🖱️ Project 1: Clicker Game – Your First Fully Playable Game

This is it — your first finished game in Unity.
Simple? Yes.
Playable? Absolutely.
Fun to watch your friends obsessively click for 30 minutes straight? Oh yeah. 😏

Let’s assemble everything we’ve built so far into one complete project.

🧩 What You’ll Use

• Canvas with TextMeshPro UI
• Button to count clicks
• C# script for logic
• AudioSource for satisfying click feedback
• Dynamic updates (visuals + code)

✅ Final Checklist for Your Clicker Game

🎨 UI

• Canvas set to Screen Space – Overlay with scale mode = Scale with Screen Size
• ClickButton with TextMeshPro label
• ClickCountText to show the current click total

---

🧠 Script

Your ClickCounter.cs should look something like this:

using TMPro;
using UnityEngine;

public class ClickCounter : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int clickCount = 0;
    public TextMeshProUGUI clickText;
    public AudioSource clickSound;

    public void CountClick()
    {
        clickCount++;

        if (clickSound != null)
            clickSound.Play();

        if (clickCount >= 10)
        {
            clickText.color = Color.yellow;
            clickText.fontSize = 60;
        }

        clickText.text = "Clicks: " + clickCount;
    }
}

🔗 Button Setup

• On ClickButton, assign ClickCounter → CountClick() in the OnClick() section
• Link your ClickCountText object to the script’s public field
• Drag the AudioSource GameObject into the clickSound field

---

🧪 Optional Polish

• Add button press animations (e.g. LeanTween)
• Show a confetti burst after 50 clicks
• Play a different sound when reaching a milestone
• Add a reset or upgrade button to extend functionality

🧠 Recap

By completing this project, you’ve learned how to:

✅ Set up a working UI
✅ Write real C# game logic
✅ Handle user input
✅ Update visuals and audio in real time
✅ Combine Unity components into a complete mini-game

You’ve officially published your first Unity game to yourself. Not bad.
