Synopsis

Third Edition updated for Unity 2019, Published in October 2019

In this book, the third book in the series, you will become comfortable with C# programming and Unity by creating three games: a 3D First-Person Shooter, a 2D space shooter, a card matching game, and a 2D puzzle game.
The book includes step-by-step activities, as well as quizzes and challenges at the end of each chapter. The content of each chapter is as follows:

• Chapter 1 provides an introduction to C# and explains key programming concepts such as variables, variable types, polymorphism, constructors, or methods as well as best practices for C# programming within Unity.
• Chapter 2 helps you to code your first script in C#. It explains common coding mistakes and errors in Unity, and how to avoid them easily.
• Chapter 3 gets you to use C# to instantiate, use and control Rigidbody objects from your script as well as explosions to create intelligent robots that track and shoot projectiles at the player.
• Chapter 4 explains how to create and manage both weapons (e.g., a gun and a grenade launcher) and ammunitions.
• Chapter 5 explains how to use Mecanim and NavMesh navigation to control an animated character that detects, follows, or attacks the player.
• Chapter 6 makes it possible to combine the skills that you have acquired in the previous chapters to create a fully functional level. You will also learn how to generate a maze (or game level) dynamically from your code.
• Chapter 7 explains how to create a simple 2D scrolling shooter where the player will pilot a space ship, avoid asteroids, and destroy enemies to win.
• Chapter 8 shows you how to add explosions and a scrolling background to your game.
• Chapter 9 gets you to add intelligent enemies to your game.
• Chapter 10 explains how you can include a shield to the player, along with audio, more intelligent enemies, and a scoring system.
• Chapter 11 explains how you can create a card-guessing game.
• Chapter 12 explains how you can create a 2D puzzle game.
• Chapter 13 summarizes the topics covered in the book and provides you with more information on the next steps.
