var dirs = new[] { (x - 1, y, hwalls, x, y, Vector3.right, 90, KeyCode.A), }; "A" I WANT TO PUT A UI BUTTON INSTEAD OF THIS

[@awesomegamedev]

There is no shortcut to put a UI button. You'll need to go through some Unity UI tutorials, for example kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWXYgJ2YatVmf9E (in any case, I recommend to look for tutorials published within the last 12 months as Unity changes quite fast). You will then need a method/function which does these lines (remove them from Update) with appropriate k, wx, wy, nx, ny (depending on the key pressed and intended move direction): if (Input.GetKeyDown(k)) if (wall[wx, wy]) Player.position = Vector3.Lerp(Player.position, new Vector3(nx, ny), 0.1f); else (x, y) = (nx, ny);

Hi! I don't exactly understand you: > when I print it out ... > there is no scene on some phones ... What do you mean?

[@ahmetozbey3208]

@@awesomegamedev THE SCREEN DOES NOT WORK ON SOME PHONES BECAUSE IT IS DUE TO "URP"

[@awesomegamedev]

​@@ahmetozbey3208 I've never compiled Unity project for phones so I don't know how to fix it:( It might be not URP itself, but specifically: 2D Renderer and 2D Lights, because they are still "Experimental" features. Another thing you need to know is that Unity's 2D shadows are currently quite performance-intensive. 40x40 maze was already lagging a lot on my PC. You will have performance issues on mobiles with much smaller maze sizes.

> where did you learn unity Various KZbin tutorials, googling specific question. At the moment, Unity's official learning resources and Unity's official KZbin channel are quite good. > how much time it took I've been learning over the course of several years. But you can start creating games with Unity right-away, just don't expect to create games fast as in the video. It takes time, especially if you are just learning. Take part in "game jams". Brackeys game jam is coming soon, by the way.

This is just amazing! Simplicity is beauty. I would really like to know how did you proceed to make such maze generation. Great video and looking forward to next :)

[@awesomegamedev]

Thanks! Big maze generation tutorial will happen, but later (maybe after 5-6 videos), once I am more comfortable/fast with video production. The next video will be as stupid as the previous one. Some interesting Physics stuff turned out to be harder than I estimated, so I had to default to a simple idea for the next video to keep myself on video-production-"track", but I laid the groundwork for some cool stuff in the future.

[@egertsus]

its so cool game I tried to make it but I just don't have these options that you had. Can I get the Unity project file to see what I did wrong

[@awesomegamedev]

Sorry for a long reply. I did this project quite some time ago and I don't have the files on my current laptop. But the files likely wouldn't help you much since Unity changes quite a lot from year to year. If it's still relevant, feel free to ask specific questions and I'll try to answer. You can also try to watch the most recent tutorials on relevant topics, as they'd be most likely to use an updated Unity.

How can I make it a 3D? which code do I need to add or change?

[@awesomegamedev]

You actually don't need to change any code. Change: 1. Camera (or likely Virtual Camera, i don't remember exactly) settings to "perspective" instead of "orthographic" 2. Replace the prefab which is spawned from a 2d sprite to some kind of 3d box If you want to make it 1st/3rd person: 3. Add first person controller to the character (search on KZbin for some tutorials) 4. Add box collider to the new wall prefab from step #2 5. Remove all of the movement code from my script

[@awesomegamedev]

[@jimmyliu0104]

May I ask a question? The most difficult part for me to understand is probably how the maze's walls self generate without forming a little loop(or square,circle?). I would like to know which part of code solve it. I guess it would be the "if" statement. BTW, great video!

[@awesomegamedev]

Comparison: st[nx, ny] == 2 is responsible for not placing too many walls It means: "only place wall if the next cell has been fully processed" There is also an extra comparison && Random.value > holep (now that I think about it, it should have been >= holep, but not a big difference) which sometimes prevents a wall from being placed and creates a small number of loops, which make the maze more interesting. I am glad you liked the video! I have been absent from channel for quite some time, but next videos are in the works:)

The setup is the same in all variation, but in the case of total darkness I just disabled global light (from 5:40) and set shadow intensity (from 5:46) to 0. No other changes (as far as I can remember). Shapes of light are just done by Unity based on Lights and Shadow-Casters.

[@kimobm]

Awesome video and good work :) I tried to do the same project, and it worked !! But there is a problem when replacing the simple line wall you draw with a sprite of a wall : When it comes to the 6 or 7th level, the number of batches increases a lot, and the fps starts to drop ! And even more every next level, as there is more and more instanciated walls and ground. It seems that both Static and Dynamic Batching don't do big difference at this state. Any help would be greatly Welcome :)

[@awesomegamedev]

Thanks, glad you liked it:) The simple line (in this case) is still a sprite (it needs to be because of the use of shader graph) so it doesn't make a difference whether it's just a line or another sprite. I also observed big fps drops on bigger levels while working on this video and I tracked it down to shadows. Try removing shadows (Shadow Casters on walls) and everything will become much faster (and the number of batches will decrease drastically). Although I don't have a simple solution for how to maintain shadows and fix performance at the same time.

Hi! Love this game! I was wondering if there's a way to finish the game after 3 randomize mazes

[@awesomegamedev]

Yes: add variable to keep the level number (in addition to level width, height and others). Increase it when level finishes and check if it's three. You'll obviously also need to make something to show as an end-screen instead of new level

[@maripellecer]

@@awesomegamedev I'm still a bit new programming, could you please show me how would you code it?

[@awesomegamedev]

@@maripellecer Are you comfortable with: variables, conditionals (if/else), functions? You'll likely need to follow some easier beginner tutorials on programming to understand it and write the logic. In order to create an end-screen, I'd suggest to look up (and follow) some Unity UI tutorials. It's a broad topic, but shouldn't be too hard to get started.

[@Kowalski2007]

Well done! However, you're using Vector3.Lerp wrong :-D The third parameter is t that should keep increasing to interpolate from A to B. If you use a constant, you end up getting the same value over and over again (unless you move A or B, which should not be done as long as you're lerping)

[@ArtisticallyGinger]

I disagree. Sure the leap function can interpolate between 2 values, but its also a fantastic way to get certain distances along a straight line between 2 vectors. I've used plenty to take specific positions out of a set of Vector3s.

[@awesomegamedev]

Thanks for the comment > If you use a constant, you end up getting the same value over and over again (unless you move A or B, which should not be done as long as you're lerping) I use Lerp two times and in both times the code is essentially: A = Vector3.Lerp(A, B, t); so in my case 'A' changes 1) First time it's: Player.position = Vector3.Lerp(Player.position, new Vector3(nx, ny), 0.1f); - this slightly moves the player towards the wall, it is only executed during one frame and does exactly the job expected 2) Second time it's: Player.position = Vector3.Lerp(Player.position, new Vector3(x, y), Time.deltaTime * 12); - this produces effect where movement is faster at the beginning (because distance between A and B is large) and slower at the end (which looks nice and is the desired behaviour). Although this line is frame-rate dependent (the ball moves faster with low frames-per-second and correspondingly big Time.deltaTime), so it's not ideal, but it does the job and it's short:)

[@awesomegamedev]

​@@ArtisticallyGinger yes! I explained it's usage in my code a bit more in the comment above. Not sure if all people in the thread get notified about new comments.
