Flip Fork – (Unity – Admob)

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will be covering how to use the Flip Fork plugin to integrate AdMob ads into your Unity project. The Flip Fork plugin is a popular and widely-used solution for monetizing your Unity games and apps with AdMob ads. In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of setting up AdMob ads using the Flip Fork plugin in Unity.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• Unity installed on your computer
• The Flip Fork plugin installed in your Unity project
• A AdMob account created and set up
• A basic understanding of Unity and C# programming

Step 1: Setting up AdMob

To start, you need to set up your AdMob account and create a new ad unit. Here's how:

1. Go to the AdMob website and sign in with your Google account.
2. Click on the "Create an ad unit" button.
3. Select the type of ad you want to display (e.g. banner, interstitial, rewarded video).
4. Fill in the required information, such as ad unit name and ad placement.
5. Click on the "Create" button to create the ad unit.

Step 2: Adding the Flip Fork plugin to your Unity project

To add the Flip Fork plugin to your Unity project, follow these steps:

1. Open your Unity project and go to the "Window" menu.
2. Select "Package Manager" from the drop-down menu.
3. Click on the "+ Add package from git URL" button.
4. Enter the following URL: https://github.com/flip-fork/FlipFork.git
5. Click on the "Add" button to add the package to your project.

Step 3: Setting up AdMob in the Flip Fork plugin

Now that the Flip Fork plugin is installed, we need to set up AdMob in the plugin. Here's how:

1. Open the Flip Fork plugin by going to the "Window" menu and selecting "Flip Fork".
2. In the Flip Fork window, click on the "AdMob" tab.
3. Enter your AdMob app ID and ad unit ID in the respective fields.
4. Select the type of ad you want to display (e.g. banner, interstitial, rewarded video).
5. Click on the "Save" button to save the changes.

Step 4: Adding AdMob ads to your Unity scene

Now that AdMob is set up in the Flip Fork plugin, we need to add AdMob ads to our Unity scene. Here's how:

1. Create a new UI canvas in your Unity scene by going to the "GameObject" menu and selecting "UI" > "Canvas".
2. Drag and drop the AdMob banner ad prefab from the Flip Fork plugin onto the canvas.
3. Configure the ad prefab as needed (e.g. set the ad size, position, and rotation).
4. Repeat the process for any other types of ads you want to display (e.g. interstitial, rewarded video).

Step 5: Loading and displaying AdMob ads

Finally, we need to load and display AdMob ads in our Unity scene. Here's how:

1. Create a new C# script by going to the "Assets" menu and selecting "Create" > "C# Script".
2. Name the script (e.g. "AdMobManager").
3. Attach the script to a GameObject in your Unity scene.
4. In the script, use the Flip Fork plugin's AdMob API to load and display AdMob ads.

Here's an example of how to load and display a banner ad:

using FlipFork;
using UnityEngine;

public class AdMobManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    private AdMobBannerAd bannerAd;

    void Start()
    {
        // Load the banner ad
        bannerAd = AdMob.LoadBannerAd("your-ad-unit-id", AdMobBannerAdSize.BANNER);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        // Display the banner ad
        bannerAd.Show();
    }
}

Conclusion

That's it! You have now successfully set up AdMob ads using the Flip Fork plugin in your Unity project. Remember to replace "your-ad-unit-id" with your actual AdMob ad unit ID. With this tutorial, you should be able to monetize your Unity game or app with AdMob ads.
