I improved the game I made in Unity today. In addition to adding controls that control the directional light in the scene, I also added controls for the player character to move around the environment. Here’s what I have so far:

This is the code I used to move the character around:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 20f;
    public Animator anim;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        anim.GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Vector3 pos = transform.position;

        if (Input.GetKey("w"))
        {
            pos.z -= speed * Time.deltaTime;
            anim.Play("Run");
        }
        if (Input.GetKey("s"))
        {
            pos.z += speed * Time.deltaTime;
            anim.Play("Run");
        }
        if (Input.GetKey("d"))
        {
            pos.x -= speed * Time.deltaTime;
            anim.Play("Run");
        }
        if (Input.GetKey("a"))
        {
            pos.x += speed * Time.deltaTime;
            anim.Play("Run");
        }


        transform.position = pos;

    }
}

Here’s what I used to turn the lights on and off:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class LightsToggle : MonoBehaviour
{
    private bool on;
    public Light sun;
    public float onIntensity = 1.0f;
    float offIntensity = 0.0f;
    Color color1 = Color.red;
    Color color2 = Color.blue;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        sun = GetComponent<Light>();
        on = true;
    }

    public void OnPressed()
    {

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
        {
            if (on)
            {
                sun.intensity = offIntensity;
                on = false;
            }
            else
            {
                //float t = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time, onIntensity) / onIntensity;
                //sun.color = Color.Lerp(color1, color1, t); 
                sun.intensity = onIntensity;
                //GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Random.ColorHSV(0f, 1f, 1f, 1f, 0.5f, 1f);
                on = true;
            }
        }
    }


    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        OnPressed();
    }
}

Some ways that I’m thinking about improving this project is by adding a running animation to the character when it moves. I also think that having a larger environment to walk around in and a clearer objective would make for a better game. Today, we also had to choose the Deeper Dive that we are interested in. The one that I most look forward to is GPU programming, as I feel that learning more about topics such as shaders will make me a better computer scientist.
