Lesson 7: Building Our First Game, Downloadable Version

Lesson 7 pulls together what we have learned so far and guides us through making our own game. We build the game world, the player, powerups, spawning points, and the game control.

We wrap up by learning how to build and run our game outside of the Unity editor.
