my name is Mark for years I wanted to make my very own video games using software like Unity Unity is the powerful game engine behind titles like cuphead neon white tunic outer Wilds Hearthstone fire watch and even the Pokemon Diamond remake but I've always found that lengthy multi-part Meandering tutorials just send me to sleep I can't learn by watching someone else I have to get Hands-On and figure things out myself and so last year I developed a solution that actually works it's a three-step technique where you as you go and the software experiment all that first line of programming code to building sound good then let's get started okay let's start by getting Unity from the website download and install the unity hub and then you'll need to make a free account to actually use it once that's done you'll be asked to install the unity editor I'm using version 2021.3 for this tutorial if you're watching a million years in the future and wondering why things are different let's pretend that fast internet we're not quite done yet under installs hit the Cog icon on the unity together thank you thank you the editor and pick modules you'll see that Microsoft Visual Studio has been ticked this is the software we'll use to write programming code so hit continue and install Visual Studio just gotta wait what's the download so on this screen scroll down and tick gain development with unity and other modules you'll see that Microsoft Visual Studio has been ticked this is the software we'll use to write programming code also hit continue and install Visual Studio on this screen scroll down and tick game development with unity and untick unity Hub because we already have it we don't need to make an account to use visual studio so skip that and don't bother loading it we'll open it later okay that's all done now so in unity Hub pick new project to foreign okay should we do all the way be as old as you feel and I gotta tell you I I'm feeling octogenarian recently the biggest content online undoubtedly has been like Tick Tock style content like short bite-sized pieces of either Trends challenges or goofy Dances all of which I'm not really a fan of and I don't really understand nowadays a lot of headlines leave me scratching my head trying to even decipher if what I even read was English or even a human language to begin with I swear to God there's just like a new thing every day that I just it goes right over my head and makes no sense to me like did you squeeze today turns out 9 out of ten Millennials don't even know how to glorb don't be a a lameo malamo I understand but all the other words in there that sounds like out of a [ __ ] Rick and Morty sketch like I don't get it so like I have to like research things that are popular these days in order to like not feel completely left out in the dark I'm actually starting to feel what it was like to be a parent during the rise of the internet and your kids like telling you you know trendy things going on online such as like 4chan with pools closed due to AIDS and you don't know what the [ __ ] they're talking about like what's Habbo Hotel what's going on that I'm reaching that point but long-winded explanation to to come to what I actually want to talk about today there was others watching voice critical a few days ago with skippity toilet that made no sense to me that I that I didn't know what that was it sounded like some kind of like bootleg toilet or something but apparently it was a cute or is a huge YouTube Trend a huge branch of YouTube content so I looked into it and it's a series of Gmod [ __ ] posts that are getting like 20 minutes a day per video the channel the [ __ ] boom is a classic like Gmod [ __ ] poster and over the last I'm glad to hear you so much hold on let me find their real quick let's see if I could find it oh man I can't find it uh I can't remember what it's called uh yeah I should have subscribed to it month he has gained over 2.9 billion views over 7.2 million subs and every month now for the last couple months is getting at least 2 billion views he is blowing up all because of skibety toilet and that that's the gift that keeps on giving because everyone's suckling from that milky bosom of skippity toilet because anyone that's even making content around skibety toilet such as like here's what you didn't understand about skippity toilet number 33 hidden moments of skibidity toilet number 41. is this the end of skibety toilet cameraman in episode 42 like all the kinds of like speculative like Game Theory skibety toilet videos are also getting tens of millions of views every day it this is probably the biggest branch of content I've seen since Minecraft first blew up and maybe even bigger than Roblox like it's crazy how huge skippity toilet is it's got the Midas touch if you just put that in your title you're guaranteed success so I went over it a little bit more on stream for anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about but I imagine most of you heard it by now it is Big with children it's content that is primarily being consumed by the younger generation which is why a lot of people you know around our age here in the retirement home haven't heard of skippity toilet but I want to put it on on the front of your radar because For the first time in a long time this is popular content geared towards younger viewers that I actually feel isn't dog [ __ ] whereas most of them I think is just actual trash this one I think is pretty entertaining still didn't watch the latest skibidi toilet I can't wait that's just wild that that's a symptoms I comprehend now I was completely oblivious to this and this is one of like the biggest phenomenons I've ever seen on YouTube so I I really wanted to talk about this because I think it was two days ago I saw a post on Twitter saying I bet if you're over the age of 16 you've never even heard of this it was skippity toilet and I thought it was one of those memes where it's like oh you're so old you probably don't even know what baby Gronk raises up living done becoming the new drip King even memes these words don't have meaning to you I bet and I thought it was just gonna be fake but no it turns out this skippity toilet thing is unbelievably massive like super huge look at these views 21 hours ago 14 million and what's crazy is I recognize this channel from a long time ago they struck gold with skippity toilet every episode well over 20 million views pretty much like it's unreal and it's it's the gift that gives to the whole Community like you got the whole Middle School lunch table spitting nose spitting milk out of their nose with it so all of these YouTube shorts are like digging into the lore so they're like it's actually the deepest lore ever this is on par with you know some of tolkien's best work I've never seen such a such a lexicon of of knowledge here Cornucopia of little hidden Easter eggs like it's it's mind-boggling how big this is like they're putting it on the same level of like Game of Thrones or rather A Song of Fire and Ice I suppose like when it comes to lore horror so I got deep into this skippity toilet rabbit hole it's it's so like I'm actually happy that this is what's popular though I don't want to make it seem like I'm [ __ ] on it because this is actually reminiscent of what a lot of us in early YouTube grew up with as well someone made a great point on Twitter that no matter how much the internet changes no matter how much Humanity evolves somehow there's something embedded deep in our DNA that has us gravitate towards Gmod content Just Like Old YouTube hoops this is just like old Gmod [ __ ] posts and it's huge all the same so I am actually like this was the first time in a long time where I've been happy that something that I was completely oblivious oblivious to that's big with children I think is actually good content like skibety toilet I think is fine like it is very reminiscent of like old YouTube YouTube poop culture and all that so it's cool it's like getting back to the Grassroots the world is resetting maybe maybe finally the internet's beginning to heal because again like look at this like just scrolling down a second skippity toilet 48 secrets and there's like a thousand of these videos like anything that even has skippity toilet in it is a actual glitch in the YouTube ecosystem that guarantees you at least a million views anything skibety toilet it's a cheat code right now like look at this skippity toilet origin story like it they have been blessed with skibety toilet what the [ __ ] is this play one of the videos I don't know if I can I think it's copyrighted music but it uses basically that old viral tick tock song the the thank you thank you guys foreign [Music] foreign all right he said that's why you watched you know what I'm a sin let me send this no no no no no no no no no no no I can't [ __ ] it's like this generation's [ __ ] crazy frog fine I'll play it real quick uh let me do like one of the first ones probably this one would be the best one so this it uses that and then it does like a bunch of wacky things and it evolves and grew into like a giant [ __ ] war between skivity toilet the cameraman Mr ass blast or some [ __ ] I don't know it's got like layers to the narrative now all stemming from that it's literally old Gmod [ __ ] post content but blowing up in 2023. 2023 years after the death of our Lord and we are still still appreciating Gmod content I just find that to be poetic and wholesome almost our species peaked with good [ __ ] post-wide move from that we did we for a while we were straying from the light of God with like Tick Tock garbage content like dumb challenges and dumb dances but now skibidi toilets the new hotness we're back I'll be honest I think we're starting to get back to the Back to Where it All Began we've got skibety toilet which is [ __ ] huge Gmod [ __ ] post Classics and now we had that that guy narrowing his butthole like bare [ __ ] [ __ ] 30 million views on that we're we're coming back like a flip has switched somewhere it's a I'm using version 2021.3 for this tutorial if you're watching a million years in the future and wondering why things are different let's pretend I have fast internet we're not quite done yet under installs hit the Cog icon on the unity editor and pick modules you'll see that Microsoft Visual Studio has been ticked this is the software we'll use to write programming code so hit continue and install Visual Studio on this screen scroll down and tick game development with unity and untick unity Hub because we already have it we don't need to make an account to use visual studio so skip that and don't bother loading it we'll open it later okay that's all done now so in unity Hub pick new project choose all templates and use 2D cup we don't need to make an account to use visual studio so skip that and don't bother loading it we'll open it later okay that's all done now so in unity Hub pick new project choose all templates and use 2D core this is an empty project with a few configurations to make it suitable for 2D games give your project a name hit create and let's get game making in step one we're going to become familiar with the default Unity user interface and as we explore the different panels we'll make the bird appear overloading it we'll open it later okay that's all done now so in unity Hub pick new project choose all templates and use 2D core this is an empty project with a few configurations to make it suitable for 2D games give your project a name hit create and let's get game making in step one we're going to become familiar with the default Unity user interface and as we explore the different panels we'll make the bird appear on screen right so this is the default screen layout for Unity and is split into four panels first of all down here is the project panel this will contain everything that is in our game like Sprites sound effects scripts tiles fonts and so on some of this stuff will be made in unity as we go along but we can also just drag and drop files from Elsewhere on our computer like I've made some Sprites for the bird and the pipe in Photoshop and I'm going to import them into my project like so I'd recommend you make your own nuts always more fun but if you have zero artistic ability then check the description for these assets the next panel is the hierarchy this contains all of the stuff that's in the current scene which in most games will be a level we're going to start by making the bird so right click and choose create empty this has made an empty game object so what's that well a game object is essentially an invisible container it has a position in space a rotation and a scale then you can fill that container with components to add extra features for example if we add a Sprite renderer component we can slap the bird image onto the game object absolutely everything in our level will be a game object with components the bird the pipes even the user interface and the camera all of this magic happens in foreign foreign so I want to buy a GPU let's say a GTX 1660. how is this the top page of results on newegg.com I mean seriously who is Sir honya middle C 51 risk kinology I haven't even heard of half of these Brands and Amazon is flooded with them too I mean the prices look great we're talking as much as 40 off of a recognized brand and they're still shipped by Newegg but the last time I checked Nvidia isn't selling gpus at a discount so what are they refurbished crypto gpus are they outright scams like we've covered in the past where the company pops up defrauds a bunch of customers then vanishes only to appear again under a new equally random name in either case with such prominent placement on reputable websites Shoppers could easily be enticed by the savings and choose one of these over a more established brand which hello might not be such a bad thing unless it's a scam I was determined to get to the bottom of this so I tasked our Labs team with buying and testing as many of these Rando gpus as they were comfortable with and what they discovered well let's just say the answers aren't as straightforward as this segue to our sponsor build Redux they'll put together and ship your customized fully decked out all for me to react to the packaging here but some of these are too funny to ignore this one is upside down if you turn it around this is just a low resolution ripoff of nvidia's old Founders Edition packaging along those same lines chronology's artwork is original but these talking points are absolute dips and use code LTT absolutely ancient 3D Vision this GPU doesn't support SLI and in spite of Elsa being one of the two Brands I do recognize here this isn't exactly confidence inspiring I have so many questions right now but one thing we know for sure is that based on the featured status of these gpus they must be as profitable for Newegg as selling a more expensive card from a premier brand but how could that be well here's the thing shipped by Newegg is it the same thing as sold by Newegg like many other online retailers these days newegg.com is actually a marketplace now that allows other businesses to sell items through platform Newegg collects and distributes payments manages Communications between buyers and sellers and perhaps most importantly trades on their position as a known entity effectively lending their credibility to little sellers that you've never heard of some marketplaces also offer warehousing shipping and even customer support so that sellers don't need to maintain their own facilities or staff the fees that these marketplaces charge for these Services quickly add up to more than the profit that they would earn by selling the same product themselves want proof look no further than our sample search wow we're literally three of the more than 150 results are actually sold by Newegg themselves and I'm not counting this same card but with a game bundle stop you don't want to miss today's deals on lttstore.com we've got the swacet for just 39. now obviously Newegg still wants to move their own stock out of the warehouse before it gets too old so those three listings do appear toward the start of the results but this is nothing like the old days when they would stock loads of gpus from all the major manufacturers to ensure a consistent customer experience in total then we ordered eight cards from these unfamiliar Brands as usual we're gonna have them Linked In the video description below but I would watch the rest of the video before you run out and buy them you see in spite of our search being GTX 1660. we ended up with only one of those since Newegg mostly returned results for 1660 supers and also this low profile 1650. so we picked that up as well just to see what was going on with that of these cards most of them arrived as quickly as you would expect with the exception being this 1660 super from Elsa that took so long to arrive that we actually opened a support case looking for a refund it did get here but not in time time for the full test Gauntlet since it was actually only a few hours ago that might not matter though as it turns out more on that later our first stage was the physical inspection the labs team checked the cards over for signs of wear with special attention paid to the pcie connectors and bearings and the thermal pads along with a quick evaluation of other factors like heatsink design and overall cleanliness based on that physical examination we found that there were only three cards here that we can confidently say are new those are the 1660 supers from Justin and nilsi along with our 1650 from sergonia these all show no signs of previous use they have good strong fan bearings and nice new thermal packs the 1660 supers both included warranty cards and the 1650 even had a surprisingly good installation manual in the box now I had a quick look at the Elsa before we started filming and I didn't see any obvious signs of wear but it wasn't looked over by the labs team so take that for what it is as for the rest of them it turns out that none of these are quite what they claim to be first off we've got the canology 1660 super that appears to be a totally different design from the corn brand one that we ordered though we did spot the same canology stickers on the corn product page make of that what you will but it doesn't matter because the labs believes that this card may have been refurbished due to wear on the pcie pins oily residue from the thermal pads and what seems to be some uneven wear in the fan bearings next we've got a pair of cards from managui a base model 1660 and a 1660 super the base 1660 in particular has some concerning indicators this sticker here above the pcie connector for example is yellowed and starting to fade compared to the other sticker that's on the back of the card there's also wear to the pcie pins and most importantly it looks exactly like the icafe GTX 1660 from colorful a brand that I have heard of before except they've what maybe pulled off the back plate and put new stickers on the fans managui's second attempt isn't much better either this 1660 super shows similar signs of wear and second this looks exactly like the Elsa these two cards are completely identical even down to the positioning of the QC sticker on the back of the cards they're even stamped for the same month these may have come out of the exact same batch and even more incriminating both of them happen to look an awful lot like a Galaxy GTX 1660 super that we found over on tech power up though with a much lower cost heatsink design Under The Identical plastic shroud last up we've got this 1660 super from 51 risk it too shows signs of light wear but 51 risk unlike the others actually acknowledges this with a note about it in their manual stating that the where on the card is due to their extensive testing processes seems a little sus especially given that the cooling setup is almost identical to the base model Nan and Dewey 1660 that we looked at a moment ago just with different coloring on the Shroud or rather a so I'm willing to bet the like the managui colorful is the actual manufacturer of this card in summary then three of our eight in step one we're going to become familiar with the default Unity user interface and as we explore the different panels we'll make the bird appear on screen right so this is the default screen layout for Unity and it's split into four panels first of all down here is the project panel this will contain everything that is in our game like Sprites sound effects scripts tiles fonts and so on some of this stuff will be made in unity as we go along but we can also just drag and drop files from Elsewhere on our computer like I've made some Sprites for the bird and the pipe in Photoshop and I'm going to import them into my project like so I'd recommend you make your own but it's always more fun but if you have zero artistic ability then check the description for these assets the next panel is the height [Music] foreign foreign this contains all of the stuff that's in the current C which in most games will be a level we're going to start by making the bird so right click and choose create empty this has made an empty game object so what's that well a game object is essentially an invisible container it has a position in space a rotation and a scale then you can fill that container with components to add extra features for example if we add a Sprite renderer component we can slap the bird image onto the game object absolutely everything in our level will be a game object with components the bird the pipes even the user interface and the camera all of this magic happens in the third panel the inspector which is for messing with game objects so once we've selected our new empty game object we can put a name in the top field let's call it bird and we can see and change the game object's position to we can slap the bird image onto the game object absolutely everything in our level will be a game object with components the bird the pipes even the user interface and the camera all of this magic happens in the third panel the inspector which is for messing with game objects so once we've selected our new empty game object we can put a name in the top field let's call it bird and we can see and change the game object's position rotation in the top Specter which is for messing with game objects so it happens in the third panel the inspector which is for messing with game objects so once we've selected our new empty game object we can put a name in the top field let's call it bird and we can see and change the game object's position rotation and scale under transform we can now press add component pick rendering and pick Sprite renderer to make this work we need to fill in the Sprite field so just drag the bird image from the project panel into the field and voila we have Graphics that will of course show up in the fourth and final panel the scene view here we can see what's in our current scene and if you want you can use these tools to move stuff around scale it and so on this section has an extra tab for game view which shows us what the game will look like from the main camera when it's running also from this drop down we can set a resolution or aspect ratio to get a better idea of what it will look like when played so I'm going to choose 1920x1080. the bed takes up way too much space we could scale it down but let's actually just zoom right field so just drag the bird image from the project panel into the field and voila we have Graphics that will of course show up in the fourth and final panel the scene view here we can see what's in our current scene and if you want you can use these tools to move stuff around scale it and so on this section has an extra tab for game view which shows us what the game will look like from the main camera when it's running also from this drop down we can set a resolution or aspect ratio to get a better idea of what it will look like when played so I'm going to choose 1920 by 1080. the bird takes up to move stuff around scale it and just to move stuff around scale it and sell one this section has an extra tab for game view which shows us what the game will look like from the main camera when it's running also from this drop down we can set a resolution or aspect ratio to get a better idea of what it will look like when played so I'm going to choose 1920x1080. the bird takes up way too much space we could scale it down but let's actually just zoom out the camera like I said before the camera itself is a game object in the hierarchy and it has a camera component with stats we can mess with by changing the size we can zoom out also going to change the background color also from this drop down we can set a resolution or aspect ratio to get a better idea of what it will look like when played so I'm going to choose 1920x1080. the bird takes up way too much space we could scale it down but let's actually just zoom out the camera like I said before the camera itself is a game object in the hierarchy and it has a camera component with stance we can mess with by changing the size we can zoom out also going to change the background color lovely we can now press the play button up just we could scale it down but let's actually just zoom out the camera like I said before the camera itself is a game object in the hierarchy and it has a camera component with stats we can mess with by changing the size we can zoom out I'm also going to change the background color lovely we can now press the play button up here to start in the hierarchy and it has a camera component with stats we can mess with by changing the size we can zoom out I'm also going to change the background color lovely we can now press the play button up here and start the world's most boring game okay let's make it a bit more exciting recap Unity has four panels by default project holds all the stuff in our game hierarchy lists all the game objects in the current level inspector lets us see and change those game objects and we can see the level in the C and a game object is an invisible container that we can fill with components like the Sprite renderer in step two we're going to use more components to make the bird into a physics object that is affected by gravity and then we're going to write some programming code to make the bird fly up when we press the spacebar so let's add another component to our bird a rigid body 2D this turns on bird into a physics object with in step two we're going to use more components to make the bird into a physics object that is affected by gravity and then we're going to write some programming code to make the bird fly up when we press the space bar so let's add another component to our bird a rigid body 2D this turns our bird into a physics object with gravity so when we hit play the bird drops and falls off the screen cool we'll also want this bird to be able to interact with other objects so let's add a collider a circle collider 2D back in scene view we can see the collider as a green outline it's a bit off-center for me so are you so let's add a collider a circle glider 2D back in scene view we can see the collider into a physics object with gravity so when we hit play the bird drops and falls off the screen cool we'll also want this bird to be able to interact with other objects so let's add a collider a circle glider 2D back in scene view we can see the collider as a green outline it's a bit off-center for me so I'll use the offset to move it and a little game design trick if we make the collider a bit smaller than the image it will let the player get through the pipes even if they just touch the edge it gives the game a bit of leniency and makes it feel more fair final thing to add right now a script this essentially lets us make our own script so let's add a collider a circle collider 2D back in scene view we can see the collider as a green outline it's a bit off-center for me so I'll use the offset to move it and a little game design trick if we make the collider a bit smaller than the image it will let the player get through the pipes even if they just touched the edge it gives the game a bit of leniency and makes it feel more fair the final thing to add right now or May so ought to be able to interact with other objects so let's add a collider a circle collider 2D back in scene view we can see the collider as a green outline it's a bit off-center for me so I'll use the offset to move it and a little game design trick if we make the collider a bit smaller than the image it will let the player get through the pipes even if they just touched the edge it gives the game a bit of leniency and makes it feel more fair the final thing to add right now a script this essentially lets us make our own custom component but we'll have to write it ourselves using programming code choose new script from the components list and call it bird script once it's loaded double-click the script field to open it up which we installed earlier so welcome to to touch the edge it gives the game a bit of leniency and makes it feel more fair the final thing to add right now is a script this essentially lets us make our own custom component but we'll have to write it ourselves using programming code choose new script from the components list and call it bird script once it's loaded double-click the script field to open it up this will open the file in Visual Studio which we installed earlier so welcome to programming it's not too scary promise we'll take it slow we're writing in C sharp that's the programming language and the the final thing to add right now a script this essentially lets us make our own custom component but we'll have to write it ourselves using programming code choose new script from the components list and call it bird script once it's loaded double-click the script field to open it up this will open the file in Visual Studio which we installed earlier so welcome to programming it's not too scary promise we'll take it slow we're writing in C sharp that's the programming language and the only thing to worry about right now is these two chunks here start and update start is for any code that will run as soon as the script is enabled and it runs precisely once update runs constantly while the script is enabled and it will fire off every line of code every single frame over and over and over again so the main thing we're going to be doing with code right now is bonus list and call it bird script once it's loaded double-click the script field to open it up this will open the file in Visual Studio which we installed earlier so welcome to programming it's not too scary promise we'll take it slow we're writing in C sharp that's the programming language and the only thing to worry about right now is these two chunks here start and update start is for any code that will run as soon as the script is enabled and it runs precisely once update runs constantly while the script is enabled and it will fire off every line of code every single frame over and over and over again so the main thing we're going to be doing with code right now is well if we go back to Unity see these numbers and text fields in the components and how we can change them in the unity editor we're just going to write code to change the stats while the game is running just as a dumb example and we'll delete this in a second in start we can type game object that refers to this bit up here and then a DOT you'll see a list up here and many of the items refer to stuff back in the inspector like is static tag layer and name so let's pick name then write an equal sign and in quotes give our bird a name finally we must always use a semicolon to Mark the end of a command and we must always save the script before we go back to Unity now when we run the game
