What you will learn

You will have a complete Game like the Asteroids in 3D like in the 1970's.

You will learn basic coding in C#. (coroutines, enum, transforms, keyboard inputs....)

Why take this course?

In this Unity Video Course you will learn how to create your own Asteroids 3D Space Shooter Top Down Game using the Unity Game Engine. For the functionality we write C# Code in Monodevelop.

Unity

You will learn to create the complete process in Unity and setup everything needed
I will show you how you can setup the playfield and organize the Hierarchy.
We use the Canvas System for Grafics or Score later which requires Unity 4.6+

We will put in functionality with scripts using Monodevelop and C# (you can also use Visual Studio)
We will implement Keyboard inputs for steering the ship
We will create a "wrapping" system to keep all asteroids in play
We will create simple AI for the Ufo enemy

As a result of this course you will have a finished Space Shooter Game based on Asteroids. In the end you can change all 3D Models to your own and optimize all to create a Shooter like that in any style you like.

Great run through of making a classic arcade game. I'd say it might be too fast paced for a total beginner but for someone with some Unity/C# experience it was efficient and no-nonsense and i would definitely recommend!

Amazing to see an old arcade favorite come to life so quickly and with so little code! Like Octo Man's other courses the pace is great, the code simple enough to follow along & understand and by the end of the course you always have nice basic demo level, with a menu & game over scenes. Whatever Octo Man teaches, I always wish for more: additional power-ups, game modes or a new spin on the game, but you can't beat the price for the basic game you build. I always jump at Octo Man's latest game courses!

very good course - the instructors walks you through every step thoroughly and you have a very good working Asteroids game at the end. This is the second course I've taken from this instructor and would definitely take more.

I would like to thank my lecturer for this project, without this tutorial, I wouldn't get to make this game.

The process was mostly well explained, easy to follow, and suitable for beginners. However, sometimes the captions were different from the lecture. Also, on some specific functions the instructor doesn't seem to thoroughly establish what goal he wants to achieve and how he will get there by using that specific function. Otherwise though, excellence tutorial series. I recommend this to all Unity beginners.

The instruction was given at a good pace; not too slow and repetitive, but not so fast that the information couldn't be absorbed. Not as much use of the pause button as some tutorials. The student is encouraged to try your own personally pleasing preferences when available which leads to some exploration, some breakage and learning to fix things. I made my own assets for the tutorial, so it was really exciting to see the game come to life. This course gives a good foundation. I'm ready to learn more by diving into the Scripting API to get more familiar with Unity and do more tutorials. Thank you!
