Words Master – Guess Words Game (Unity 3D + Admob)

Introduction

The Words Master - Guess Words Game is a popular word-based puzzle game where players have to guess a sequence of letters to form a word. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a basic version of this game using Unity 3D and Admob integration. This game will consist of a single screen where the player will have to guess a sequence of letters to form a word.

Prerequisites

• Unity 3D 2020.3.24f1 or later
• Android Studio or iOS SDK
• Admob account and setup

Tutorial: Creating the Words Master Game

Step 1: Creating the Project Structure

Create a new Unity project and name it "Words Master". Set up the project structure by creating the following folders:

Words Master
- Assets
  - Fonts
  - Images
  - Scripts
- Scenes
  - GameScene.unity
- Plugins
  - Admob

Step 2: Setting up the Game UI

Create a new UI canvas in the GameScene by going to GameObject > UI > Canvas. Set the canvas size to match the screen size.

Add a Text component to the canvas and name it "WordText". This will display the current word to be guessed. Add a Input Field component to the canvas and name it "InputField". This will be used for the player to input their guesses.

Step 3: Generating Words

Create a new C# script by going to Assets > Create > C# Script and name it "WordGenerator". Attach this script to an empty game object.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class WordGenerator : MonoBehaviour
{
    public List<string> wordList = new List<string>();
    public string currentWord;

    void Start()
    {
        // Generate a random word from the word list
        currentWord = wordList[Random.Range(0, wordList.Count)];
    }
}

Step 4: Game Logic

Create a new C# script by going to Assets > Create > C# Script and name it "GameManager". Attach this script to an empty game object.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public WordGenerator wordGenerator;
    public InputField inputField;
    public Text wordText;
    public GameObject nextLevelButton;

    string currentWord;
    bool isGameRunning = true;

    void Start()
    {
        // Start the game
        StartGame();
    }

    void StartGame()
    {
        // Reset the game state
        currentWord = wordGenerator.currentWord;
        inputField.text = "";
        wordText.text = "";
        nextLevelButton.SetActive(false);

        // Set up the UI
        inputField.onValueChanged.AddListener(GuessWord);
    }

    void GuessWord(string input)
    {
        // Check if the input is correct
        if (input == currentWord)
        {
            // Display a success message and disable the input field
            wordText.text = "Correct!";
            inputField.interactable = false;
        }
        else
        {
            // Display an error message
            wordText.text = "Incorrect. Try again!";
        }
    }

    void Update()
    {
        // Check if the game is still running
        if (isGameRunning)
        {
            // Update the word text
            wordText.text = currentWord;

            // Check if the player has guessed the word
            if (inputField.text == currentWord)
            {
                // Display a success message and disable the input field
                wordText.text = "Correct!";
                inputField.interactable = false;
            }
        }
    }
}

Step 5: Admob Integration

Add the Admob SDK to your project by following these steps:

1. Create a new folder called "Admob" in the "Plugins" folder.
2. Download the Admob SDK for Unity and extract it to the "Admob" folder.
3. Add the following code to the GameManager script:

   using Google-Mobile-Ads-Unity;

4. Create a new Admob ad banner by going to the Admob dashboard and following the instructions.
5. Add the ad banner to your scene by dragging and dropping the AdmobAd prefab from the "Assets/Plugins/Admob" folder.

Step 6: Testing and Publishing

Test your game on a device or simulator by building and running it on Android or iOS. You can also test the game on the Unity Editor by using the "Android" or "iOS" emulator.

Once you are satisfied with the game, you can publish it on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Conclusion

That's it! You have now created a basic version of the Words Master - Guess Words Game using Unity 3D and Admob integration. You can customize and extend this game by adding more features, levels, and game modes. Happy gaming!
