Creating a Cross-Platform Quiz App using Unity and C#

 

Creating a Cross-Platform Quiz App using Unity and C# 

 

In this course, you will learn how to make any quiz application with randomly generated question from scratch with Unity 3d and C#.

 

We will create a simple quiz app for kids to learn elementary math. The example application will be built step-by-step, moving from the simplest viable version to more complex versions with more functionality and visual improvements. The ideas from this course can be used to create your own more complex quiz-like application.

 

The material in this course is divided into 3 Sections. Section 1 features a short introduction to the course.

 

In Section 2, we will discuss the architecture that is common for all quiz-based applications. In this section we will create the core of our example application. We will talk a lot about random generation, because in our math quiz all the questions and answers are generated randomly. By the end of section 2 we will have a minimum viable quiz application that is suitable for a very formal quiz.

 

In Section 3 we will add more interactivity to our quiz application. You will learn how to make important elements of quiz apps: progress bars, countdown timers, displaying visual feedback about players` answers, interpreting and showing the final results of the quiz. You will also learn how to add sound to your application. In the last Lecture of Section 3 I will show you how you can easily customize the visual appearance of your application in Unity without writing any extra code.

 

Follow along with free, downloadable assets

 

I have tried to save the project that I was working in as often as I can so that you can easily pick up the material from any point in this course. All these projects and the assets used to develop our example quiz will be available for download with this course.

 

 

What are the requirements?

 

 You can be an absolute beginner with Unity to take this course. This course is very beginner-friendly and I try to explain everything that I am doing as much as I can.

It would certainly be easier to follow the material in this course if you have some previous experience with C#, but it is not strictly necessary. I do not use any advanced features of C# language in this course.

You should install Unity3d to develop the application that we are making in this course. Any version after Unity 5 will do.

 

 

What am I going to get from this course?

 

 learn universal workflow for all the quiz applications.

 organize the flow of your application by creating different screen layouts and switching between them at runtime.

 learn a lot about random generation since the questions in this application are generated randomly.

 how to add countdown timers and progress bars to your Unity applications.

 learn how to interpret and show the results of your quiz app to your users.

 learn how to add countdown timers and progress bars to your Unity applications.

 learn the basics of working with Unity UI.

 You will learn how to create user interfaces in Unity that will look the same on different resolutions and screen aspect ratios.

 get a fully functional Unity project of the quiz application created in this tutorial. You will also get a Bonus project with some visual improvements and decorations.

 

 

What is the target audience?

 

This course is for people who want to make their own quiz application and want to learn how quiz applications are made in general.

The techniques taught in this course can be used to build any other quiz or trivia application and are not limited to making just math quizzes. Other examples might include quiz games like: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Logo Quiz, different psychology quizzes, etc...
