Another Unity Tutorial: Runner

(Note: this website appears to be down right now, hopefully just temporarily)

I remembered a tutorial I ran through when I was trying to learn a bit more Unity, it’s at this site:

http://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/runner/

It create a pretty rough-looking infinite side scrolling platformer (in the genre started by Canabalt).  What I like about it, though, is that it’s all code-based:  there are no pre-built models or animations that get “dropped in”.  There are some things about it that are old (it uses the old particle system, for example) because it was written a while ago.  But, there are some nice programming and code-structure techniques demonstrated.

If you are new to Unity and/or C#, I recommend it.  It will only take an evening or two.
