Write a script that prints a score variable with Debug.Log.
Challenge 1: Print score
In game development, printing outputs to the console is vital for inspecting player score and variable states. In Unity C# scripts, this is performed using the Debug.Log() function.
// Printing score inside Unity
int score = 100;
Debug.Log("Score: " + score);Console outputs ensure that game logic calculations execute accurately behind the scenes.
Practice Print score value to console
Define the score variable, assign 100 to it, and print Score: 100 to the console using Console.WriteLine.
Starter code
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// score değişkenini 100 yap ve yazdır
}
}Sample solution
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int score = 100;
Console.WriteLine("Score: " + score);
}
}Expected output
Score: 100
Practice Add bonus and print total score
Define baseScore (100) and bonus (50). Sum both values into totalScore and print Total Score: 150 to the console.
Starter code
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// baseScore ve bonus değişkenleriyle toplam skoru hesaplayıp yazdır
}
}Sample solution
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int baseScore = 100;
int bonus = 50;
int totalScore = baseScore + bonus;
Console.WriteLine("Total Score: " + totalScore);
}
}Expected output
Total Score: 150
