Unity Engine

One of my friends passed away recently, and I thought of a (possibly) simple gesture I could make for the friends and family. I normally leave this stuff to myself, but every tutorial starts me off way beyond what I’m prepared to invest (if I had time).

I just wanted someone to point me in the right direction where I could learn some basics about how to have an app that has a picture of him on the front. And a button that could be pressed taking the user to a small picture and brief memory. I have so many I could fill pages, I just don’t know where to begin on the project, while I wouldn’t mind spending the money to have it made for me, theres just no service that offers such a one time gimmick.

Thank you.

I also have 30$ in my paypal if that could motivate someone to send me the right direction

This should get you started. It uses Unity’s old GUI system which you can read about here.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Memorial : MonoBehaviour {
    public Texture mainImage;
    public Texture smallImage;
    public Texture bkgImage;
    public string info;
    private float SW;
    private float SH;
    private bool buttonPressed;
    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
        SW=Screen.width;
        SH=Screen.height;
    }
   
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
   
    }
    void OnGUI()
    {
        if(!buttonPressed)
        {
             if(GUI.Button(new Rect(0,0,SW, SH),mainImage))
             {
                buttonPressed=true;
               
             }
        }
        else
        {
            GUI.DrawTexture(new Rect(0,0,SW, SH),bkgImage, ScaleMode.StretchToFill);
            GUI.DrawTexture(new Rect(10,10,SW/4,SH/4),smallImage, ScaleMode.ScaleAndCrop);
            GUI.Label(new Rect(10,SH/4+10, SW-10,SH-(SH/4+10)),info);   
        }
       
    }
}

That’s very thoughtful of you. But perhaps you’d be better off using something simpler, like PowerPoint or even Sony Vegas Movie Studio if you’re feeling ambitious. Unity seems like an overkill for just displaying pictures.

I see what you mean… but I have a feeling this is something people would really be into.
