Second Edition updated for Unity 2017, Published in February 2018 Why this book can help you to get started with Game Development Creating your own game can be very intimidating at the start, and quite often, regardless of your experience with games, it is sometimes difficult to find the time and motivation to get over the first barriers and to get started. Often, these barriers seem higher than they actually are. Maybe you are a teacher trying to introduce games in your classroom or a parent trying to help your child with coding, but with no previous coding or game development experience; maybe you are a hobbyist who would love to create interactive environments based on your favorite games; maybe you are a student getting started with game development but you just don't know where to start or what resources to use; or maybe you have tried online video tutorials but found them disjointed. You may be wondering: "How can I start to create my games if I have no experience of coding", or "this game engine is so complex that I just don't know where to get started". This is quite common, and you can easily overcome these issues with a step-by-step approach that gets you to progressively develop and use your skills. This is the approach that I have used successfully over the past years to take students from no knowledge of coding or game development to good levels of proficiency in Unity and coding. Of course, it takes some time and dedication; however, by following the techniques and suggestions described in this book, I can promise you that you will progress, regardless of your background, and become more comfortable with Unity and coding. Content and structure of this book In this book, the second book in the series, you will become comfortable with scripting in Unity by creating a simple survival game. The book includes: A list of the learning objectives at the start of each chapter. Step-by-step activities. Opportunities to engage in deeper learning and problem-solving skills through challenges at the end of each chapter. Quizzes to test your knowledge. Full project and code solutions (in JavaScript and C#) for each chapter. Cheat-sheets (i.e., shortcuts, best practice, etc.) that you can download. The content of each chapter is as follows: Chapter 1 gives an introduction to JavaScript and to core principles that will help you to get started with coding. You will learn key programming concepts such as variables, variable types, or functions. Chapter 2 helps you to code your first script. You will learn how to code following best coding practices, debug your code, and also avoid common errors. Chapter 3 gets you to improve your scripting skills, enhance your game and add more interaction. You will learn to implement a scoring system, to detect collisions, and to load new levels. Chapter 4 explains how you can create and update a user interface for your game (e.g., displaying images and messages onscreen) using scripting. Chapter 5 explains how you can polish-up your game. You will add a splash-screen, a simple inventory system, sound effects, as well as a mini-map. Chapter 6 explains how to add Non-Player Characters (NPCs) with Artificial Intelligence (AI). You will configure each NPC and get them to either follow the player or walk along a simple path of your choice, and also detect collision with them. Chapter 7 provides answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) (e.g., scripting, audio, AI, or user interface). If you want to start scripting with Unity, using a tried-and-tested method: download this book now

Get Started with Game Programming Fast Getting started with Unity can be tedious if the resource that you are using doesn't have an approach tailored to your needs. In the past, I have seen how a simple yet detailed approach to teaching Unity can make a real difference to a student's ability to create games confidently and successfully and I have made sure that everything has been included in this book to make your journey enjoyable and to guarantee your success in the creation of video games with Unity. How this book is different With this book, you will not only learn about Unity but you will also enjoy the journey without the frustration. This book includes six chapters that painlessly guide you through the necessary skills to master Unity's interface, use its core features, and create and navigate through realistic 2D and 3D environments. It assumes no prior knowledge on your part and ensures that you have all the information and explanations that you need every step of the way. All the information is introduced progressively. This book is for parents or teachers who would like to introduce their children or students to game development; it is also for hobbyist just getting started with Unity, or aspiring indie game developers. What this book offers This book includes all the features that will guarantee your success as an aspiring game developer: > A book truly designed for beginners This book also assumes that you can't be expected to learn everything at once; this is why you will build all your skills incrementally. In addition, if you are more of a visual learner, you will gain access to a FREE video training that covers all the topics and features introduced in the book so that you can see how it is done. > You will be kept motivated throughout the book This book ensures that you stay motivated by giving you the right amount of information and challenge in each chapter; we all know that it's hard to keep motivated when learning a new skill, so this book always contextualizes the knowledge with an example (so that you feel it's relevant), and also makes sure that you get to challenge yourself, if you need to, with optional challenges present at the end of each chapter. > You will never feel lost or overwhelmed You will have the opportunity to learn and use Unity at your own pace and to become comfortable with its interface. This is because every single new concept introduced will be explained. Every step is explained in great details so that you never feel lost. All the concepts are introduced progressively so that you don't feel overwhelmed. > You will learn by doing With this book, you will build your own 2D and 3D environments and you will spend more time creating than reading, to ensure that you can apply the concepts covered in each section. All chapters include step-by-step instructions with examples that you can use straight-away. What you will learn After completing this book, you will be able to: Feel comfortable with Unity's core features. Apply transformations (e.g., rotate, or scale). Create a 3D Maze with lights, walls, and textures. Create an island with trees, sandy beaches, mountains, and water. Use cameras and vehicles. Create a 2D platform game (with no scripting). Export your games to the web. Still not sure? Scroll to the top of this page and click on the book's cover to "look inside" this book to see the topics covered, learn more about Patrick's background and determine if reading "Unity from Zero to Proficiency (Foundations)" will be a worthwhile investment.

Third Edition updated for Unity 2019, Published in October 2019 In this book, the fourth book in the series, you will learn to create a simple network game, generate levels procedurally, and optimize the performance of your game. This book can be read as a standalone (you don't need to have read the previous books in the series, although it may help) and focuses on four aspects: procedural level creation, database access, multi-player networked games, and code and project optimization (i.e., memory and speed). The main idea behind this book is to save you some headaches when you need to maintain your code or expand your game, and to help you to find the time to actually code your game, by explaining simple and effective ways and best coding and organizational practices that you can use easily to create more code (and games) in less time with less stress and more fun. The content of each chapter is as follows: Chapter 1 explains how you can create procedural levels, using arrays, text files, XML files, or images, and avoid spending a lot of time creating your scene manually. You will also learn how to generate a random maze procedurally as well as an outdoor environment in the same style as Minecraft Chapter 2 explains how you can read and write data from/to a database through Unity to save and update user preferences. Chapter 3 explains how to create a simple (but fun) network tank game that can be played by two remote players. Chapter 4 shows you how to create a 2D game where the player has to memorize and to play an increasing sequence of colors and sounds, in a similar way as the Simon game that was popular in the 80s. Chapter 5 explains advanced techniques to boost the performance of your game, and to make your code and project easily maintainable. Chapter 6 provides answers to frequently asked questions.
