Development of a 2D shoot 'em up video game in Unity

Overview

“In this lesson, you will see the importance of game physics, why use them and how to take advantage of them. You will understand the collisions of objects and their different types, and you will learn to handle common patterns for collision detection, as well as to simulate trajectories and movements. All this, using the Physics2D engine provided by Unity.”

In this video lesson Hernán Espinosa addresses the topic: Physics2D is your friend, which is part of the Domestika online course: Development of a 2D shoot 'em up video game in Unity. Learn how to create a shooting video game using the leading platform.

“Physics 2D is your friend In this lesson you will see the importance of game physics, why use them and how to take advantage of them. I wanted to remind you of the problem we had inside the player, where we shoot, we are instantiating the shots but these never die and begin to accumulate here, which is going to be a big problem if we don't destroy these objects. How can we destroy them? There are many ways and now I want to explain how to take advantage to 2D Physics or Unity physics. Sure, you will think that physics serve to simulate gravity or trajectory or apply force to objects and the...”
