Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are new to C# or a seasoned developer just starting with Unity, you may find it difficult to use C# in Unity because: - You are new to C#. - You already have some coding experience in C# but you may find that many concepts in Unity (e.g., components) are different from working in straight C# code. - You have started coding in C# but you would like more examples specific to C# with Unity, including advanced features. The thing is, regardless of the game that you want to create with Unity, if you want to harness the power of this game engine you will need to understand C#. Use this in-depth Resource to Truly Master C# and Unity You may be able to "slap" some code together to get the job done, but you may wish you could understand the code in more depth and be able to come-up with your own code that scales-up painlessly; and this makes sense because if you truly want to create code that is efficient, scalable, and that leverages all the features available in Unity, you will probably need to learn C# in more depth, but also to understand how it can be combined to Unity's built-in libraries properly. There are plenty of resources out there; however very few explain C# in the context of Unity; and although they may provide code solutions, they may not give in-depth explanations on the C# concepts and the design ideas behind the code, or explain how the code can be optimized, so that you can avoid issues linked to memory or maintainability down the line. This is the reason why I have created this book. The idea behind its design is to provide a resource for different types of readers (i.e., beginner, intermediate or advanced programmers), to explain C# concepts in-depth, in the context of Unity, and to provide practical information and step-by-step instructions. This book was created to answer frequently-asked questions about C# programming for Unity. It includes over 300 pages of step-by-step instructions to help you become more proficient in C# for Unity. After reading this book, you should be able to (1) Understand C# and Object-Oriented Programming in-depth, (2) apply these concepts in Unity and implement common game mechanics through the built-in classes available in Unity, and (3) optimize your code so that it is easy to maintain. Find the Solution to your Problems in this 300-page Guide After using this book you will be able to solve your C# headaches. Each chapter can be read independently so that you can find and apply the solutions to a specific problem immediately. - Chapter 1 explains C# concepts in depth so that you can become proficient in C# programming and Object-Oriented concepts (e.g., inheritance, constructors, polymorphism, overloading, overriding, etc.) - Chapter 2 shows you how to code and debug C# scripts along with some best practices that will keep your code clean and bug-free. - Chapter 3 explains key concepts in linear algebra so that you can understand and use vectors in Unity (e.g., dot products for vision). - Chapter 4 acts as a cook book where you will find sections that explain how key (and frequently used) methods and C# classes can be employed to improve your gameplay, and you can go directly to the section that you need for your game (e.g., audio, detection, user-inputs, reading files, etc) and find both explanations and code examples that you can use immediately. - Chapter 5 shows you how to optimize your code and to structure it so that it is easier to maintain using component-based programming, design patterns and useful structures such as delegates or coroutines. - Chapter 6 answers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) related to C#. If you want to solve your C# programming headaches and to really understand how C# and Unity work together effectively, download this book now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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).
