GADV 03 - Scripting

What is the game loop?

• A for loop, while loop, or do while loop.

• The sequence of processes that run from the start to the end of a game.

• A sequence of processes that run continuously as long as the game is running

• A cycle of actions that you repeat over and over within a game.

What are the three main high-level game loop processes?

• Play, Process, Win/Lose

• Input, Process, Output

• Input, Update, Render

• Play, Update, Render

Which programming language is used for Unity scripting?

• Java

• C#

• None. Unity uses components.

• JavaScript

What is a Unity component

• A C# class that is part of the Unity API

• A resusable C# script that defines some specific functionality

• A C# script that implements a specific part of the functionality of a game

• A C# script that implements a specific part of a GameObject's functionality

This script cannot be used as a GameObject component -- why not?

• It does not subclass MonoBehaviour

• It is not a part of the Unity API

• It does not implement all the MonoBehaviour lifecycle methods

• It has not been added to any GameObject yet

Which of these is a MonoBehaviour method inherited by its subclasses?

• FixedUpdate()

• LastUpdate()

• FinalUpdate()

• UpdateGUI()

What is the role of the Rigidbody component?

• To make a GameObject shatter when a force is applied

• To add physics to a GameObject.

• To make a GameObject fall under gravity

• To make a GameObject behave like an object in the real world

Which of these is an advantage of component-based software design?

• Separation of bugs

• Ease of Implementation

• Modularity

• Replayability

What is the advantage of Modularity in component-based development?

• It is easier to add, remove, or replace functional units in a game object

• It is easier to isolate and fix any errors because each component is self-contained

• It is easier to separate the concerns of each component

• It is easier to assign specific functionality to a game object

Is it time to go home now?

• What home? :(

• Yes, you have learned enough for one day

• If not, I'll scream

• Yes, you are all defeated!
