In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to become an oculus meta developer. Once you are a developer you will be able to upload your VR apps and Games to App Lab. Developing virtual reality games for App Lab is extremely easy and I will show you how.

Create False Floor Game Mechanic in Unity
This video will show you how to create a false floor prefab and game mechanic for Unity. False floors are used in several different video games but most commonly they can be found in platformers. A false floor is a regular floating platform that the player can not normally tell is false but as soon as the player steps onto the platform, it then falls out from under them. We will create a system in this video so that there should be a true path for the player to find their way to the other side. This path will be random and different every game.

Create Bounce Bumper Game Mechanic in Unity
This lesson will show you how to create a bounce bumper prefab and game mechanic in Unity. Bounce bumpers are used in many different video games. They are most commonly found in platformers and are used to bounce the player of a ledge. They are also found in many pinball type games.
To create a bounce prefab you will need to begin with a capsule object that you can replace in the future. this capsule needs to have a collider after which you can add a new script to this object. Inside the script, you will want to you the oncollisionenter function to detect the interaction between the player and the bumper. Inside this function, you will want to add an explosion force to your player at the point of the collision.
