5:26 - It took me a long time to work this out, but if you use Text Mesh Pro for this, you will get a "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object UIController.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/UIController.cs:26)error" when you test the game.

"Hello, I have a question. I have set up the speed section as you did, but I encountered a problem where the character's speed increases only when I press the space bar, which is the jump button. How can I fix this issue?"
You would achieve this effect by having two identical images next to each other, that flip from front to back at the right time. I do this in one of the recent livestream archives I posted here : th-cam.com/video/kDVDSgcKD4w/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps.
Awsome tutorial! I have a question about the X velocity, can I use it to speed up the game someway, even with the x value of the player never actually changing?
i've got a quick question. what if instead of random objects in the background, i want there to be something constantly on screen, like grass or hills?
Hmm, I see what you mean. You want something that repeats itself endlessly. This can get tricky depending on what you want out of it. But you can set up two backgrounds that are the same image at the same z position. You'd have to change at exactly which x position triggers them to jump back from the left side to the right side, but this would repeat it forever.
Got inspired by your question to upload a full series of videos I've had archived, building a full game. In this video I go through the process of creating background like the one you were describing: th-cam.com/video/kDVDSgcKD4w/w-d-xo.html
I did that so that the player would start off falling down, then land on the ground for the first time naturally. But I can see where that seems unnatural.
Hey, even though it's already 2 years old vid your guide is very helpful. Unfortunately while making a text with distance player has run, I keep getting the same error while running the game.

Hi, that error is strange. The Player type is a custom class created by us, and isn't part of a special namespace so I'm not sure what unity is trying to tell you is wrong. Did you also name the script, 'Player'?

If it doesn't move, then you can just drag an image from assets into the hierarchy and set it's sort order to something very small
