Personal Unity Projects

These two projects helped me learn C# programming and Unity3D, while building elements of a Quake style FPS game, using a modified Unity FPS controller.

Projects included:

• Canvas and UI Elements for Frontend, HUD and menus.
• UI Debug Options for bug-testing.
• Controlling values with Sliders. Eg: Volume Control.
• HUD elements to display Level name, Weapon, Ammo, Health and Armour stats.
• Instantiating game objects from Prefabs.
• Destroying instances when obsolete.
• Editing FPS Controller for Jumping and Crouching customisation.
• Player Pickups, adding Keys, Weapons, Ammo, Health and Armour points.
• Weapon switching/rotation using Mouse Wheel, and secondary attacks, using Right Mouse Button.
• State Machines, to control animation on NavAgent and level objects.
• Prioritising melee attack order in NavAgent swarms, and building in variations to their movement, towards a target object.
• Creating Navmeshes for NavAgent navigation.
• Increasing level difficulty by incremental ramping of enemy attributes per level.
• Player and enemies, use melee and projectile weapons.
• Managing Persistent Data. Saving data at Level Complete Checkpoints and Save Game, and Retrieving data on Load Game or Starting Next Level.
• Damaging environmental hazards.
• Level objects such as elevators and lockable doors.
• Material-based Sound Effects.
• Nested properties. On spawn point settings, for displaying controls for instantiation of NavAgents, across several types of enemy spawning.
