    Hello Unity Community! :)
    I have had a little experience in unity but never finished a project. I'm not ashamed to say my ideas are too ambitious. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas of a reasonably easy project to start, that can be easily added too. For example new maps or game modes or weapons. Art assets are not a problem as I ain't half bad at creating them. It's the scripting I struggle with.. I look forward to replies... Thanks guys

    gnoP. It's pong in reverse. You play as the AI while the AI plays as the player

    Well, unless you haven't improved massively since what you produced nearly a year ago, chances exist that doing Pong might be still out of your reach as it involves quite some great music, some game logic, versatile level design and last but not least gameplay with a decent flow.

    There is so much to learn from a simple, complete pong clone.

    How about start with the included tutorials, everything is spelled out for you and it's a great learning tool.

    I agree, pong is too easy to do.

    SO F(@* DO IT.

    If it takes only half an hour you've proven us wrong - and it's faster than posting otherwise. If it takes longer than that then you'll know what we are talking about.

    I was lucky that I had to make games as part of my education. My first was an attempt at a game engine and failed miserably. My second and third where masterpieces [comparitive to other students, I've learnt a lot since them of course] and where much simpler.
