Unity Tutorial 05

For this weeks Unity Tutorial we were tasked with doing:

Lesson 3.2 Make the World Whiz By (70 mins)

In this lesson we learnt how to repeat the background seamlessly to make it appear as if the world is running by. We also learnt how to make the game stop if the player collides with an item and have the game say Game Over! We also learnt how to stop the background from moving and the obstacles from spawning. Finally we had to learn how to make all all the objects destroy after they get past the player.

I found this unity tutorial quite easy to follow other than the last part, for some reason my code would just not work even though I read over it multiple times and everything seemed correct. I find this to be the most frustrating thing in using Unity as it is so difficult to spot small mistakes in code and if you cannot find it the whole game will not work. It makes it a lot more time consuming and confusing.

Overall I'm enjoying them and learning how to make games although Im still not sure I would have the knowledge or be capable of making my own game by myself just yet. So I think it will be beneficial for me to follow a few more tutorials before being able to create my own game.
