Level

  1. There are 10 "Broken Scenes" in the "Broken Scenes" folder

    • Broken Scenes 1-8 have ONE thing wrong (although sometimes that one thing is wrong on multiple GameObjects, or a similar problem twice within a single script)
    • Broken Scenes 9-10 have TWO things wrong
    • The problems are CUMULATIVE, so whatever you fix in Broken Scene 1, you'll also have to fix again in Broken Scene 2 and so forth (the goal here is to teach you through repetition, which is super annoying we know...)
      • The only exception to this is Broken Scene 6, which doesn't have Broken Scene 5's problem because it would cause confusion

    • No Scripting Needed in 1-5!

      • Broken Scenes 1-5 do NOT have anything wrong with the SCRIPTS-- you should be able to fix them WITHOUT touching code

    • Scripting Needed in 6-10!

      • Broken Scenes 6-10 DO have broken SCRIPTS that you will have to fix (with Visual Studio's help)
      • Make sure you open the scripts used in that scene (e.g. MoveObject6.cs, with a "6" on the end, not MoveObject.cs, without it)
      • Every time you fix something in a script, write a comment explaining what you did and why you did it (e.g. // I changed the FIELD TYPE to GameObject because...)
      • Just because they are broken DOES NOT mean they will have errors... they may be SYNTACTICALLY correct, but still not functional the way we want them to function
      • For scripts that DO have SYNTAX errors, I've commented out the whole script. This is due to the fact that Unity won't run ANY scenes if a script is broken in the project.
        • You can uncomment multiple lines by clicking and dragging to select those lines, then going to Edit > Advanced > Uncomment Selection
        • There is also a shortcut button located here: image
      • It is NOT considered cheating to look at other, working scripts to see what is different, BUT it might be useful to try and puzzle it out for a while before comparing to other scripts

  2. Once you finish #1, add a third person perspective to the game

  3. Add a large object that is outside the Clipping Plane of the third person perspective

  4. Figure out a way so show the player that this object is large and far away (instead of small and close)

Bonus Challenge / Mini Boss Can you figure out how to make the other red cubes "Selectable" in the SampleScene?

Bosses

No bosses this week, start working on a concept for your "Escape Room" game.

OR, if you don't have a concept, start planning out what parts you'll need.

If you'd like, go ahead and start building it. Keep in mind what we've read and played thus far, and what a "literary" game might include.
