Homework
Homework is based on the lectures and verifies that you understood them. Each assignment is due 14 days after the corresponding lecture and is submitted as a WebGL build together with a DevLog on itch.io. Details are explained in the lecture the assignment belongs to.
- After lecture 2 — your own 3D world, input and camera model
- After lecture 4 — source code of a basic feature implemented in C# with a nice Odin UI
- After lecture 6 — simple UI for your game using UI Toolkit
- After lecture 8 — a feature based on Tweening, Animation curves, VFX, Sound, 3D animation or physics
- After lecture 10 — either a material made with a custom shader / Shader Graph, or an interactible NPC with simple AI
