Summary

Displaying and interacting with your users is paramount to having a good user experience (UX) for your game or app. In this project, Unity 2018 UI Fundamentals, you'll configure basic UI components and gain knowledge on how to make those interactions work for users to accomplish their goals using your programs, which can include 2D games, 3D games with UI overlays, or UI in the world itself, like in VR or AR. First, you'll learn about the different canvas types you can use. You'll see the new component, TextMeshPro, and start using it to create highly customizable text. Next, you'll get to create a configuration panel with different UI components in them. Finally, you'll examine how to make a main menu with some cool interactive pizzazz. By the end of this project you'll have a better understanding of how to help the users interact with your Unity game or application.
