How to Make ZigZag in Unity Lesson 1

Welcome to our complete series on how to make the simple mobile game ZigZag. Only the first lesson of this series is available to the public. You will need to be a member of our site to get the rest of this series.

ZigZag was a pretty popular game a few years ago.

For this first lesson, I will show you everything you need to do to set up in your game scene. We will cover the set up of your camera, player’s ball, and platform prefabs. In the next lesson we will dive into some code and we will create a platform generator.

This is the first lesson on how to make ZigZag in Unity. This series is a member-only series so if you would like to gain access to the rest of this series then go sign up as a member today.

Lesson 1 Setup

In this lesson, we will show you how to set up your Tic Tac Toe project in Unity.

Lesson 2 Scripts

In this lesson, we create some of the basic scripts for our Tic Tac Toe game.

Lesson 3 Onclick Controls

Now we will show you how to create some of the needed on click function for our Tic Tac Toe game.

Lesson 4 More On Click

This lesson continues on with the creation of more on click function for the different buttons we have in the game.

Lesson 5 Winner Check

This lesson will teach you one of the most important mechanics of Tic Tac Toe the checker. This function runs after each turn and is used to see if there is a winner.

Lesson 6 Winner Display

Once we find a winner we then need to display the winner to the screen. Without this function, you are just marking a grid with X’s and O’s.

Lesson 7 Scores

For this lesson, we will show you how to add points to a player’s score when the win a game.

Lesson 8 Rematch

For this lesson, we will work on some of the UI so the players can restart the game when the match is over.

Lesson 9 Player Display

For this lesson, we will show you how to switch the display for who’s turn it is.

Lesson 10 Cat

In this lesson, we will handle the condition if no one wins the game.

How to Make Snake

Download this Game Project

Snake Project Unity Package

This is the finished Snake project as seen in our Snake tutorial series.

$5.00 $3.00

Lesson 1 Setup

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.
