Unity Weekly Assignment – Full Project README

---

📝 Project Overview

This project contains all required components from Part A and Part B of the Unity weekly assignment.
I built a complete demonstration scene for Part A, and a full 2D game-like environment for Part B, including player movement, minimap, and camera behavior.

Everything requested in the assignment is implemented and explained below section by section.

---

🅰 Part A — Components

✔ 1. Mover — Constant Movement Component

I created a Mover script that moves any GameObject at a constant speed and direction, fully adjustable using SerializeField.

---

✔ 2. Oscillator — Pendulum-Like Movement

I built an Oscillator using Mathf.Sin, producing realistic wave-like motion around a center point.

---

✔ 3. Rotator — Rotation on a Chosen Axis

I created a flexible Rotator component that rotates around any axis at a chosen rotation speed.

---

✔ 4. Heartbeat Object — Grow/Shrink Pulse

We implemented scale oscillation:

scale = baseScale * (1 + Mathf.Sin(time * speed) * intensity)

This achieves a real heart‑beat effect.

---

✔ 5. Hide/Show Toggle Component

A component was added that lets the player hide and show the object using a keyboard key.

• Toggles Renderer.enabled
• Uses SerializeField to allow choosing the key

Demonstrated with labels in the Part A scene.

---

✔ 6. Part A Demonstration Scene

A single clean scene contains:

• Mover
• Oscillator
• Rotator
• Heartbeat
• Hide/Show
• TextMeshPro labels on every object

---

🅱 Part B — Cameras and World Navigation

✔ 1. Player Movement in a 2D World

I created a functional mini-world where the player:

• Walks in 8 directions
• Moves smoothly
• Is tracked by a following camera

---

✔ 2. Camera Follow with Movement Bounds

The camera smoothly follows the player using Lerp.
We added boundaries, so the camera stops when reaching the map edges.

This prevents:

• Seeing outside the ground
• Blue background glitches
• Excessive camera movement

---

✔ 3. Mini‑Map Implementation

We implemented a full minimap:

• A second orthographic camera
• Positioned above the world
• Shows only the world + player
• Rendered in a small UI square
• Player is always visible and appropriately scaled

---

✔ 4. Simulator Rotation Behavior Explained

The assignment asks:

Why do objects look bigger when switching to portrait?

Because:

The orthographicSize of the camera remains constant,
but the aspect ratio becomes narrower, causing the camera to show less horizontal space.
With fewer world units visible, every object appears larger.

---

✔ 5. Fixing the Portrait/Landscape Scaling/Rotating Problem

the CameraFollow script itself automatically adjusts the camera’s orthographic Size. Instead of having a separate script, the same component that:

follows the player

clamps the camera within map bounds

also includes the logic to modify the orthographic size whenever the aspect ratio changes.
