Introduction to Roll-a-Ball

to make a very simple but playable game to

use many of the basic concepts from the

beginner tutorial modules.

We will be making a roll-a-ball game where

we will collect special game objects.

We will see how to create new game objects,

add components to these game objects,

set the values on their properties and position

these game objects in the scene to create a game.

In our game the player will control a ball

rolling around the game board.

We will move the ball using physics and forces.

We will look at the input from the player

through the keyboard and we'll use those

inputs to apply forces to the ball, making it

move in our scene.

We will see how to detect contact between

the player's ball and the pick-up game objects,

and use these events to collect these

pick-up game objects.

When we are done we will have made a simple

roll-a-ball game where the player controls

the ball with the keyboard, picks up and

counts special collectable objects,

displays the current count and ends the game

when all of the game objects

have been picked up.

We won't need to import any assets for this project.

We won't be using models, textures,

sounds or animations for this assignment.

We will simply use the primitive shapes

like cubes, spheres and planes

provided by Unity.

To begin, start with assignment 1 where we
