By: Venita Pereira

Overview of this book

<p>If you are looking for a guide to create 2D games using Unity, look no further. With this book, you will learn all the essentials of 2D game development by creating five real-world games in a step-by-step manner throughout the course of this book.</p> <p>Starting with a blank scene, you will learn all about the new Unity 2D toolset, which will enable you to bring your scene to life. You will create characters, make them move, create some enemies, and then write code to destroy them. After figuring out all the necessities of creating a game, this book will then assist you in making several different games: games with collision, parallax scrolling, Box2D, and more.</p> <p>By the end of this book, you will not only have created several small games, but you will also have the opportunity to put all your new-found knowledge into creating and deploying a larger, full game.</p>

Summary


In this chapter, you learned about the basics of physics and how to use physics in our own game using Unity's new Physics 2D, including the Box2D physics with bodies to simulate the real world.

In the final chapter, you will learn about audio, feedback, and deploying our game. You will put everything you have learned throughout the book into practice to create a game similar to Doodle Jump.

You will then be guided on your onward journey in 2D game development with a selection of useful resources.
