Honey Thief Game | Unity Casual Project for android and iOS

Introduction

Welcome to the Honey Thief Game Tutorial! In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a casual game for Android and iOS using Unity. The Honey Thief Game is a simple yet engaging game where players must navigate a character to collect honey from beehives while avoiding obstacles. This tutorial is perfect for beginners who want to learn the basics of Unity and game development.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• Unity Hub installed on your computer
• Unity Editor version 2019.4 or later
• Android and iOS development settings enabled in Unity
• A basic understanding of Unity and C# programming

Step 1: Setting up the Project

1. Open Unity Hub and create a new project.
2. Choose "3D" as the game type and "Universal" as the target platform.
3. Name your project "Honey Thief Game" and choose a location to save it.
4. Click "Create" to create the project.

Step 2: Creating the Game Scene

1. In the Unity Editor, go to "File" > "New Scene" and name the scene "MainScene".
2. In the Hierarchy panel, right-click and select "3D Object" > "Cube" to create a new cube.
3. Rename the cube to "Player" and set its position to (0, 0, 0).
4. Create a new cube and rename it to "Hive". Set its position to (5, 0, 0).
5. Create a new plane and rename it to "Ground". Set its position to (0, 0, 0).

Step 3: Adding the Player Movement

1. In the Inspector panel, select the "Player" cube and add a "Rigidbody" component.
2. Add a "Character Controller" component and set its "Height" to 1.
3. Create a new script and name it "PlayerMovement". Attach it to the "Player" cube.
4. In the "PlayerMovement" script, add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour { public float speed = 5.0f;

private Rigidbody rb;

void Start()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

void Update()
{
    float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    Vector3 movement = new Vector3(horizontalInput, 0, verticalInput);

    rb.AddForce(movement * speed);
}

}

5. Save the script and go back to the Unity Editor.

**Step 4: Adding the Hive Movement**

1. In the Inspector panel, select the "Hive" cube and add a "Rigidbody" component.
2. Add a "Character Controller" component and set its "Height" to 1.
3. Create a new script and name it "HiveMovement". Attach it to the "Hive" cube.
4. In the "HiveMovement" script, add the following code:
```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class HiveMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 1.0f;

    private Rigidbody rb;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        float randomX = Random.Range(-1, 1);
        float randomZ = Random.Range(-1, 1);

        Vector3 movement = new Vector3(randomX, 0, randomZ);

        rb.AddForce(movement * speed);
    }
}

1. Save the script and go back to the Unity Editor.

Step 5: Adding the Honey Collection

1. Create a new cube and rename it to "Honey". Set its position to (5, 1, 0).
2. Add a "BoxCollider" component to the "Honey" cube.
3. Create a new script and name it "HoneyCollector". Attach it to the "Player" cube.
4. In the "HoneyCollector" script, add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;

public class HoneyCollector : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject honey;

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (other.gameObject == honey)
    {
        Debug.Log("Honey collected!");
    }
}

}

5. Save the script and go back to the Unity Editor.

**Step 6: Adding the Obstacles**

1. Create a new cube and rename it to "Obstacle". Set its position to (2, 0, 0).
2. Add a "BoxCollider" component to the "Obstacle" cube.
3. Create a new script and name it "ObstacleMovement". Attach it to the "Obstacle" cube.
4. In the "ObstacleMovement" script, add the following code:
```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class ObstacleMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 2.0f;

    private Rigidbody rb;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        float randomX = Random.Range(-1, 1);
        float randomZ = Random.Range(-1, 1);

        Vector3 movement = new Vector3(randomX, 0, randomZ);

        rb.AddForce(movement * speed);
    }
}

1. Save the script and go back to the Unity Editor.

Step 7: Adding the UI

1. Create a new UI canvas and name it "MainCanvas".
2. Create a new UI button and name it "StartButton". Set its position to (0, 0, 0).
3. Create a new UI text and name it "ScoreText". Set its position to (0, 0, 0).
4. Create a new UI image and name it "HoneyImage". Set its position to (0, 0, 0).
5. In the Inspector panel, select the "MainCanvas" and set its "Render Mode" to "Screen Space - Overlay".

Step 8: Adding the Game Logic

1. Create a new script and name it "GameLogic". Attach it to the "MainCanvas".
2. In the "GameLogic" script, add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;
   using UnityEngine.UI;

public class GameLogic : MonoBehaviour { public Text scoreText; public Image honeyImage;

private int score = 0;
private bool isGameRunning = false;

void Start()
{
    isGameRunning = true;
}

void Update()
{
    if (isGameRunning)
    {
        score++;
        scoreText.text = "Score: " + score.ToString();

        if (score >= 10)
        {
            honeyImage.enabled = true;
        }
    }
}

public void StartGame()
{
    isGameRunning = true;
}

public void StopGame()
{
    isGameRunning = false;
}

}

5. Save the script and go back to the Unity Editor.

**Step 9: Building and Running the Game**

1. Go to "File" > "Build Settings" and select "Android" or "iOS" as the target platform.
2. Make sure the "AutoRun" option is enabled.
3. Click "Build" to build the game.
4. Run the game on your device or emulator.
