"Asteroids" Game - Part 3
In the final module on creating an Asteroids game, learn how to add weapons power-ups, a live radar, and a main menu with a local high score system. You'll learn about collision, andling multiple player weapons, logic for homing missiles, and using GUI textures and the Camera class to create a minimap. You'll also learn how to use PlayerPrefs to store information like local high scores.
We're going to change the way the player's score shows up in the GUI by adding a system to increment new points one at a time and adding a sound effect to each point tick.

We're going to add a powerup object to the scene that will strengthen the player's weapons upon collision. In this first part we'll set up the object and implement the first power up feature, the rapid-fire laser.

We setup the powerups to spawn in the playing area when an asteroid is destroyed. This functionality mirrors item drops in RPGs and weapon powerups in many shooters.

We set up the missile in this chapter, from importing the model, to tying it in to the powerup system we created earlier, to giving it the intelligence to seek out asteroids and destroy them on its own.

This is the first of three sections teaching you how to set up a live radar for your game. This chapter creates a small box on your screen that's tied in to the main camera and whose bounds represent the world bounds.

We create small colored dots within the radar map to represent the player and enemy positions in the playing area. The positions are absolute and show the locations in world space.

In this chapter we locate and map all the powerups in the scene within the radar using the same techniques as we did for mapping enemies and the player.

We write a quick script to create GUI elements for a separate menu scene from which you will be able to load the game scene.

Learn how to set up an array to store local high scores. We'll learn about the array class in general as well as how to use the PlayerPrefs class to store the score information.
