For this tutorial series, we will show you how to create your very own Flappy Bird game. We will do this using the Unity3D game engine. This tutorial series is meant for beginners and all you need prior to starting is a computer, an internet connection, and Unity 3D which is free to download off the Unity3D website.
Lesson 1
For this lesson, setting up our project by creating our folder system and importing some assets. For this lesson, setting up our project by creating our folder system and importing some assets.
Lesson 2
In this lesson, We will be setting up our game scene and our player object. We will also begin programming our bird to give it a flap function.
Lesson 3
For this lesson, We will be creating death zones so that the bird cannot go out of bounds. We will program this death zone to trigger a game over when the bird runs into it.
Lesson 4
In this lesson, we will be creating the pipe that the bird has to travel through in order to score points.
Lesson 5
In this lesson, we will code a spawning system for the pipe which will spawn the pipe into the scene at random times.
Lesson 6
This lesson will be programming the interaction between the bird and the pipes if the bird successfully travels through the pipes. We will increment a score variable.
Lesson 7
For this lesson, We will make it so the bird will tilt with the direction they are falling or flapping up.
Lesson 8
For this lesson, We will teach you how to display the player’s score to the screen.
Lesson 9
This lesson will show you how to create a game over screen that will be displayed to the player when they lose the game.
Lesson 10
This lesson will teach you how to create the main menu screen for your Flappy Bird game.

In this lesson, we will go through all the steps we need to take to set up our Unity project for creating the classic game Snake. We will go over setting up our file system and as well our main game scene.
Lesson 2 Player Movement
In this lesson, we will teach you how to create the snake object and we will show you how to program the basic forward movement of the snake object.
Lesson 3 More Movement
This is the second half to creating the movement of the snake object.
Lesson 4 Changing Direction
Now that we have the basic movement of the snake object we need to program the controls to change the direction of the snake when the player presses a key on the keyboard.
Lesson 5 Growing Size
For this lesson, we will teach you how to program your snake so that it will have a size to its length. This will make it so latter when we program the eating of food the snake can get bigger and bigger.
Lesson 6 Food System
In this lesson, I will show you how to create a food generator. This mechanic makes it so that food will spawn at a random position in your scene, getting us ready for when our snake starts eating the food.
Lesson 7 Scoring
This is where we finally get to program the interaction between the snake and the food objects. This interaction will give a point to the player, make the snake grow by one, respawn the food, and add entertainment to our game.
Lesson 8 Game Over
Although our game now has an entertainment factor it is not any bit challenging which means it is still boring. To fix this we will program the game over for the game which occurs when the player runs into themselves.
Lesson 9 Main Menu
Now that the basics of our game are made we will now show you how to create the main menu for this game and how to program the transition between our menu scene and our game scene.
