Assignment 0: Unity Warmup

For this assignment, you are to modify an existing Unity Tutorial and publish the results to a web page.   As the DGML is not available till next week (Sept 5th), this assignment also serves to get everyone to set up Unity (free version) on their own computers.

Please submit the URL of the web page in t-square (we will create an assignment submission, you can submit this there).

Assignment #0 is due at 11:55am on Thursday September 1st (i.e., immediately before class).

Your modifications should satisfy the following requirements:

  • Add your name to the HUD (2D heads-up-display) of the game.
  • Make one or more non-trivial changes to the scripts. The changes should result in some visible change to the game. If you are unsure if your changes are substantial enough, ask.
  • Make one or more non-trivial changes to the 3D graphics content of the game. The changes should result in some visible change to the game. If you are unsure if your changes are substantial enough, ask.
  • Document your changes on the web page you publish the game to. Include the details of your changes, and what a player (or grader!) should do to experience them. Include the modified scripts with the changes documented.

    • Thanks for noticing my oversight, I fixed it in the assignment! I copied the text out of the t-square site (which I had also neglected to “post”) and (of course) the due date isn’t in the text. The joy of using new technology for a class (never used a blog for class before!)

  2. Just wanted to point out that the DMGL is closed until September 5th. Trying to save someone the walk. The door opens but there’s a sign saying it’s closed.

    • Thanks for posting. I’ll add a note to the assignment that you should plan on doing the assignment on your own computer (this assignment doesn’t need the extra features of Unity Pro that the lab machines have, and everyone is supposed to have a machine!)

  3. Just a reminder that you wanted me to post saying we didn’t need a team name for the first Assignment. The criteria above doesn’t say anything about a team name, but the one on t-sqaure does.

    If you hare having trouble getting your assignment to play on the web, your host may be to blame. PRISM WORKS, but if you are hosting on your own website, there may be some server-side problems if your are getting a “download failed” type error.

    Thanks to Byrant Malaski for the solution:

    Basically, if your unity file is not loading you need to add a web.config into either the root directory of your server, or into the folder that holds the .unity3d file.

    Here is the code:









    If that does not work they can contact their host. Phew.
