- A.
Rule
- B.
TImer
- C.
Change Attribute
- D.
Spawn Actor
Correct Answer
B. TImerExplanation
When you need a non-player actor to change motion or react without responding to a collision, you would use a Timer behavior. A Timer allows you to schedule events or actions to occur after a certain amount of time has passed. By using a Timer, you can create a delay or pause in the actor's behavior, allowing it to change motion or react at a specific time without being triggered by a collision.Rate this question:

To have the camera follow your player character you would need too..
- A.
Apply the camera control behavior to the player character
- B.
Apply the camera control behavior to the scene
- C.
Apply the camera control behavior and then make sure the tracking area is as close as possible on all side of the character
Correct Answer
A. Apply the camera control behavior to the player characterExplanation
To have the camera follow your player character, you need to apply the camera control behavior to the player character. This means that the camera control behavior will be attached to the player character, allowing the camera to track and follow the movements of the character. By applying the behavior directly to the player character, the camera will be able to maintain focus on the character and follow their movements accurately.Rate this question:

If I want to change what is seen on the screen during the game I need to change the...
- A.
Scene size
- B.
Camera size
- C.
Background size
- D.
Tracking Area
Correct Answer
B. Camera sizeExplanation
To change what is seen on the screen during the game, one needs to change the camera size. The camera determines the field of view and perspective of the game, so adjusting its size will directly impact what is visible on the screen. By modifying the camera size, the player can control the amount of the game world that is displayed, allowing for a more focused or wider view depending on their preference or gameplay requirements.Rate this question:

What attribute would you set to 0 to keep actors from bouncing off of each other?
- A.
Restitution
- B.
Density
- C.
Movable
- D.
Friction
Correct Answer
A. RestitutionExplanation
Restitution is the attribute that determines the bounciness of objects in a physics simulation. By setting the restitution to 0, actors will lose all their bounce and will not bounce off each other. Therefore, setting the restitution to 0 would keep actors from bouncing off of each other.Rate this question:

Which behavior could you use to keep a platform in one spot without using collisions?
- A.
Interpolate
- B.
Change Attribute
- C.
Constrain Attribute
- D.
Rotate Position
Correct Answer
C. Constrain AttributeExplanation
Constraining an attribute allows you to keep a platform in one spot without using collisions. This means that you can fix the position of the platform by restricting the movement of a specific attribute, such as position or rotation, preventing it from moving or changing its position. This is an effective method to maintain the platform's stability and prevent it from moving unintentionally.Rate this question:

Constant rate of motion
- B.
Since it is a behavior it uses minimal coding.
- C.
Can add direction to the movement such as with Jump
- D.
Does not require a left and right option. One rule covers all motion.
Correct Answer
C. Can add direction to the movement such as with JumpExplanation
The advantage of using the Linearvelocity.x attribute is that it allows you to add direction to the movement, such as in the case of jumping. This means that you can control the motion of an object in a specific direction using just one attribute, instead of having to use separate attributes for left and right movement. This simplifies the coding process and makes it more efficient. Additionally, by using the Linearvelocity.x attribute, you can achieve a constant rate of motion, ensuring smooth and consistent movement.Rate this question:

Where can you find the X and Y coordinates of any actor in the game when looking at behaviors and code?
- A.
Motion
- B.
Position
- C.
Physics
- D.
Size
Correct Answer
B. PositionExplanation
In order to find the X and Y coordinates of any actor in the game when looking at behaviors and code, you would need to refer to the "Position" option. This option provides information about the actor's location on the game screen, allowing you to determine its X and Y coordinates. The "Motion" option typically refers to the actor's movement or velocity, while "Physics" relates to the laws of motion and forces acting on the actor. The "Size" option pertains to the dimensions or scale of the actor, which is unrelated to its coordinates.Rate this question:
