Unity 2D Pong Game in 20 Minutes

NOTE: If you're a complete beginner, it's helpful to watch some official Unity tutorials before watching this. We assume very basic familiarity with the Unity interface.

Learn how to setup the scene, receive input, move the ball and paddle, and create win conditions - all in just one small video!

This 20 minute tutorial took me 2 hours. IT WORKS THOUGH!

First game in Unity for me, I've previously done it in Godot but I didn't understand so well I did here. To do it in Unreal seemed impossible. Nice tutorial, good work and thank you for giving me the chance to get introduced into Unity. I'm surprised that you only have 61k views at this moment, you were explaining very well everything, any student (I'm high school) with basic C++ / C# knowledge and a bit of classes / structs theory should get the idea. Again thanks man.

So no other beginner have to make the mistake i did:
4:36
At first i clicked on the GameManger in the Asset tabs and then added the ball and paddle, when i ran the game they didnt show and error message said object you want to Instantiate is null
Turns out i should have clicked on GameManager in the Hierarchy tab instead to add the ball and paddle.
Whole thing is working now, great tutorial!

Thanks for the tips on Serialize field to access variables without making public, and for the use of the Static Variables - Very cool.

Really good tutorial nice quick and to the point, The only problems i faced were problems with my own code and to anyone reading this something i'd like to tell you is ALWAYS double check your own code when facing errors, I spent WAY too much longer then i'd like to admit around the 16;27 minute mark because i was setting the SPEED not MOVE to 0 lol, Have a nice day/night.

Very clearly explained, and length of video is right on. Thank you.

Great tutorial, with good explanation with working easy game to build.

[lackingpotatoes]

This is an amazing video, I learned so much and your explaining was very good. Thank you!

[edwardfaull]

so much clearer to follow than many tutorials available, I found this very helpful

[hwms]

Great tutorial! Well explained and straight to the point (kept the video under 25 minutes).

[muhammadyasser]

Thank you for the awesome tutorial, I like how your code is clean. Keep up the good work.

Took longer than expected, I'm having trouble opening scripts in one instance of visual studio. I kept running into problems only to find out I had missed a capital like 'localscale' instead of 'localScale'. But got it working in the end, thanks for the clear instructions!

I have to admit, this was extremely hard to follow along, you went through the coding extremely quickly, as a new programmer, I found myself replaying the video multiple times and pausing at sections just to try and follow along. This is what I would imagine probably the most simple program to create in unity hence why I searched it up and yet, your "20-minute tutorial" took me almost 1hr 30 minutes. Perhaps if this is an advanced tutorial, or you are attempting to reach a more advanced set of users, please state so in the title as I would like to have followed a tutorial that is more applicable to my skill set. However, other than that, this tutorial is wonderful, I now have a working 2 player pong game and found the tutorial code to work perfectly.

Thanks for making this video! Please make an update video if possible showing us wannabe programmers how to program in a score counter, and a reset instead of disabling the script. Thank you!

[kidbuu]

Went through the whole tutorial and ended up with a pretty good pong game, thanks! One thing I would suggest, please make the video a little slower and talk slower, it was a real struggle to keep up with how fast you explained everything (even though it was explained well).

[burninice]

Great Video! I'll be looking more into your videos during this sem break

[luisluiscunha]

Great job! Thank you for the nice explanation.

[kieran]

This is a good tutorial. You explained it well. Gj :)
