About

This project was a little flyer with gravity, player input, sfx, and moving obstacles. The thrust comes only from the bottom, so you need to rotate your ship and keep the nose up.

Time: about 8 hours

Course: GameDev.tv Unity Game Developer 3D on Udemy

Learnings

• Focused a lot on tidy code
• Learned more about sine waves and radians and how to apply them for oscillation
• Mathf.Approximately() is neat and better for comparing floats to zero
• Level design (level "moments")

Proud Of

I'm proud of the explosion details when the rocket crashes - in particular the flash of light.
