How to close the gameplay of a game with Unity?
Creating a video game can seem like a monumental task, but with tools like Unity, the process becomes much more accessible. In this guide, we will explore how to end the 'gameplay loop' of a game, incorporating a splash screen and managing game states effectively. Let's learn together how to do it!
How to create a splash screen similar to Game Over?
To start the development of a splash screen in Unity, we can take advantage of the already created Game Over splash screen interface. Here is the step-by-step to achieve it:
-
Duplicate the Game Over screen: Within Unity, select the Game Over interface and duplicate it with
Ctrl-DorCmd-D. -
Modify the duplicated interface:
- Rename the duplicate to
UI Start Screen. - Set the screen color to white to differentiate it.
- Update the title with the name of your game, e.g. "Safari Match".
- Remove unnecessary elements such as the dots and one of the action buttons.
- Redefine the space between the game name and the start button to make it more balanced.
- Rename the duplicate to
-
Customize the visual elements:
- Change the title color to a friendlier shade, such as blue.
- Rename the "Play Again" button to
btnStartGameand modify its text to "Start".
-
Adjust components:
- Removes the Game Over component in the
Start Screen UI. - Change the visible state of
Game OvertoIdle.
- Removes the Game Over component in the
What scripts do we need for the Start Screen?
Interactivity is essential, and for the "Start" button to work properly, it is crucial to create a new script. Here's how to do it:
-
Create a new script in Unity:
- In the
scriptsfolder, generate a new script calledUI Start Screen.
- In the
-
Implement the start button function:
- Open the script and add the public function
start btnClicket, which will be executed when "Start" is clicked. - Inside this function, call the
Game Managerinstance and executeStartGame.
- Open the script and add the public function
-
Add the
StartGamefunction to the Game Manager:- Declares a new function
public void StartGamein theGame Managerscript. - Change the game state to
GameState.inGame. - Make sure the
currentTimeToMatchis set to zero. - This function should be similar to
RestartGame, but keep them separate for clarity and future flexibility.
- Declares a new function
How to test and close the game loop?
After making all the necessary configurations and settings, it is time to test the game to make sure it works as expected.
-
Configure click events:
- In Unity's
UI Start Screen, add theUI StartScreencomponent. - Associate the
StartGamebutton click event to callUI StartScreenand itsStartButton click itfunction.
- In Unity's
-
Test the game flow:
- Run the game to check that when pressing "Start", the game starts properly.
- Make sure that the logic allows you to make matches, accumulate points, and reach a Game Over that returns you to the initial screen.
- Perform tests to validate that the "ExitGame" button effectively returns to the start screen, confirming that the loop is closed.
Congratulations! You have now learned how to implement a start screen from scratch and close the game flow. Although video game development can be complex, each step is a significant advancement. Keep exploring and improving your skills, constant practice will take you far in this fascinating world of game development.
