I modified the kenney pack
When I was younger, I used to dream of creating a pirate game, because the pirate movie from the Caribbean had inspired me a lot. A few days ago, I came across the kenney pack "monochrome pirates" the license allows me to modify and share it, so I colored it because I prefer a pirate world in color, so I hope it will help just one of you.

How would I go about and adding a second player and changing the controls to a (Xbox) controller
I'm trying to make a simple fighting game, so far I have one character and their movement on a keyboard, how can I add a second character and switch from keyboard to controller where both characters are controller with different controllers? This is my movement code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed;
public float jumpForce;
private float moveInput;
private Rigidbody2D rb;
private bool facingRight = true;
private bool isGrounded;
public Transform groundCheck;
public float checkRadius;
public LayerMask whatIsGround;
private int extraJumps;
public int extraJumpsValue;
private float isFalling;
public Animator animator;
void Start()
{
extraJumps = extraJumpsValue;
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
isGrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundCheck.position, checkRadius, whatIsGround);
moveInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveInput speed, rb.velocity.y);
animator.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(moveInput));
if(facingRight == false && moveInput > 0)
{
Flip();
} else if(facingRight == true && moveInput < 0)
{
Flip();
}
if(rb.velocity.y > 0.1)
{
animator.SetBool("StartJump", true);
animator.SetBool("StartFall", false);
}
if(rb.velocity.y < -0.1)
{
animator.SetBool("StartFall", true);
animator.SetBool("StartJump", false);
}
if(rb.velocity.y == 0)
{
animator.SetBool("StartJump", false);
animator.SetBool("StartFall", false);
}
}
void Update()
{
if(isGrounded == true)
{
extraJumps = extraJumpsValue;
}
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) && extraJumps >= 0)
{
rb.velocity = Vector2.up jumpForce;
extraJumps--;
}
}

Hello,
Since this morning I cannot access ANY post on the forum, and those are always the first results on Google when I look for help.
Every page returns "Oops! That page doesn't exist or is private".
I see posts with names that look like my issue but I can't check them out.
Is it something on my end?
Thanks.

UnityEssentials Course - My thoughts after returning to Unity 4+ years later
Background
About 4 years ago, I was in university and using Unity pretty much on the daily. It started out as side projects and then I wound up getting an internship where about 50% of my work was done on the platform. Fast-forward to now and it has been a very long time since I have used it. I re-entered my hobbyist game-dev phase recently and decided to fire it up again only to find that... I remember nothing? lol
So I made the decision to start learning again with Unity Pathways to get my feet wet again.
The Course
Overall, the course is a solid introduction to Unity's controls and interface. It did an excellent job of making me comfortable navigating the UI again.
While I am an experienced programmer, I don't think there would be many issues getting up-and-running if you don't have any experience. That being said, I do think that it is important to go into this with some knowledge of C#.
How Long Does It Take?
The course -- estimated to take about 2-weeks -- can be completed much faster than that. I have seen other posters mention the seemingly-random time estimates on these tasks before, but in my experience this is true of any e-learning platform. For me, I was able to complete it in about 3 days, only spending an hour or two each day.
What Will You Learn?
Well, that depends! For me, it re-strengthened my foundational understanding of Unity, its interface, and the GameObject system. For someone who has never spent a minute on the platform, here are some things you can expect to learn:
How to navigate around Unity's UI
Core concepts of how the engine functions
How to create a scene (level) in 2D and 3D
How to publish your game to the web
How to build your games to a desktop app
Fundamentals of 2D and 3D game mechanics in Unity
Overall, this course will definitely make you more than comfortable in starting your journey.
Final Thoughts
Love them or hate them, the Unity Pathways seem to offer a genuinely solid approach to learning the Unity Engine. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone new to Unity, or alternatively those, like me, returning after some time.
However, I would love to hear what anyone else thinks about the pathways. Do any of you have differing experiences than mine? Did they set you up with the necessary skills to get started?

Looking for Feedback on My Puzzle Game - Your Thoughts and Suggestions?
Hey everyone,
I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on in my free time - a mobile puzzle game! 🎮 I’d love to get some feedback.
# About the Game:
Genre: Puzzle
Goal: You will need to strategically swap and switch blocks to redirect the beam from the source so that it hits all of the required objects in the "combo" displayed in the UI, while avoiding obstacles such as death blocks or freeze blocks that will pause the game for a short time.
Gameplay: You need to shift the tiles in a way that the beam hits all the required objects. However, there are some forbidden tile shifts to keep things challenging.
I’ve added a few screenshots to the post to give you an idea of the gameplay

Some Questions:
What do you think about the gameplay mechanics? Any suggestions to make it more engaging or fun?
How do you feel about the assets and style? Keep in mind this is an early/simple version.
Any ideas on how I can advance the game or add new features?
I appreciate any feedback or suggestions you might have. Thanks for taking the time to check out my game!

I am a solo developer who is currently between university and game dev. This project is something I do as a hobby. Whenever I have the opportunity, I work on it to further improve my game development skills.
