This is like one of those 7 minute recipe videos where the food is all washed, chopped up, and ready to throw in the pan already.

Instructions unclear, ended up making GTA V

I had no prior knowledge of game making or programming before watching this video and now I'm nearly done making GTA 10, many thanks.

"i will explain what that means as we go through"
never explains anything

*Things I gathered and inferred from this video:*
•Unity has a lot of pre-built *components* to save time and research on common game elements such as object collisions.
• C# is the main programming language in Unity.
•Assets are stored in folders. These are things like scripts, images, etc.
•Child elements follow around their parents.
•Unity looks for variables at the top of the script. In this case you used:
•Rigidbody2D - squarey in this case
•Transform - the Empty Object
•LayerMask - the whole *ground* layer.
•Physics2D seems to have a lot of useful physics functions, such as OverlapCircle
•Vectors, used in linear algebra are described by Vector2 (2D) and Vector3 (3D).


Thanks for sharing this video! Please move the artsy head and keyboard shots off to the side so we can still see what you're typing. Please demonstrate the process for putting a Unity app on a smartphone. It would have been nice to see the change of number when you changed the speed. Cheers!

[ilusionkick]

It's not working, I don't know why.
Edit: Now It's working, still don't know why🤓

a tutorial for beginners really shouldnt be rushed, its a challenge to keep up

[JollyDoodle]

When I'm watching a tutorial, the last thing I want the educator saying is, "you don't need to worry about what this means"

Yes, I absolutely do.

"not much coding knowledge requierd"


and he kept cracking up that keyborad the whole video

[v.d.]

I have watched this in 2x speed and made a game for 3.5 minutes

[nickmannhardt]

This video literally skips over the ONLY piece of information I came here for

[indieKook]

This is the kinda guy that is smiling even when he is frowning.

Instructions unclear: didn't have everything ready like you did and it took me longer than 7 minutes *(actually a whole 45 minutes, might I dare say)*

[Rishiraje]

int main()

{

create << "GTA V";

return 0;

}

"dont worry about what these mean" oh okay thats just the most important thing you need to learn but okay i wont worry about it.
