Completed a bunch of simple Unity3D demos

After about a week of unity I was able to make a few simple game demos. Check them out on the side bar.

I will probably make a couple more variations and continue learning more scripting. Goal is to eventually complete a small game. Then possibly iPhone. Might try learning C# to take advantage of using Visual Studio Express, instead of the default JS editor in Unity. Though it's not been that bad as I can just easily pull up the Unity script reference. Getting used to that now.

Challenge game completed!

Man I sat here for 8hrs and didn't even eat. I think it's a bit long for how simple it is but I'm no programmer! Ran into some trouble but was able to have my friend help me and a forum post. What got me tied up was figuring out how to instantiate the targets from their spawn objects once they were destroyed. What I ended up doing was tracking the name of where they spawned from. Thanks Tom!

Check it out. Music by Alex Vaughn haha.

Unity: What I've done so far

http://www.endbossgames.com/unity/beginner2.html

timer
instantiate
addforce
translate
destroy
collision

The link above is a combination of the stuff learned so far from the Unity3D student website. Pretty much all the stuff I learned previously but it's good to do another pass. I think this time it's acutally sticking in my head.

A few more tutorials and I will see about the challenges. I will dump everything into
www.endbossgames.com/unity

Also I got unity embedded using some iframe script written by the guy here: http://www.unityversum.com/

thanks!

Taking some time off: Learning me some Unity

Well here comes another attempt at Unity, but this time I found this awesome website:

http://unity3dstudent.com/

I'm currently on B01 - Basic Collision Detection. What's great about the site is the tutorial are short and gets right to the point. At the end of the beginner tutorials there is also a challenge.

My own personal goal is to make a small web game by end of next week.
