Augmented Reality Game Development

Summary

This was an especially long chapter, but we covered a lot of material and essentially completed a mini-game within our game. First, we talked about scene management, with the loading and transitioning between scenes. A Game Manager was introduced in order to coordinate game activity. Then, we covered touch input, physics, and colliders as part of the player initiating an attempt to catch a monster. This was essential in transitioning us to create a new AR Catch scene. As part of our AR integration, we spent some time understanding how to integrate the device camera into the scene backdrop. We then added the ice ball to our scene and covered how to throw the ball using touch input and physics. After that, we spent some more time discussing ...
