Unity3D for Aspiring Game Developers

This document provides an introduction and overview of the Unity game engine. It discusses what Unity is, its key capabilities and components, and how game development works in Unity. Specifically: - Unity is a game engine that makes game development easier and faster through its visual editor and component-based architecture. - Games are built in Unity using a scene-based workflow with game objects, which are empty elements that gain functionality through added components. Common components provide rendering, physics, animation, scripting and more. - The document demonstrates Unity's interface and provides a sample workflow of preparing a scene and playing it to see the results. It also highlights some popular games created with Unity across genres like puzzles, racing and action

INTRODUCTION TO UNITY
What is Unity?
 Game engine – system designed to help create video games
o Easier & Faster

 Visual editor – see changes in real-time


o Interactive & Rapid prototyping

 Component-based – functionality built out of smaller pieces


o Modular & Extensible

Unity games run everywhere
Unity understands you
Multiple programming languages
var explosion : Transform;

JavaScript function OnCollisionEnter() {


Destroy(gameObject);
Instantiate(explosion, [Link], [Link]);
}

using UnityEngine;
using [Link];

public class Example : MonoBehaviour {


public Transform explosion;
C# void OnCollisionEnter() {
Destroy(gameObject);
Instantiate(explosion, [Link], [Link]);
}
}

import UnityEngine
import [Link]

class Example(MonoBehaviour):

Boo public explosion as Transform

def OnCollisionEnter():
Destroy(gameObject)
Instantiate(explosion, [Link], [Link])

Scene
• Unity games are divided into scenes
• Scenes are empty spaces...
• ...that can be filled with game objects
Game Object
• Everything inside a scene is a game object
• Game objects also start out empty and do
nothing...

?
Game Object
• ...but by adding components to them they can
become anything!
Component
 Each component adds a piece of functionality to the game object

 The combination of all components defines what the game


object is

Let’s see some examples!


The Transform Component
 Where?
 Which direction?
 How large?
Rendering Components
 What to draw? (mesh filter)
 How to draw? (mesh renderer)
Physics Components
 Is solid? (collider)
 Moves? (rigid body)
The Script Component
 Adds custom behavior
Other Components
 Light
 Camera
 Text mesh
 Audio listener & source
 Particle system
 Skybox
 …and many more.
How to create Game Objects

 Create an empty game object and manually add components to it


 Choose one of the default game objects
