In this course, you’ll build a 2D game in Unity — starting from a completely blank project with no assets provided, you’ll create the entire game from start to finish. In the game, you fly a simple triangle-shaped ship using mouse clicks (or screen taps on mobile). Your goal: stay alive for as long as you can by dodging flying obstacles while your score increases over time. Along the way, you’ll learn the fundamentals of working in 2D, from navigating the Scene view to coding simple gameplay interactions. You’ll also explore key Unity systems like a user interface (UI), particle effects, audio, and publishing. By the end, you’ll not only have a complete, playable game, but you’ll also have the skills to start building your own original 2D projects.

In this video the Net Check team will explain their choice in network architecture, install Netcode for GameObjects, outline the changes they'll need in their project and begin converting their player and enemies.

Unity for Humanity empowers storytellers and changemakers to make the world a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable place for all. Unity for Humanity's: Guide for Creators covers how to design games that create impact.

Ragdolls are variants of animated objects whose bones are completely taken over by the force of physics. They’re most often used when a character is defeated, like in an action game when a player’s health depletes, or when you want a character’s movement to appear to be driven by physical forces. In this tutorial, we’ll create a Ragdoll using Unity’s built-in Create Ragdoll window. We'll use the Eva character in our examples, but you can use any character you want.

A profiling tool gives detailed information about how a game is performing. The Profiler window is a powerful profiling tool that is built into Unity. This tutorial describes what the Profiler window is used for and how to use it to diagnose performance problems in a game or other application.

Use the resources in this tutorial to help complete your game project using the Unity Playground framework. Each step drills down into one of the scripts, actions, attributes, or conditions that are used in the project.

When you use a 360° video in a Unity project, it's important to manage the memory the video uses. Unity's Addressables system provides a solution for managing memory for 360° videos that's easier than using the AssetBundles API.

Polymorphism is a feature of inheritance and one of the pillars of object-oriented programming. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to: Explain the basics of polymorphism, including its practical use in development. Upcast and downcast to access different class functionality via polymorphism. Use type checking to avoid errors. Serialize variables correctly when you use polymorphism.
