Thanks so much for publishing the code for this! Can you please add a license to the repo? Without one, the ability of others to use this code is limited.

Is it possible to change the documentation on the repository to an editable format instead of PDFs? That way it would be easier to contribute to it and even work in translations for it.

I'm from a non-english speaking country and would be great to be able to point people I'm teaching to this repository and that they are able to find documentation in their own language.

Cheatsheets has no images for ModifyHealthAttribute (on Attributes) and Patrol (on Movement) scripts.

Using the move scipt I got the Message "RigidbodyType2D' does not exist in the current context"

How could I solve the error

Thanks

In the quiddich game we often needed an enemy to move towards a ball instead of just the player, so please don't limit AutoMoveTowardsPlayer to only work with players.

When adding the Playground from the .unitypackage selection when creating a new project, custom Inspectors don't show up.

Hi,

I've found an error when trying the roguelike scene, when the player tries to pick up the coin, it gaves this error:

MissingReferenceException: The variable resourceItemPrefab of UIScript doesn't exist anymore.
You probably need to reassign the resourceItemPrefab variable of the 'UIScript' script in the inspector.
UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate[GameObject] (UnityEngine.GameObject original) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/UnityEngineObject.cs:201)
UIScript.AddResource (System.String resourceType, Int32 pickedUpAmount, UnityEngine.Sprite graphics) (at Assets/Scripts/DONT_USE/User Interface/UIScript.cs:135)
ResourceAttribute.OnTriggerEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collider2D otherCollider) (at Assets/Scripts/Attributes/ResourceAttribute.cs:33)

and under the UIScript, we can't assign the resourceItemPrefabs, since its hidden by the editor script, how do we fix this?

Thanks

This script will make an object wander around.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

[RequireComponent(typeof(Rigidbody2D))]
public class Wander : Physics2DObject
{
	// These are the forces that will push the object every frame
	// don't forget they can be negative too!
	Vector2 directionAndStrength = new Vector2(1f, 0f);

    public float speed = 2f;

	//is the push relative or absolute to the world?
	public bool relative = true;

    public float DirectionChangeInterval = 2f;

    void Start()
    {
        InvokeRepeating("ChangeDirection", 0, DirectionChangeInterval);
    }

    void ChangeDirection()
    {
        directionAndStrength = Random.insideUnitCircle;
    }
	
	// FixedUpdate is called once per frame
	void FixedUpdate ()
	{
		if(relative)
		{
			rigidbody2D.AddRelativeForce(new Vector2(directionAndStrength.x, directionAndStrength.y) * speed);
		}
		else
		{
			rigidbody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(directionAndStrength.x, directionAndStrength.y) * speed);
		}
	}
}

My kids tried to make a quiddich game. Here's a quick action that I coded up for it.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class TakeBall : Action {

    public override bool ExecuteAction(GameObject other)
    {
        other.transform.SetParent(transform);
        other.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().isKinematic = true;

        return base.ExecuteAction(other);
    }
}

Important notes from the missions that led to earning the badge

When importing the current build of the project from GutHub, the only option available under 'Playground' in file menu is 'Export Unity Package' - options to turn on/off Playground Project are not available (although these are demonstrated when the current Global Game Jam Installer Package is used). (Using Unity 2017.3.f1 Personal edn)

Hi, have somebody else noticed the same inconvenient or know how to fix? Thanks in advances.

Hi Ciro :)
Using Unity v2018.3.6f1 and the current Unity Asset Store build of the Unity Playground, I find that some console errors are thrown after toggling between Playground On/Off a couple of times (first time is fine). As a consequence, the user is no longer able to toggle between these modes. The Console Log seems to indicate that the issue relates from syntax changes:

Assets/INTERNAL/Scripts/Editor/DefaultComponents/GameObjectInspector.cs(101,49): warning CS0618: UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.GetPrefabParent(UnityEngine.Object)' is obsolete: Use GetCorrespondingObjectFromSource.'

Assets/INTERNAL/Scripts/Editor/DefaultComponents/GameObjectInspector.cs(112,35): warning CS0618: UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.RevertPrefabInstance(UnityEngine.GameObject)' is obsolete: Use the overload that takes an InteractionMode parameter.'

Cheers,

ObjectShooter only shoots things on the up Y axis, requiring a bit of hierarchy work (parent a sub-object, rotate it) to have something shoot in another direction.

Suggestion: it would be better if the user could decide the axis to shoot from directly in the component.

Upon trying to import the Unity installer package prepared for Global Game Jam (UnityPlayground_Jan18.unitypackage) into Unity 2017.3.1f1 Personal (64bit) an error is thrown 3/4 way through the import process: 'Access is Denied' error mesg for file c:/Program Files/Unity/Editor/Data/unity/Extensions/Unity/Tango/Android/unitygar.aar

From Art of Jimbo on Twitter

the jump scrip, even with a 'ground' tag still seems to let player jump a little higher than they should. I thought the 'ground' tag would allow player to jump once and then drop back down (depending on gravity, drag etc) but it seems even with platform elements tagged with 'ground' you can still make player jump more than they should

Auto Rotate script always starts Z rotation from 0, so if an object is rotated somehow differently it will restart from 0 when the game is launched.

Needs to be starting from the current rotation.

The score on the Defender game does not update when you hit a meteor. Would it be possible to implement or suggest a fix for this?

Follow Target stops working when object becomes a prefab. Player cannot be set as a target for prefab.

Trying to use Unity Playground with the latest Unity Hub results in errors. I tried with Unity Version 2018.4.12f1 and 2019.2.12f1.

Screenshot:

after one day workshop with kids (10/12y) these are my main requests to allow them do next GGJ (maybe i'll submit some PR if you agree):

1. move the Playground components scripts in a custom menu
2. improve the wander script with container area (or radius)
3. create a generic bullet that decreases 1 health live to the enemy, destroying it at 0 lives. this allows bosses and different enemies
4. set Gravity to 0 as default always
5. check integration with Fungus framework ( https://github.com/snozbot/fungus/ ) to not reinvent the wheel for so many features like dialogs and animations)

See screenshot

Each time I try to open a Scene Unity crashed I am using unity 5.3.5

When using the 'Asset-Store' fork (as advised by Ciro) a bug is encountered in the 'Follow Target' (movement) script, if the 'Look at Target' selector is ticked.

The bug manifests itself as a lagging response as the game object with the 'Look at Target' script applied continually readjusts its orientation to match the target (using the orientation specified), but will not commence the pursuit until the target game object stops moving. This glitch manifests regardless of the chose orientation from the drop-down menu.

If the 'Look at Target' selector is left unticked the 'Follow Target' behaviour performs as expected and constantly pursues the target game object.

i am trying to teach my son how to make his first code by following this tutorial (https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/2d-game-creation/2d-games-non-programmers?playlist=17093) but seems like update version is missing "Auto Object Spawner" script or either replaced with something else that i can't find in the update version. we are so close to complete the tutorial and don't want to put him down with all the work we have done so far. it will be kind if anyone can help to guide which script is replaced or where i can find it.

thank you for your help in advance.

Hi, I want to use this project to help people in my town to learn video game development but the language is a big barrier. Is it possible to build some foundation for it to support translation? I want to translate all the components and their variables/options to turkish and teach the kids that way.

Thanks

When teaching I've always emphasised certains aspects of the UI that are consistent and can be relied on. Good UIs generally are also very consistent.

UnityPlayground makes the Unity UI objectively worse in one respect by changing the usual behaviour of numeric fields in the Inspector.

"Hey everyone - notice how you can change values in any number field by dragging with the left mouse button over the label? That's often a really good way to change values and see the results immediately"

"Please sir, why doesn't it work in for Transforms?"

"Erm. It will do on normal Unity projects but for reasons I don't want to go into right now, it doesn't work if we're using UnityPlayground"

I know it's a small thing but it's the kind of thing that chips away at students ability to form a nice mental model of how the software works.
