1.   (13 points)

   Read and follow the directions for creating the brick wall, and implementing the projectile shooter as described in the Chapter 2 supplementary material given out in class.
        Note: We are walking through this process in class, so class attendance and participation will be particularly beneficial.

   Add a sound effect to shooting the projectile.

   As discussed in class (and at the end of the class handout), you will need to make four modifications to accomplish this:

   • Add an Audio Source component to the Projectile prefab.
   • Add the following global variable to the Shooter.js script:

         var throwSound : AudioClip;
     

   • After creating this global variable, you will see the variable 'Throw Sound' listed in the Shooter script's component, attached to the Main Camera. Associate an audio sound file with this variable, such as the coconut_throw sound from the book's asset package, or one of the many audio sounds from the CSCI 130 Assets package.
   • Add the following line of code to the Shooter.js script:

         instance.audio.PlayOneShot (throwSound);
     

     As shown in the handout, this line of code should go in the Update() function, at the bottom of the if statement's code body.

   Add some "life" to your Scene.

   While the final product in the chapter is cool in the sense that you can now shoot projectiles at a wall to knock it down, the Scene is otherwise rather prosaic and boring. Give the Scene your own personal touch to make it more interesting.

   Some possible ideas:

   • Add terrain, trees, foliage, etc.
   • Add 3D models from the freely available online asset packages.
   • Create a distinct or more interesting structure than the wall (e.g. a gateway, a tower, a building, etc.); you can even scale bricks to different sizes, if needed.
   • Create and use additional materials with different colors or textures to give your structure(s) a distinct different look and feel.
   • Creatively employ physics to add motion (and/or destruction) to your Scene.
   • etc. ...
