To get the most out of this book

• Pay attention to this book not as a tutorial but as many tools being used to develop a 3D game. We’re only going over a few simple examples. Take the logic out as something to apply to your projects as much as possible.
• Be prepared to take your own notes on the topics that are being covered. We ramp up the difficulty in programming quite a bit during the physics portion.
• Ask questions in the Discord, which is attached to the book through a QR code.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. For example: “Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system.”

A block of code is set as follows:

void OnStartGameButtonPressed()
    {
        SetPlayerEnabled(true);
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        Cursor.visible = false;
        this.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on the screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes, also appear in the text like this. For example: “Select System info from the Administration panel.”
