Book Description

It's the ability to write custom C# scripts for behaviors and game mechanics that really takes Unity the extra mile. That's where this book can help you as a new programmer!

This book will teach you the fundamentals of OOPs, basic concepts of C#, and Unity engine with lots of code samples, exercises and tips to go beyond the book with your work.

You will write C# scripts for simple game mechanics, perform procedural programming, and add complexity to your games by introducing intelligent enemies and damage-dealing projectiles. You will explore the fundamentals of Unity game development, including game design, lighting basics, player movement, camera controls, collisions, and more with every passing chapter.

Note: The screenshots in the book display the Unity editor in full-screen mode for a comprehensive view. Users can easily reference color versions of images by downloading them from the GitHub repository or the graphics bundle linked in the book.

  • Comprehensive explanations with sample codes of object-oriented programming and how it applies to C#
  • Follow simple steps and examples to create and implement C# scripts in Unity
  • Divide your code into pluggable building blocks using interfaces, abstract classes, and class extensions
  • Grasp the basics of a game design document and then move on to blocking out your level geometry, adding lighting and a simple object animation
  • Create basic game mechanics such as player controllers and shooting projectiles using C#
  • Become familiar with stacks, queues, exceptions, error handling, and other core C# concepts
  • Learn how to handle text, XML, and JSON data to save and load your game data
