Book Description

Unity is a comprehensive yet simple suite of tools for developing video games. You can use Unity to not only create video games, but also AR/VR experiences, complex simulations, real-time realistic rendering, films, and practical games for training and education. With this book, you will get to grips with creating a full game from the ground up, building it step-by-step and applying your knowledge as you progress.

Complete with hands-on tutorials and projects, this easy-to-follow guide will teach you how to develop the game using several Unity tools. As you advance, you will learn how to use the Unity engine, create simple scripts using C#, integrate graphics, sound, and animations, and manipulate physics to create interesting mechanics for your game. You'll be able to apply all the knowledge that you gain to a real-world game. Later chapters will show you how to code a simple AI agent to challenge the user and use profiling tools to ensure that the code runs efficiently. Finally, you'll work with Unity's AR tools to create AR experiences for 3D apps and games.

By the end of this Unity book, you will have created a complete game and built a solid foundation in using a wide variety of Unity tools.
