  • Build a playable game prototype in Unity—a working first-person shooter game prototype

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.

Who is this book for?

If you're a developer, programmer, hobbyist, or anyone who wants to get started with Unity and C# programming in a fun and engaging manner, this book is for you.

What you will learn

  • Understanding programming fundamentals by breaking them down into their basic parts
  • 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

I use this book when I'm following video tutorials. It definitely helps. The book is easy to read and understand. The Print quality looks good and clear. I use a yellow highlighter and highlight parts that I feel are important. This is definitely a good book to have for beginners.

This book is geared for the beginner, and it does an excellent job teaching. I found that the real-world examples were great! Even though I am not a beginner I wound up learning a lot from the information he provides. This book is a great book to have in your arsenal!!

I am currently teaching myself how to code C# as my very first language in the hopes of using the Unity game engine to create indie video games. As such, this book has been an absolute godsend of helpful information. Whether you're just trying to learn to code or strictly want to deepen your knowledge of Unity, I can't recommend this book enough!

This book is an excellent resource for people trying to get into game development from absolute zero. The author puts extra emphasis on getting you started from the very basics and giving detailed information on how to set up the environment, something which most people overlook but can be specially scary for starters. You will have no trouble getting started with code as the author assumes nothing and takes you in every step of the process, even providing updated screenshots of every step.When it comes to C#, this book gives a good explanation of OOP concepts and more importantly, it distinguishes C# from the actual concept of OOP. The explanations are thorough and very good. He also gives you an explanation of how OOP is used inside Unity, which is useful to demystify the inner workings of it. Again, the author assumes nothing when it comes to C# and takes you from zero to hero, the concepts explained in the last parts of the book (Linq, Generics, Delegates, Serialization, etc...) will really empower you to get your hands dirty with C# and understand actual code used in actual games, provided you are willing to spend time writing code of your own. Keep in mind that there are a lot of programming concepts that you will have to keep learning on your own if you wanna become an actual expert, and it would take an entire encyclopedia to get there.I really like that the author gives an explanation of Serializing data since it helps the reader understand one of the most important concepts of a game and it is saving data. I mean it is good to know how to make games but most people never play the whole thing in one go so persisting data is essential to the whole process. Additionally, it explains what JSON and XML are, which is important since those are two very important standards when it comes to data handling.On the Unity side of things I think the examples are relevant to what the reader is trying to achieve, which is to make simple 3D games. This book is written for someone who wants to learn the coding side of game development and is not an all in one knowledge base, so keep that in mind. However, it is really useful for people who want to demystify the C# aspect of Unity, so if you're a designer trying to learn to code, a novice programmer, or just someone who wants to take a first step in Unity, this is an excellent resource for you!

With intermediate knowledge of Unity, this book provides detailed information on various concepts of the Unity Engine and C# scripting. It offers in-depth knowledge of C#, especially for individuals interested in game development. I would recommend this book to first-time readers who want to gain more knowledge on aspects of programming and design.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
