Project Description
Practice your Unity skills by recreating a simple classic game such as Pong, Flappy Bird, Tetris, Mario Bros, Frogger, Asteroids, etc. This can really hone your Unity skills because you don’t need to focus on creating game rules, graphics, animations or anything too complicated. You just need to focus on making simple things happen in Unity. Try not to follow a tutorial on how to make the game itself (which there will be plenty of). Rather, use tutorials that focus on individual skills, like how to make a character fall under gravity or how shoot a bullet. Build your game piece by piece
Steps for Recreating a Game
After choosing a game to recreate, break the game down into the basics and recreate it step by step. You can follow these steps to create your game.
- Make a game object move and interact with the human playing the game.
- Make the player-controlled object interact with other objects in the game.
- Create an extra level or wave to increase the difficulty of the game.
- Create a simple user interface for score, health, etc.
- Spawn in other game objects and delete them when not needed.
- Create simple animations and/or sound effects
- Create multiple levels, waves, and increasing difficulty.
- Create a Game Over scene and/or respawn the player when dead.
