GID 1 Unity Project

GID 1 Unity Platformer Microgame Project

This was the first completed game design project that students in GID 1 worked on using Unity Game Engine Platform. This Microgame helped them in getting familiar with the Unity Interface and grow confidence in building future games from scratch. They were able to complete the beginner friendly tutorial series in Unity and make changes in th UI/UX design of the Game to make it their own. They tried to focus on the User Experience of the player to ensure that the gameplay gets more interesting and engaging! Go ahead, play it out!

Career Technical Education (CTE) is a program of study that involves a multiyear sequence of courses that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students a pathway to postsecondary education and careers. The CTE program at TIDE Academy focuses on in-demand occupations across a variety of career pathways.  
 
Our CTE classes at TIDE Academy are also dual-enrolled with Foothill College, allowing students to earn college credits while also earning high school credits for the same course. Taking dual enrolled courses prepares students for the transition to college by earning college credit in high school, and helps students jump ahead in their postsecondary education. Dual enrollment courses are taught in partnership with Foothill College. 
 
TIDE Academy prepares students for STEAM careers through Computer Science or Business Marketing pathways. Two of two highly in-demand industry sectors of California's 15 Career Technical Education industry sectors.

Write a program to run through the course. You should set your Shpero Bolt down at the starting line and when you run your program your robot needs to figure out what direction is North (using the compass) and all instructions should be based on that collaboration.
 
RULES
  • Your robot must start behind the starting line
  • Your robot must go past the finish line
  • Your robot must not go outside the tape between the start and finish line (on the tape is okay)
  • Your program should be autonomous once your robot has been placed at the starting line 
  • Run your program
    • Use the compass to calibrate the direction
    • Use as many commands as you need to complete the course
  • Test your program, fix and re-run your program
