2. Name your project and set the project location.
3. Click on the "Create" button to create the project.

Step 3: Designing the Game's UI and Levels

In this step, we will design the game's UI and levels using the Block Painter. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Unity scene and create a new canvas.
2. Select the canvas and go to the "Block Painter" window.
3. Click on the "Color" tab and select a color for the background.

Step 4: Implementing Admob in the Game

To implement Admob in the game, follow these steps:

1. Open the Unity scene and create a new script.
2. Name the script "AdmobScript" and attach it to a GameObject.
3. Open the script and add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;
   using Google-Mobile-Ads;

public class AdmobScript : MonoBehaviour { private InterstitialAd interstitial;

void Start()
{
    // Initialize Admob
    MobileAds.Initialize(initStatus => {
        // Initialize the interstitial ad
        interstitial = new InterstitialAd("your-admob-ad-id");
        interstitial.LoadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().Build());
    });
}

void Update()
{
    // Check if the ad is ready
    if (interstitial.IsLoaded())
    {
        // Show the ad
        interstitial.Show();
    }
}

}

Replace "your-admob-ad-id" with your actual Admob ad ID.

**Step 5: Testing and Debugging the Game**

In this step, we will test and debug the game to ensure it is working correctly. Follow these steps:

**Step 6: Publishing the Game on the Google Play Store**

To publish the game on the Google Play Store, follow these steps:

1. Build the game for Android by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Build Settings" -> "Android".
2. Create a new Google Play Developer account if you don't already have one.
3. Upload the game to the Google Play Store.
4. Fill out the game's metadata, such as the title, description, and screenshots.
5. Set the game's pricing and availability.
6. Publish the game!

That's it! With these steps, you have successfully created a complete Unity game with Admob integration using the Block Painter.
