Hello Adam, I am a new follower, I speak Arabic, and your name is Arabic. Do you speak Arabic?

[@mmustahsanraza]

I've done exactly as you did but my score is not adding up colliders are not working and my game is not going over. I'm not colliding with ground and pipes I'm using Unity 2022 can you please help me?

[@kiddbrawlic]

So I am using 2022 unity and at the end the click for the button is different. its asking for a target assembly and a method name and i dont know what to do.

[@wer...-.....-..-....]

can u give a version of pc

[@north3269]

I absolutely love your videos! I'm actually new to coding and stuff and I'm outta plans. Your tutorial is so easy and simple to understand while these thing usually hurt my brains. There are only a FEW KZbinrs who can actually explain it simple and stuff and you're included! You're actually too Underrated.

[@treroldan8707]

This is an amazing tutorial, love your overall vibe! I am brand new to both coding and game creation and this was so easy to follow. I love how you take the time to actually describe what each line of code is doing and why. Definitely going to be subscribing and checking out your other content. Thank you so much, and keep making videos!!

[@panaxio_oficial]

Bro I love you so much, starting with Unity was my new year's resolution, and today (almost at the end of the year) I finally stopped blaming myself for not being consistant with the official courses that I was watching, and your videos have reminded me that definitely the best way to learn is by doing and not just watching boring videos from an official course. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@Zigurous]

Thank you so much for your support!

[@silverglasss6786]

Coldn't be more pleased with a tutorial than this! It worked out perfect. The background music created a really good atmosphere as well.

[@JamesTolias]

This tutorial is absolutely incredible! I am a new software engineer with about 1 year of experience and I am getting into Game Development, and this guy uses the best practises, makes a pixel perfect game, and explain everything pretty accurately!

[@adityaburadkar9002]

Thank you! if anyone having problem with scoring as a TMP then add 'using TMPro;' and instead of text use 'public TextMeshProUGUI scoreText;' and that should solve the problem.

[@LaurenArmiland-yw9vh]

Thank you!!!!

[@seemslegittome7726]

Such an underrated channel, I love the wole tutorials since he explained what is the use of the codes and really fixed the problems. I hope you gain more subs and views cause you deserved it. Hoping to learn more about your tutorials.

[@UchihaAshuke]

Thank you for all your effort. I have started learning unity again after multiple failed attempts earlier. Love your contents. Keep up the good work.

[@soular7159]

This was the first time I've ever worked with c# and the first 2d game I've made with u you it was such a help to have this tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@SierraGuerrero]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to create, share, and explain the process.

[@DarkMaaastersTubeLoL]

I don't have any patience usually but man I've watched your tutorial fully. Very nice explained and it went smoothly. Keep it up.

[@rfernandez83]

Bought me a mac about a month ago to get in the game app biz. This definitely helped learning how things work, because the unity tutorial like John Lemon doesn't feel like it's explaining very well what it all does compared to how you are doing it. Thanks for the video.

[@CreativeBeginnings-]

Great video! Your teaching style is excellent and a perfect pace!

[@rafaelpatricio8022]

This video helped me a lot to produce a project for school and to learn a lot more about “Unity”, which is why you just gained a follower. Thank you very much.

[@sreemayeeghosh]

Extremely well explained steps! All assets and scripts have been carefully cleaned up, organized and rendered bug free👍🏻👏🏻

[@yazanjordan3103]

i liked the video before i watch it because i trust this channel and i just added it to my future project thank you zigurus

[@_game_x7847]

Awesome Work Sir! I actually needed this!! Thank You :D

[@sd003ds]

Really amazing tutorial. Helped me a lot as I am just starting my game development journey. Thanks a lot for making this!!

[@juliangubbels5217]

Wake up! Zigurous posted!

[@JackJack-tl1nm]

Another banger video! As a suggestion for possible future tutorials, I would love to see a tower defense style game such as bloons td :)

[@stanislav_5312]

Thanks for this tutorial! Really easy to get into with your narration.

[@absolubouess932]

My FIRST game ever ! Thank you man , I appreciate it

[@abhilashlr9259]

Great video man, I love your tutorials. Like the other comment said, how about a tower defence next?

[@scottbarba9247]

These are great!! I'm teaching game design using Unity in AP Computer Science Principles at the high school level and your use of functions, calls, loops and arrays is perfect for meeting AP's criteria!!!

[@mrworldwide9172]

Thanks man i really appreciate what you do I want to be a game developer and your tutorials are extremely helpful

[@joshfatal]

Thank you so much for making this channel. I'm a nobody hobbyist game developer still trying to learn as much as I can and I felt like there was no hope to getting into this field (no degree, no experience.) Aside from learning a lot from your tutorials (which are very well produced and paced) I'm planning to make most, if not all of the games you've taught on here, and add my own modifications so I can some day put to gather a portfolio website. For Flappy Bird, so far I've added a feature that puts a translucent copy of the next set of pipes on the right side of the screen shortly before they pop into view. I have the game set in 9:16 aspect ratio to mimic a phone, so this feature I feel makes the game a little bit less frustrating (not really, it's still Flappy Bird.) It's a little buggy but it actually works and I'm proud of it. Thank you again for doing this, keep on creating!

[@Liforus1]

Oh wow. I did Flappy Bird yesterday all by myself as a first game without tutorials. But your tutorial will be watched from start to end as always 👍

[@itsfazzeliv259]

Thank you, the best tutorial I have found!

[@waldojams]

[@burak7861]

[@nicklansbury3166]

Greetings from the UK. Thanks for this great lesson. You mentioned in the lesson we could suggest further tutorials. I'd love to see a version of Atari Missile Command using Unity. Keep up the great work.

[@safakaya2904]

[@MrJeepty]

This was great. Nice and simple code. I followed the tutorial using Unity 2021.3.16 without any issues.

[@Opuntiaindica]

Im about halfway through all your tutorials, leaving mario for last. You've really helped me fully understand some concepts, I can only hope you upload a new vid before I'm done with Mario, either way Thank you so much, and I completely understand if you needed a break from youtube, once again thank you.

[@spacecow456ify]

Amazing tutorial. I can make my first game thanks to you. I did some update by added background music and bird rotation when falling.

[@Aerionix1]

Doubt anyones looking these days but curious why we use time.deltatime for the change to direction using the gravity var and also for updating our position, but not when we change direction earlier with our strength var. Thanks for these man, i dunno if you're still doing this stuff but looks like it helped a lot of folks.

[@user-dp5ku4ql1d]

Great tutorial. Never made a game in any engine and been wanting to learn for a while and came across your, I'm glad I found this, easy to follow and understand, really did learn a lot, took me around 4 hours as making my own sprites and background. Would love to know how to add add the sound when you click/tap the screen for the bird 🤔

[@Blankname17391]

[@Ali-xt2ex]

Thank you so much...i didn't really understand the coding part much because i don't have experience but still tried and it eorked

[@stempycat4s]

Amazing!

[@alsowow]

A fun tip for people who just finished the tutorial is to add some more things to your game with the things you learned throughout the tutorial! like a simple highscore counter for example

[@riasaraiya1930]

Thank you, kind sir

[@Tahir-Guliyev]

Thank you!

[@user-ic1wi4do9z]

Did Finish it Today! With the Github Element for the New Text I needed to Create a TextProMesh Font to use it. Also I somehow overlooked the Part where you did add 2DBoxCollider to the Player and was endlessly long struggling to find out why my bird aint colliding. Me as a Newbie didn't understand that RigidBody2D not count as a Collider.. :D Beside the New Text I also needed to declare the text differently in game manager but beside that The Video still works in 2024! Loved it as Entry. Now im Going through Unity Learn and come C# Free Course to learn the Basics. Flappy Bird here rly helped me to understand some basic parts , even tho I did almost copy paste a lot. Thanks for this!

[@justanameyy]

I can't thank you enough!

[@AliDouiyek]

Thanks , Your tutorial is awesome ! There is one more minor fix to do : the ground speed and pipe speed are slightly different, so they need to be adjusted.

[@Zigurous]

Thanks! Feel free to adjust the speeds to your preference.

[@seddickhachanni1302]

Amazing Thank U
