Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity 5.x - Second Edition

Overview of this book

Unity is a cross-platform game engine that is used to develop 2D and 3D video games. Unity 5 is the latest version, released in March 2015, and adds a real-time global illumination to the games, and its powerful new features help to improve a game’s efficiency. This book will get you started with programming behaviors in C# so you can create 2D games in Unity. You will begin by installing Unity and learning about its features, followed by creating a C# script. We will then deal with topics such as unity scripting for you to understand how codes work so you can create and use C# variables and methods. Moving forward, you will find out how to create, store, and retrieve data from collection of objects. You will also develop an understanding of loops and their use, and you’ll perform object-oriented programming. This will help you to turn your idea into a ready-to-code project and set up a Unity project for production. Finally, you will discover how to create the GameManager class to manage the game play loop, generate game levels, and develop a simple UI for the game. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the art of applying C# in Unity.

Target screen resolution


Another good thing to fix at the start is the game's target screen resolution. Unity does allow you to create a game that supports dynamic resolution changes. However, we will fix the resolution for now. This will make things easier. Yet again, baby steps forward! We are learning in the right order instead of jumping into deep waters.

This is it. Very simple! Almost feels as if it's not worth planning at all? Trust me, it is. The truth is that a game is created in your head first. It's best to take that vision ahead and create at least some documentation from it. Make this a rule: note down your ideas as soon as you have them.
