Hi Zigurous, I have a question. There is a Github link. Can we use these projects wherever we want?

[@Meteorite_Games]

49:28 - solution to the problem for those who don't see tiles: in the Tiles folder for each tile, change the transparency of Background and Text colors from 0 to 255. I hope I helped you

[@miguiprytoluk]

Thank you! This solved my issue. At 25:09 he instructs to set Alpha as 1, but in my Unity version (2022.3.7f1), the max A value is 255 instead of 1.

tnanks a lot😇

[@robbedoeven1814]

thank you so much, was stuck on this longer than id like to admit!

[@Kylian19]

Thank you, stuff like this makes it so demotivating though, i just feel like learnning this you run into so many small things but it's so overwhelming because you don't know where to look. There so many options, new words it's insane.

[@13-ou1mv]

Thank You!!😃

Love the effort you put into these tutorials, easy to follow, and fun to extend! Keep them coming!

[@鄭柏瑞-w2h]

thank you teacher

[@vladventura1928]

Dude, I really enjoy your videos. On my free time, I like to take your projects and extending them for fun: for example, on the Tetris one, I added a way to preview the next piece. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@narcissisticnarcissus4956]

That is IMO the best way to learn. Take a solid "starter project" and customize it as much as you can.

i feel bad for not having at list 1m subs you are the best tutorial i have learned so much from you

[@aurebv460]

The quality of your videos is just mindblowing, the explanations are clear and in every video I learn something new. Hope you continue with this amazing work. Greatings from Spain.

[@justinbenjamins3828]

I'm not just commenting on this tutorial, but on all tutorials uploaded by Adam. Adam's tutorials are different from others I have seen. Different meaning: - The pace is just right, easy to follow -Adam explains everything, the why to and the why not to -Great voice, pleasant to hear, articulated and you can hear in his voice how dedicated he is in what he does Adam, thanks for your time and effort. This guy is in my top 3!

[@zyper777]

Hi m8, can't wait to watch this! I'm bound to learn something new!

[@midniteoilsoftware]

One time-saving tip: when you want a UI element to fill to the parent area, instead of just clicking the fill button and then manually editing the offsets you can Alt-click the fill button and it will automatically expand to fill.

[@Zigurous]

Did not know that, thank you!

Love your tutorial, leraned a lot in it, Thank you so much

[@theashbot4097]

I have a quick time saver at 48:00 you drag and drop all the tile stats individually, but you can lock the inspector on the board GameObject then select all the tile states then drag and drop all of them on at once! I hope this helps!

[@jasrajbrar7707]

Great tutorial!

[@adamabbott2014]

nice to see you agian, thanks a lot!

[@adeveloper7184]

Man! really cant believe, havent really came a cross to your channel before, its a gem, followed few tutorials. Its all great, have request if you can consider, can you in future maybe replicate some trending casual games like jhonny trigger, mob control etc. If you can. Thank you! and really thank you for these tutorials.

[@ziddilarka7654]

love u brother, u fulfilled my requirement by sharing the whole project, now i can change variables and use it 😁

[@cybermage99]

Thank you for the tutorial. Just used this to make my first unity project. Added in randomization of the tile spawns, so for each tile that spawns there is a 1/6 chance that it elevates to the next tier, repeating until it fails or it reaches the tier below the highest one achieved thus far. Adds in a bit of complication since it can put new tiles that don't merge easily into to inconvenient spots. Additionally I added an animation of the tiles growing from 0 scale to 100% scale when the spawn and doing the inverse when they merge before getting destroyed. I think it makes it slightly easier to follow what is happening when you can see the new tiles emerging rather than just appearing in a place you might not notice.

[@CyberAngel67]

You have misrepresented the Canvas Scaler, if you hover over the Reference Resolution it tells you what this section is for, which is what resolution the UI was designed for. Basically what this means is that if you are on a 1920x1080 resolution and the UI graphics was designed for this resolution, then that is what you put in this section. This allows for the correct scaling to occur. Also when matching the height vs the width, the general rule of thumb match the width if it is portrait, and height if it is landscape, if it is in a resolution of say 4:3 or 5:4 then you would want to do about half way. There is a very good reason for this, and something that is hard to show here in text. And a grid layout would have been better than 4 horizontal layouts.

[@Zigurous]

I'm not exactly sure how I misrepresented it, but I'll try to do a better job of explaining it in the future if it was confusing. The way you described it is the same way I've always thought about it too. It's pretty standard in any UI/UX practice to design at a common, base resolution (depending on the target device(s)), and then adapt/scale accordingly using that as a reference resolution. I work with UX designers every day in my professional work and this is the standard practice they follow, whether it be for websites, mobile apps, games, etc. In the video I state, "usually you should design your UI around a particular resolution and then let it scale from there accordingly". Hence, this resolution you design at becomes the reference resolution. I honestly don't see how this differs from your description of it, but nonetheless I will think about how to better describe this for my future tutorials. The thing about these videos is I can't explain everything in absolute detail (the video is already long enough), so some things get short, simplified explanations as a result which can be a problem in some cases. I appreciate your more detailed clarification. Hopefully it helps others reading the comments too.

[@CyberAngel67]

@@Zigurous And there is the issue, as I said, if you hover the mouse over the words "Reference Resolution" it is not the target device, but what the graphics was designed at. So in your case if your screen is 1920 x 1080, then your graphics would be drawn at that resolution. Then the reference resolution becomes that. Unity will do what it needs to, to then scale that to the devices resolution. I have done 20 years in web design, and I can tell you that it is totally different to how Unity works. I am a member of your discord, maybe we can chat about it and I can show you what I mean at some point

[@Zigurous]

Unity's reference resolution tooltip says "The resolution the UI layout is designed for", which is what I thought I was saying alongside exactly what you are saying. The reference resolution is NOT the screen size. I think we are in agreement with that. The reason I mention to design your UI "based on the target device" is because it wouldn't make sense to design your UI around a resolution that is nothing similar to the devices your application will eventually run on (e.g. don't design at a common desktop resolution if you are making a mobile portrait game, or vice versa). But when I say this I am not saying that the target device's resolution is the reference resolution. Perhaps that's where the miscommunication is coming from.

[@Wikarian99PL]

Yeah, new video Im not gonna sleep tonight

[@rocketsama]

50:34 When I press play the two tiles appear, but they are invisible. I don't know what to do :c

[@LuciMain]

@rocketsama same, have you got a solution?

[@wh_gamer8874]

check your tiles colours they might have too low of a alpha value

[@whitedeath5057]

Hey! Loving the video so far, been wanting to dig into a project myself but I am so demotivated to that I can't yet (that's why I am following your tutorial because it's super relaxing). I'm sort of still a beginner - intermediate in Unity, but I just wanted to cross reference my solution with yours at 53:11 just to check if it's any good! Wouldn't it be better to make a list and populate that list with all the available cells, by looping through each one from the cells list, and then using Random.Range?

[@louisng114]

54:00 Wouldn't that make the spawning uneven (prioritizing cells after occupied ones)? For example, if the bottom row is all occupied, then the top-left corner would have a 5/16 chance to be chosen.

[@Mohammadafkande]

I love your beautiful mini games thanks👌❤️

Hi. Thanks for the awesome tutorials! I have a question though, not sure if i'm the only one experiencing it but without touching anything on the source code, seems like the vertical movements (whether up or down) moves the tiles diagonally instead of up or down? Am I missing something in the game logic or is moving diagonally the accepted behavior? Asking coz I didn't notice it doing diagonal movement on the horizontal axis. Thanks.

Couldn't we just include each number (2, 4, 8, 16 etc) in the appropriate TileState? In this case in the SetState function we can pass only 1 parameter "state", without the number. And also separating numbers and states is error-prone, someone can make a mistake and pass numbers and colors from different states
