● Transform basics: Translate(), Rotate()
● Access components (GetComponent<>)
🛠️ Mini Project: Move a character (cube or sphere) using arrow keys.
✅ Week 3: Physics & Collisions
● Rigidbody vs Collider
● OnCollisionEnter(), OnTriggerEnter()
● Apply forces, gravity
● Layer masking & tags
🛠️ Mini Project: Build a simple platformer or marble roll game.
✅ Week 4: UI & Scene Management
● Create and style UI (buttons, sliders, text)
● Use Canvas, RectTransform, and EventSystem
● Scene switching with SceneManager
🛠️ Mini Project: Add a main menu with "Play", "Quit", and score counter.
🗓️ Phase 2: Build Simple Games (Weeks 5–8)
✅ Week 5–6: Build a 2D Game (like Flappy Bird or Platformer)
● Unity 2D workflow (sprites, tilemap, camera setup)
● Player movement & animations
● Parallax backgrounds
● Obstacles and scoring
🛠️ Project: Clone of Flappy Bird, Dino Run, or 2D Platformer.
✅ Week 7–8: Build a 3D Game (like Endless Runner or Maze Game)
● 3D environment setup and modeling (basic)
● Player controller and camera follow
● Use prefabs for spawning
● Game over and restart systems
🛠️ Project: Simple 3D endless runner or maze escape game.
🗓️ Phase 3: Intermediate Concepts (Weeks 9–12)
✅ Week 9: Animation
● Use Animator and Animation window
● Create transitions and blend trees
● Trigger animations with code
🛠️ Animate a character jump, idle, and walk.

● Use Events for decoupled logic
✅ Week 11: Audio, Effects & Polish
● Add music, SFX with AudioSource
● Trigger sounds from scripts
● Use Particle Systems for explosions, effects
🛠️ Make your game feel alive!
✅ Week 12: Build & Export Your Game
● Export to Windows/WebGL/Android
● Optimize file size & performance
● Version control with Git or GitHub
● Share via itch.io or similar platforms
