During the last tutorial with Chris, we had narrowed down my way forward to two steps.

1. Continue with Adobe Animate even with the slow frame rate and lagging gameplay.

2. Change the program i am using and move to unity. However, be careful as unity has a larger learning curve.

   • However, I would spend a few days max learning and research about the software, and if it takes too long go back to adobe animate and continue building the game.

On the Unity website, I found the section for detailed tutorials with easy to follow videos. They also include game files that you could follow to build the simple game.

I started by Placing a 2d GameObject Circle and adding a player movement script. To add physics to unity i rigidbody compenet needs to be added

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Player : MonoBehaviour {

    public float speed;

    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    private Vector2 moveVelocity;

    void Start(){

        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

    }

    void Update()
    {
        Vector2 moveInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
        moveVelocity = moveInput.normalized * speed; 
    }
void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.MovePosition(rb.position + moveVelocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);  
    }
}

When the circle was moving i added a script to the camera to follow the plater, instead of making the Circle GameObject a child of the Camera to add smoother movement and using a script is better.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform followObject;
    private Vector3 moveTemp;
    public float offsetY = 0;
    public float offsetX = 0;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        moveTemp = followObject.transform.position;    
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        moveTemp = followObject.transform.position;
        moveTemp.y += offsetY;
        moveTemp.x += offsetX;
        moveTemp.z = transform.position.z;
        transform.position = moveTemp;

    }
}
