-
Sign up with Unity.
-
Open Unity Hub, choose the latest version of Unity, and, if possible, choose the one with the LTS (Long-Term Support) label.
-
For modules, it is recommended to unselect any code editor and use vscode (Visual Studio Code) instead for platform compatibility. Add 'WebGL Build Support' which gives website support.
-
Install Visual Studo Code (we use visual studio code to implement game engine on unity).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to install 'Visual Studio Code Editor' on Unity's package manager. Visual Studio Code may not work without this package.
Game Engine & IDE
Game Engine:
- Visual interface for creating games.
- Systems of existing code we can use (physics, rendering, audio, etc)
Integrated Development Environment (IDE):
- Helps us write code to tell the game engine what to do.
- Auto-completem color coding, syntax error checking.
Interface
- Code written on IDE is saved in "Scripts" which, in this case, are .cs files.
