📱 Starting Mobile Game Development

Jake, feeling inspired, decided to create a mobile game using his phone. He opened the Game Creator Mode on an app like Unity or Godot and started working.

📌 Game Concept:

💡 Game Name: Cyber Run 2077

🏃 Genre: Endless Runner

🌆 Setting: A futuristic cyberpunk city

🎮 Gameplay:

Players run across neon-lit streets, dodging obstacles.

Can collect upgrades like jetpacks, speed boosts, and time-freeze powers.

Enemies like cyborg police and hackers try to stop the player.

📜 Mobile Game Development Process

🖌️ Step 1: Designing the Characters & World

Jake used Pixel Art Creator to design a cyber ninja character with a glowing blue suit. He also created a city background with hover cars and neon billboards.

💻 Step 2: Coding the Endless Runner Mechanics

Jake wrote a simple script for the character movement in C# (Unity Engine):

using UnityEngine; public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour { public float speed = 10f; public float jumpForce = 15f; private Rigidbody2D rb; void Start() { rb = GetComponent(); } void Update() { transform.Translate(Vector2.right speed Time.deltaTime); if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) { rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpForce); } } }📌 What This Code Does:

✔ Moves the character forward automatically

✔ Allows the player to jump when pressing Space

🛑 Step 3: Adding Obstacles & Enemies

Jake coded a spawning system that randomly generates obstacles and enemies.

using UnityEngine; public class ObstacleSpawner : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject[] obstacles; public float spawnRate = 2f; void Start() { InvokeRepeating("SpawnObstacle", 1f, spawnRate); } void SpawnObstacle() { int index = Random.Range(0, obstacles.Length); Instantiate(obstacles[index], transform.position, Quaternion.identity); } }✔ Randomly spawns obstacles every 2 seconds.

✔ Keeps the game challenging and fun.

🎵 Step 4: Adding Music & Sound Effects

Jake downloaded sci-fi beats and electronic jump sounds to match the cyberpunk theme.
