Project Description

Lost In The Sauce is an interactive 2D platformer that aims to teach students about the fundamentals of coding such as if and else statements and relating it to game development within the unity engine. In the game the player will have to jump along walls and platforms in order to progress through the upward scrolling level. As the player moves through the game, their task will be to collect as many points as they can (collect the falling ice cream cones) before they reach the bottom of the screen which ends the game. Before students get to play the game, they must first import the games files into Unity Hub and run the code. This project is meant to teach students the basics of C# coding including basic if/else statements as well as for loops. This game will help students understand how games are developed with the use of coding, and is meant to inspire the students to try and create their own Unity games with the coding and unity knowledge learned.

• Unity is a powerful, cross-platform game engine used for creating 2D, 3D, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) experiences. It offers a user-friendly development environment with a robust set of features including real-time rendering, physics engines, animation, and audio systems, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced developers. Unity supports a wide range of platforms, such as mobile, desktop, web, and consoles, allowing developers to build and deploy applications across various devices seamlessly. Additionally, it has a large asset store, extensive documentation, and an active community, which makes it easier to find resources, assets, and support for projects of any size. It’s widely used in gaming but is also popular in other fields like education, architecture, simulation, and interactive media.
