Game developers usually have some role in game marketing. --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------True Which region uses the PEGI rating system? ---------CORRECT ANSWER--- --------------Europe When considering who to approach as a possible mentor for you when you are developing and marketing your game, you should consider: --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------all of the above PCM ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This option offers higher quality at the expense of larger file size and is best for very short sound effects. Force To Mono ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------When this option is enabled, multi-channel audio will be mixed down to a single track before packing. Streaming ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This method uses a minimal amount of memory to buffer compressed data that is incrementally read from the disk and decoded on the fly. Preload Audio Data ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------The audio clip will be loaded when the scene is loaded. This is on by default.
- Which of the following statements are true about Audio Assets?Choose ALL that apply. a. ADPCM is very lightweight on the CPU requirements, since the sound is uncompressed and can just be read from memory. b. Vorbis/MP3 is a compromise between memory and CPU usage in that it uses only slightly more CPU than the uncompressed option, but yields a constant 3.5 compression factor. c. In general, the PCM and Vorbis/MP3 formats are preferrable for keeping the sound as close to the original as possible. d. Vorbis/MP3 allows adaptively discarding less audible information via the Quality slider. e. PCM is more CPU intensive, since the sound must be uncompressed before playing. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------c. In general, the PCM and Vorbis/MP3 formats are preferrable for keeping the sound as close to the original as possible. d. Vorbis/MP3 allows adaptively discarding less audible information via the Quality slider. Max Distance ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------The area where the sound stops attenuating at. Spatial Blend ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Sets how much the 3 D engine has an effect on the audio source. Min Distance ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Increase this to make the sound 'louder' in a 3d world, and decrease it to make it 'quieter' in a 3d world. Audio Clip ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Reference to the sound file that will be played.
Pitch ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Amount of change sound due to slowdown/speed up of the Audio Clip. Play on Awake ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------The sound will start playing the moment the scene launches. Output ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Use this property to redirect sound of the clip to an audio mixer. Stereo Pan ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Sets the position in the stereo field of 2D sounds. Unity supports which formats: Choose ALL that apply. a) .wav b) .mdx c) .riff d) .aud e) .ogg f) .mod g) .snd h) .mp3 ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------a) .wav e) .ogg f) .mod h) .mp Which of the following are values of parameters within the AudioMixer are captured in a Snapshot?
Audio High Pass Filter ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Removes signals with frequencies lower than the Cutoff Frequency. Preserve Sample Rate ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This is the default setting for sampling. Decompress on Load ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Use this option for smaller compressed sounds to avoid the performance overhead of decompressing on the fly. Audio Reverb Filter ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Takes an Audio Clip and distorts it to create a custom "effect". Ducking ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This allows you to alter the effect of one group based on what is happening in another group. Capsule ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This primitive is a cylindrical object with hemispherical caps at each end. This has one unit in diameter and two units high - the body is one unit, and each cap is 0. units. It is textured so the image wraps around once and the edges pinch together at the apex of each hemisphere. Cylinder ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This primitive is two units high and one unit in diameter. This is textured so that the image wraps
once around the tube shape of the body and repeats separately on the two flat ends. Plane ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This primitive is a flat square with edges ten units long, divided into 200 triangles, and is oriented in the xy plane of the local coordinate space. This is textured so that the complete image appears once within the square. These are useful for most flat surfaces, such as floors and walls. Quad ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This primitive is a square with edges one unit long, divided into two triangles, and is oriented in the xy plane of the local coordinate space. You can use this as a display screen for an image or movie. You can also use these to implement simple GUI and information displays, particles, sprites, and imposter images as substitutes for solid objects views at a distance. Sphere ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This primitive has a diameter of one unit (that is, 0.5 unit radius). This is textured so that the image wraps around the object and the top and bottom edges pinch together at each pole. Layer-Based Collisions ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A way to control which objects bumps into another specific objects. Euler Angle ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Represents values of rotations sequentially around the z-axis, the x-axis and then the y-axis.
Parent ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------THIS is created when a Object is when one Object is dragged in the Hierarchy View on top of another Object. This will create a relationship between the two Objects. Below World has this relationship to Directional Light: GameObject ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------This is the most important concept in the Unity Editor. They are the fundamental objects in Unity that represent characters, props and scenery. Every object in your game is one of these. Prefab ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------THIS is an Object complete with all its components, property values, and child Objects as a reusable Asset. This acts as a template from which you can create new instances in the Scene. Transform ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Every Object always has a THIS attached (to represent position and orientation) and it is not possible to remove this. THIS is used to store an Object's position, rotation, scale and parenting state. Chunk Mode ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------The Renderer groups Tiles by location, and batches their Sprites together for rendering. Select this mode for the best rendering performance with Tilemap. Individual Mode ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------The Renderer renders each Tile one a time, taking into account their location and sorting order. This mode enables the Sprites on the Tiles to interact with other Renderers in the scene or with a Custom Sorting Axis.
Sort Order ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Set the direction that Tiles on the selected Tilemap are sequenced. Detect Chuck Culling Bounds ---------CORRECT ANSWER----------------- Determines how the Render detects the "edges" used for the culling of Tilemap chunks. These expand the edges of Tilemap chunks to ensure that oversized Sprites will not be clipped during culling. Distance Join 2D ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Attaches two game objects controlled by rigidbody physics together and keeps them a certain distance apart. Hinge Joint 2D ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Keeps two objects in a position relative to each other, so the objects are always offset at a given position and angle. For example, objects that need to react as if they are rigidly connected: They can't move away from each other, they can't move closer together, and they can't rotate with respect to each other. You can also use this joint to create a less rigid connection that flexes. Friction Joint 2D ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Reduces both the linear and angular velocities between two game objects controlled by rigidbody physics to zero (ie: it slows them down and stops them). For example; a platform that rotates but resists that movement. Slider Joint 2D ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Allows a game object controlled by rigidbody physics to slide along a line in space, like sliding doors, for example.
