Learn to build a custom character controller for 2D platformer games using Unity without relying on the built-in 2D physics system. Master the fundamentals of custom physics implementation by scripting gravity mechanics, detecting object overlaps, and handling collision detection. Develop horizontal movement systems and create a comprehensive player controller script that manages character behavior. Integrate player animations to bring your character to life and enhance the visual feedback of your platformer. Gain practical experience through hands-on implementation of each component, from basic physics calculations to advanced movement mechanics, while exploring alternative approaches to traditional Unity physics for greater control over your game's feel and performance.
