Introduction to Unity

• Unity is a professional-quality game engine used to create video games

targeting a variety of platforms. Not only is it a professional development
tool used daily by thousands of seasoned game developers, it’s also one
of the most accessible modern tools for novice game developers.

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.

Unity Interface Components

8: Unity Technologies, Unity Manual, 2023 8

Unity Interface Components
(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. Each item in the Scene has an entry in the hierarchy, so the two windows are inherently linked.
The hierarchy reveals the structure of how GameObjects attach to each other.

(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.

8: Unity Technologies, Unity Manual, 2023

Unity Interface Components
(E) Overlays contain the basic tools for manipulating the Scene view and the GameObjects within it. You can
also add custom Overlays to improve your workflow.

(F) The Inspector window allows you to view and edit all the properties of the currently selected GameObject.
Because different types of GameObjects have different sets of properties, the layout and contents of the
Inspector window change each time you select a different GameObject.

(G) The Project window displays your library of Assets that are available to use in your Project. When you
import Assets into your Project, they appear here.

(H) The status bar provides notifications about various Unity processes, and quick access to related tools and
settings.

Scene View

8: Unity Technologies, Unity Manual, 2023 11

 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.

 Game View
The Game view is rendered from the Camera(s) in your application. It shows how the final, built
application looks. You need to use one or more Cameras to control what the player sees when
they are using your application.

Game View

8: Unity Technologies, Unity Manual, 2023 17

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.

8: Unity Technologies, Unity Manual, 2023 18

 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.

8: Unity Technologies, Unity Manual, 2023 19

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.

20
 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.

8: Unity Technologies, Unity Manual, 2023 21

 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.

22
 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.

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.

8: Unity Technologies, Unity Manual, 2023 23

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.

24
 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.

Scripts act as the backbone for game interactivity, enabling developers to define how game
elements behave and respond in different situations or conditions.

25
 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.
