Introduction
Unity is a powerful game development engine that allows developers to create interactive and visually stunning games for various platforms, including mobile, PC, and console. This tutorial will guide you through the basics of Unity game development, covering topics such as creating game objects, scripting behaviors, implementing physics, and more.
Hello World
Let's start with a simple "Hello World" example in Unity. Create a new project in Unity, and then follow these steps:
- Create a new 3D game object (e.g., a cube) by right-clicking in the Hierarchy panel and selecting "3D Object" > "Cube".
- Select the newly created cube in the Hierarchy panel.
- In the Inspector panel, click on the "Add Component" button and choose "New Script". Give the script a meaningful name, such as "HelloWorld".
- Double-click the script to open it in your preferred code editor.
- Replace the default script code with the following:
using UnityEngine;
public class HelloWorld : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
Debug.Log("Hello, World!");
}
}Save the script file and switch back to Unity.
Now, click the "Play" button in the toolbar to start the game. You should see the "Hello, World!" message printed in the Unity console window.
