What you will learn

Make their own Tetris-like puzzle game to be deployed on Mac or PC!

Why take this course?

Note: although the lectures were recorded with an older version of Unity, the final project runs well on Unity 2019

Unity 3D  has quickly become one of today's fastest growing game development tools. Learn more about this fascinating game engine in our project-based class, where we build a Tetris-style puzzle game from scratch! If you have some basic knowledge of C# and Unity, take your skills to a new level by exploring this short course in remaking a classic arcade game.

If you have completed a few basic tutorials on Unity and have some basic knowledge of C# (variables, loops, data structures, etc.),this class is for you! We take a project-based approach, where we follow one game from start to finish.

We will:

  • start with a blank Unity project and flesh out a fully working game.

  • learn some fundamental techniques for creating your own puzzle game

  • follow several C# scripts line-by-line and learn how to organize our scripts logically and cleanly

  • port our application to iOS and Android!   See your glorious game run on a mobile device!

What is covered:

  1. Setup our project settings and environment

  2. Breaking down the gameplay mechanics

  3. Creating a Board class to store our data

  4. Laying out user interface items

  5. Creating our game piece Shape class

  6. Setting up our master GameController class to handle logic

  7. Apply Time to our game logic

  8. Script to handle player input

  9. Add sound effects to game events

  10. Apply particle effects to add some punch to our graphics

  11. Making a score manager to track player progress and high scores

  12. Enhance our game with extra features to make it a polished experience

Join the democratization of game development! Level up your Unity 3D skills and build your Tetris-style game today!

This course is still a very good introduction to Unity (although it has been written with Unity 5 in mind; it still applies to Unity 2022; the particle part has been specifically rewritten/remade to work with Unity 2017 and newer). At the end of the course, I now have a thorough understanding of the underlying game mechanics and how to implement them. Or more precisely: I can now easily add features of my own. Thanks!!

One of the best tech courses I've ever completed on Udemy. I'm a 16+ year full stack dev and really enjoyed this course. The instructor's style is very engaging, and he patiently and clearly explains why he's doing what he's doing unlike some who just speed-code their way through each session. The quality of the content, the best programming practices, the game design and code itself are all top-notch. Even though this course was last updated over 3 years ago, it's still mostly relevant. With only minor tweaks and Google searches (e.g. how to use TextMeshPro instead of the now-legacy Text component) I was able to surpass obstacles arising from the age of the course. The amount of polish of the final Tetris game itself is very high - thankfully unlike most other Unity courses with end-products that look and play like early-access abandonware. If you're a beginner-to-intermediate Unity dev, this is still one of the best courses you can get, even despite its age and I highly recommend it.

Very good explanations of the concepts and bite sized chunks so it is easy to understand the concept before moving on. Great tutorial....

Was really great, recommended for intermediate students, but it is the most comprehensive course, from beginning to end I've went through.

Very good Course, i really enjoyed and learned really good stuffs. I removed half of a star because the course need an update with new versions of unity, but aside of that, it was really interesting

Amazing course. If you are worried about the date that this course was last updated, fear not, I used Unity version 2021 without a single issue. Wilmer spends a lot of time polishing the game which many tutorials skip over.

This course is just excellent , the amount of features this game has and the way the code is developed is truly instructional for any aspiring game dev I'd say this is one of the best products I've come accross so far. Definetely worth the price tag and, more importantly, the time . I will consider buying any product from this author and I hope he puts out more content on game development

very good course by Mr Wilner, works with unity 2021. I'm not sure about the new input system, it's not easy to do on android, so I chose to use the UI and remove a lot of the buttons. A course not to be done passively, and very useful for those who want to learn to structure their code

This course was just absolutely amazing. It taught me a lot about game development, OOP, and Unity. I looked a lot online for other Tetris tutorials, but they were just sloppy, buggy, not presentable, incomplete, or done with bad programming. This course in comparison, was thorough, detailed, packed with extra features, and done to a perfectionist standard. He doesn't take any shortcuts; anytime there's something missing or wrong with the game, he tackles it, even if it'll take 10 minutes. Getting a teacher with that level of detail is definitely worth the price I paid. Taking the course kind of felt like I got to shadow an experienced game dev. His code was just beautiful too, I'm going to try to model mine after his in the future. Overall, I had a really great experience. I ended up making a NES/retro style version of Tetris (With some things added on to his) and it came out extremely well. I'll be putting it in my work portfolio it looks so nice. I would highly recommend this instructor to anyone. Thank you Wilmer!

Excellent course, the instruction is great and the pacing of each section is great. This really is a full packaged course that covers everything you need to create an game.

Great course! The code is very well explained and well organized and clean. Very easy to follow. This course is not only about making a game, it is also about making a very polished game. I only wish this game also had a menu! I learnt many useful Unity stuff like coroutines, delegates, particles, "debug" inspector panel, and more...

Really well structured and teaches really good conventions for coding. A lot of courses really miss out on the importance of how to structure good code.
