Game
 Game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken
for entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool.
Many games are also considered to be work or art
 Games can take many forms, including physical activities, board
games, card games, video games, sports…
 They can be played alone, in teams, offline or online; by amateurs or
by professionals
 Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and
interaction

3
Video game
 Video games are interactive electronic
games played on various devices, including
computers, gaming consoles, smartphones,
tablets, and handheld gaming devices
 They are a form of digital entertainment
that allows players to engage with virtual
worlds, characters, and challenges through
input devices like keyboards, mice,
controllers, or touchscreens

4
Game engine
 A software framework or platform designed to create and develop
video games
 It provides developers with a set of tools, libraries, and functionalities
that simplify and expedite the game development process
Some popular game engines:
Unity
Unreal Engine
Godot Engine
CryEngine
Lumberyard
…
5
Game engine
 The most popular game engines contain some or all of the following
functionality:
 Graphics rendering engine, supporting 2D or 3D graphics
 Physics engine that supports collision detection
 Audio engine to load and play sounds and music files
 Scripting support to implement gameplay logic
 World object model defining the contents and properties of the game world
 Animation handling to load animation frames and play them

6
Game engine
 The most popular game engines contain some or all of the following
functionality:
 Networking code to allow for multiplayer, downloadable content, and
leaderboards
 Multithreading to allow game logic to execute simultaneously
 Memory management because no computer has unlimited memory
 Artificial intelligence for pathfinding and computer opponents

8
Introduction to Unity
• Unity is a cross-platform game engine initially released by Unity Technologies, in
2005. The focus of Unity lies in the development of both 2D and 3D games and
interactive content

• Unity now supports over 20 different target platforms for deploying, while its most
popular platforms are the PC, Android and iOS systems

• Unity features a complete toolkit for designing and building games, including
interfaces for graphics, audio, and level-building tools, requiring minimal use of
external programs to work on projects

9
Cross-Platform Capabilities
Unity's cross-platform capabilities empower developers to create games and
applications that can seamlessly run on multiple platforms, including mobile devices
(iOS, Android), consoles, desktops (Windows, macOS), web browsers, AR/VR
devices, and more

Unity IDE Interface

13
Unity IDE Interface
• (A) The Toolbar provides access to
your Unity Account and Unity Cloud
Services. It also contains controls for
Play mode; Undo history; Unity
Search; a layer visibility menu; and the
Editor layout menu

• (B) The Hierarchy window is a

hierarchical text representation of
every GameObject in the Scene

14
Unity IDE Interface
• (C) The Game view simulates what
your final rendered game will look
like through your Scene Cameras.
When you click the Play button, the
simulation begins

• (D) The Scene view allows you to

visually navigate and edit your
Scene. The Scene view can display
a 3D or 2D perspective, depending
on the type of Project you are
working on
15
Unity IDE Interface
• (E) Overlays contain the basic tools for
manipulating the Scene view and the
GameObjects within it

• (F) The Inspector window allows you to

view and edit all the properties of the
currently selected GameObject

16
Scene View

17
Scene View
• The Scene view is where you visualize and interact with the world you create in the
Editor
• In the Scene view, you can select, manipulate, and modify GameObjects that act
as scenery, characters, cameras, lights, and more

24
Hierarchy View
 Hierarchy lists the name of every object in the scene
and nests the names together according to their
hierarchy linkages in the scene
 Basically, it’s a way of selecting objects by name
instead of hunting them down and clicking them within
the Scene view
 The Hierarchy linkages group objects together visually,
like folders, allowing you to move the entire group as
one

25
Inspector Panel
 The Inspector shows you information
about the currently selected object
 Select an object, and the Inspector is then
filled with information about that object.
The information shown is pretty much a list
of components, and you can even attach
or remove components from objects

26
The Toolbar
 You can find the
Toolbar at the top of
the Unity Editor
 It is not a window, and
is the only part of the
Unity interface that
you can’t rearrange

27
The Project and Console tabs
 Project shows all the assets (art, code, and so on) in the project. Specifically, on
the left side of the view is a listing of the project’s directories; when you select a
directory, the right side of the view shows the individual files in that directory
 Project shows files that may not be contained within any specific scene

28
The Project and Console tabs
 The Console tab is the place where messages from the code show up
 Some of these messages will be debugging output that you placed deliberately,
but Unity also emits error messages if it encounters problems in the script you
wrote

29
Customizing your workspace
 You can customize your Layout of Views by click-dragging the Tab of any View to
one of several locations
 Dropping a Tab in the Tab Area of an existing window will add the Tab beside any
existing Tabs. Alternatively, dropping a Tab in any Dock Zone will add the View in
a new window

30
Customizing your workspace
If you can't find a panel on the
layout, you can reopen it by going
to the Window > General, and
then choosing the panel you want
to add

Or you can click on the Layout

Options button at the top right of
each tab and choose Add Tab, to
add a new panel
31
Unity's Scripting Integration
 Unity is deeply integrated with various scripting languages, with C#
being the primary language used for scripting game logic within the
Unity ecosystem
 Scripts in Unity play a pivotal role in adding interactivity to game objects.
 These scripts define the behavior, interactions, and logic behind various
game elements, making them dynamic and responsive to player input or
events

32
Unity's Scripting Integration
 Scripts act as the backbone
for game interactivity,
enabling developers to define
how game elements behave
and respond in different
situations or conditions
