Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• Unity Hub installed on your computer
• Unity 2020.3 or later version installed
• AdMob account set up
• Unity Ads account set up
• Android Studio or Xcode installed (depending on the platform you want to deploy to)

Step 1: Setting up the Project

1. Open Unity Hub and create a new project.
2. Choose the "3D" template and select the "Empty Project" option.
3. Name your project "Ball Sort - Color Bubble Sort Puzzle" and set the project location.
4. Create a new folder called "Assets" and add the following files:
   • ball.png (a 32x32 pixel image of a ball)
   • bucket.png (a 32x32 pixel image of a bucket)
   • background.png (a 640x1136 pixel image of a background)
5. Create a new folder called "Scripts" and add the following files:
   • Ball.cs (a script for the ball game object)
   • Bucket.cs (a script for the bucket game object)
   • GameLogic.cs (a script for the game logic)
6. Create a new folder called "Resources" and add the following files:
   • sounds.json (a JSON file containing sound effects)
   • music.json (a JSON file containing music)

Step 2: Creating the Game Objects

1. Create a new 3D object by going to "GameObject" > "3D Object" > "Cube".
2. Name the object "Ball" and add the "Ball" script to it.
3. Create a new 3D object by going to "GameObject" > "3D Object" > "Cube".
4. Name the object "Bucket" and add the "Bucket" script to it.
5. Create a new 2D object by going to "GameObject" > "2D Object" > "Sprite".
6. Name the object "Background" and add the "Background" script to it.

Step 3: Writing the Scripts

1. Open the "Ball" script and add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;

public class Ball : MonoBehaviour { public float speed = 5.0f; public Vector3 direction = Vector3.up;

private void Update()
{
    transform.position += direction * speed * Time.deltaTime;
}

private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
    if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Bucket"))
    {
        // Sort the ball into the bucket
        Bucket bucket = collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Bucket>();
        bucket.SortBall(this);
    }
}

}

2. Open the "Bucket" script and add the following code:
```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class Bucket : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int capacity = 3;
    public List<Ball> balls = new List<Ball>();

    private void Update()
    {
        // Check if the bucket is full
        if (balls.Count >= capacity)
        {
            // Sort the balls in the bucket
            SortBalls();
        }
    }

    private void SortBalls()
    {
        // Sort the balls in the bucket using the bubble sort algorithm
        for (int i = 0; i < balls.Count; i++)
        {
            for (int j = i + 1; j < balls.Count; j++)
            {
                if (balls[i].color!= balls[j].color)
                {
                    // Swap the balls
                    Ball temp = balls[i];
                    balls[i] = balls[j];
                    balls[j] = temp;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public void SortBall(Ball ball)
    {
        // Add the ball to the bucket
        balls.Add(ball);
    }
}

1. Open the "GameLogic" script and add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;

public class GameLogic : MonoBehaviour { public int score = 0; public int level = 1;

private void Update()
{
    // Check if the player has completed the level
    if (level == 1 && score >= 10)
    {
        // Move to the next level
        level++;
        score = 0;
    }
}

public void AddScore(int points)
{
    // Add the points to the score
    score += points;
}

}

**Step 4: Setting up the UI**

            // Initialize Unity Ads
            UnityAds.Initialize();
        });
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        // Check if the player has completed the level
        if (level == 1 && score >= 10)
        {
            // Show a rewarded ad
            UnityAds.ShowRewardedAd();
        }
