump speed)
Stop Jumping using layers (we’ll add a ground layer)
Prevent Wall Jump – (we’ll use two colliders! – capsule and box)
Add a 2D physics materials

Layers are useful if we have the same functionality across multiple GameObjects (like – ignored by camera, not clickable, collision check is what we’ll use)

To stop jumping anytime we can use: Collider2D.IsTouchingLayers()

We’ll need a reference to the BoxCollider2D, Initialize at start and add to OnJump method

private void OnJump(InputValue value)
{
    //“If myFeetCollider is not touching anything on the "Ground" layer, stop running this code.”
    if (!myFeetCollider.IsTouchingLayers(LayerMask.GetMask("Ground"))) { return; }
    if (value.isPressed)
    {
        myRigidBody.linearVelocity += new Vector2(0, jumpSpeed);
    }
}
