What you'll learn

Ever wanted to make a 2D platformer but didn’t know how to tackle the physics? In this course, Unity 2D Physics Fundamentals, you will learn foundational knowledge of all things physics within a 2d platform. First, you will learn what makes objects solid and collide-able instead of transparent. Next, you will discover how to add gravity and mass to make objects movable. Finally, you will explore how to add scripts to edit the behavior. When you’re finished with this course, you will have a grounded knowledge of 2D physics that you can apply to more than just platformers. Software Required: Unity 2018.3.11f or above.
