BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
- Import the project into your Unity Editor (2017.02.0f3 >)
- Open the project, then select
File > Build Settings - Ensure that the
MainSceneis added to the build steps by clickingAdd Open Scenes. - Select
PC, Mac, and Linux Standalone. - Press
Build and Run.
CONTROLS
- Movement controls are done using W-A-S-D configuration.
- Aiming can be done with either the mouse or arrow keys.
- Left click or spacebar will shoot Light from the gun.
- Change your Light by pressing the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 on the Number Row.
GAME MECHANICS The game will continually spawn LightTargets above the play area. Using your gun, shoot the targets with the corresponding colour in order to earn a point. There is no time limit or punishment for falling behind - use the game to increase coordination and spacial reasoning. The bullets can be hard to judge as they're invisible in the air without a reflective surface!
Long development time for me on this project while switching context from web-based development. Working in the Unity Editor had challenges that only reading, studying, and iterating could teach. I'm happy to say that I feel a lot more fluent than I did before with both the editor and C# as a whole - but the biggest gain was probably understanding much of what Unity's opinions are on optimal nesting and relationship between components (such as transforms for nesting, monobehaviours as coroutines, and more).
Testing was a bit of a fall-down here, as the monobehaviours polluted too much of my code and made testing hard. I wasn't sure how to fix this eloquently and made an attempt - this will be a big area for me to learn to improve in future work for desiging better OO code in Unity that plays well with its opinons.
