   Learn How to Build a Web3 Angry Birds Game » Moralis » The Ultimate Web3 Development Platform

   In this week’s project we’re going to recreate the popular Angry Birds game, but the playable bird character is going to be an NFT. To do that, first we will learn how to import the Mumbai Testnet to our MetaMask wallet so we can do all the process without paying real gas. After that, we will call a function from that contract to mint the NFT using a local image in Unity. We will retrieve NFT metadata and use its image as a character in our game.

   Classes in C# using Unity

   A class is basically a script, and if you are familiar with Mono Behavior in Unity, then you are already familiar with class inheritance. Attaching a script to a game object for functionality like movement, UI, shooting, etc., is possible because the attached script is inheriting mono behavior, from Unity. A custom class is a developer-defined class, which is can be used for creating modularity, and storing relevant information.
