Chapter 1: Creating a Die Roller
Adventure Quest is an adventure game that will take inspiration from table top role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Swords & Sorcery, and Fate Core. In these games, randomness is often accomplished by rolling one or more dice. Adventure Quest will model its randomness in the same way!
That said, we’re not talking about traditional 6 sided die. No, no, no! These games bring out giant sacks of dice with varying sizes and combinations.
In this part, you will create a Die Roller Scene in Unity that allows the user to simulate rolling multi-sided dice.
When you’re finished, you will have a project that looks and acts similar to the demo below:
1.1: Modeling a Die
In this chapter, you will have written a Die class which models a multi-sided die that can be rolled. Additionally, you will learn how to use the Unity Test Framework to test the Die class, giving you confidence that it works as expected.
1.2: Creating a Die Roller Scene
In this chapter, you will create a Scene with a button that connects to an instance of the Die class. When the button is clicked, the Die is rolled and the result is reported to the console.
1.3: Adding an OnRoll Event
In this chapter, you will learn how to add UnityEvents to your scripts which allow you to update elements on the screen when a Die is rolled.
1.4: Die Button Prefab
In this chapter, you learn how to create a Prefab for a Die Button to manage the complexity of adding new buttons and updating existing buttons throughout your project.
