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!

Harrison Ferrone, in this seventh edition of the bestselling series will take you through the building blocks of programming and the C# language from scratch while building a fun and playable game prototype in Unity.

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.
