During the next classes, time will be devoted to preparing a prototype of the game. Pupils will put their first materials on the game objects. They will also create a script that will allow the character to jump in the air and make the so-called double jump.
6Lesson 6. Scrolling the world, counting the score.
It's time to prepare the level for moving on or actually moving it. The script written during these classes will allow for a little cheating. It's the world that will move towards the player creating the illusion that it's him or her who is running on it. We will also start counting our points.
7Lesson 7. Obstacles, randomly generated world blocks
What is this game where you do nothing but run? We'll add obstacles that we'll have to avoid and the ability to control the difficulty level. The game can't be boring after all.

In the game, it happens that something goes wrong. That's why during these classes, students learn how to reload scenes to restart the level in case of a something goes wrong.

Pieniądze rządzą światem. Dodane zostaną więc do gry by móc zdobywać kasę oraz dodamy zapis najlepszego wyniku, by wraz z kolejnymi próbami starać się pobić swój rekord. Dodamy też platformy, by gra nie działa się tylko na jednym poziomie.
11Lesson 11. Immortality and magnet
PowerUP... Today immortality will be programmed. At least temporary. We will prepare the collectibles, obtaining them during the game will have additional effects for our hero.
12Lesson 12. Advanced UI and game menu
Let us finally build a decent world. Or at least let it build itself. With the help of a few prepared prefabs our charts will be generated randomly. Thanks to that each game will be unique.
13Lesson 13. Upgrade store
We will be working on the interface and menus for the last time. Somehow the game has to start, from somewhere we need to know how many points we have. We will also add music that will accompany us in the game.
14Lesson 14. Game sound, building the game, Unity Ads
It's time for the final touches. Correction of bugs, defects and a cherry on the cake. Export to computer and Android. The most important issues will be discussed and finally we export to boast our game to others.
