Colliders: Triggers and Mesh Colliders

• Identify colliders by their appearance.
• Differentiate properties of colliders.
• Transform colliders.
• Colliders as trigger volumes.
• Assess the impact of forces on Rigidbodies.
• Goal scoring and custom meshes.

Colliders: Transforming Colliders

• Identify colliders by their appearance.
• Transform colliders.
• Spawning projectile into the cannon.
• Creating a moving target.
• Producing a composite collider.

Raycasts: Why do we need them?

• Describe the function of raycasts.
• What problems do raycasts solve?
• Adding colour and goal signaling.
• Adding ballistics to the cannon.
• Adding head movement.

Raycasts: Ballistics Aim

• Assess raycast trajectories.
• Raycasting to aim.

• Understanding layer masks in code.
• Using only the back board for aim.
• Destroying unused projectiles.

Physics Play Tweaking

• Play testing and tweaking our game.
• Adding multiple goals and adjusting fire speed.
• Adding a cross-hair and revising UI.
