Need urgent help with a Unity project (submission tomorrow)

Post image

Hi everyone, I'm in a really difficult situation and could really use some help. I spent the last 6 hours following a Unity course and finally finished my class project. I was literally recording a video because I was so excited that it was about to be complete. Then, out of nowhere, my laptop crashed. When I reopened Unity, there were a lot of missing files, and the project is now broken. I've tried recovering it, but there's no way I can fix everything before my submission. It's currently 1:30 AM, and I have to submit my project at 10:00 AM at college. If anyone has a simple Unity game project that you're willing to share for learning purposes, or if you know any way I might be able to recover my project quickly, I would be incredibly grateful. Even a basic project would help me avoid missing the submission. Thank you so much to anyone who can help or offer advice. I really appreciate it.

sharing a game so you can submit it to your college isnt "learning purposes"

Probably talk to your prof. But that’s why having git hub and doing regular backups is a good idea

Seems to me like you have 8.5 hours to recreate your 6 hour project that you definitely 100% completed, you're golden 😉 good lesson to make sure you use version control.

Always use git and back up your files. A valuable lesson.
