Overview of this book

Unity 2020 brings a lot of new features that can be harnessed for building powerful games for popular mobile platforms. This updated second edition delves into Unity development, covering the new features of Unity, modern development practices, and augmented reality (AR) for creating an immersive mobile experience. The book takes a step-by-step approach to building an endless runner game using Unity to help you learn the concepts of mobile game development. This new edition also covers AR features and explains how to implement them using ARCore and ARKit with Unity. The book explores the new mobile notification package and helps you add notifications for your games. You’ll learn how to add touch gestures and design UI elements that can be used in both landscape and portrait modes at different resolutions. The book then covers the best ways to monetize your games using Unity Ads and in-app purchases before you learn how to integrate your game with various social networks. Next, using Unity’s analytics tools, you’ll enhance your game by gaining insights into how players like and use your game. Finally, you’ll take your games into the real world by implementing AR capabilities and publishing them on both Android and iOS app stores. By the end of this book, you will have learned Unity tools and techniques and be able to use them to build robust cross-platform mobile games.

Currently, our camera stays in the same spot while the game is going on. This does not work very well for this game, as the player will be moving while the game is going on. There are two main ways that we can move our camera. We can just move the camera and make it a child of the player, but that will not work due to the fact that the camera would have the same rotation as the ball, which would cause the camera to spin around constantly and likely cause dizziness and disorientation for the players. Due to that, we will likely want to use a script to move it instead. Thankfully, we can modify how our camera looks at things fairly easily, so let's go ahead and fix that next:

  1. Go to the Project window and create a new C# script called CameraBehaviour. From there, use the following code:
using UnityEngine;
