Chapter 6. Continuing the 2D Adventure

In the previous chapter, we started work on a 2D adventure game. On reaching this point, we've now created a controllable character that can navigate a level using physics and collision detection as well as gravity. This chapter completes the 2D game project by adding the remaining features. Specifically, this chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Moving obstacles and features such as an elevator platform

  • Gun turrets to attack the player

  • An NPC with a quest system

    Note

    The starting project and assets can be found in the book companion files in the Chapter06/Start folder. You can start here and follow along with this chapter if you don't have your own project already.
