For those new to creating virtual reality in Unity, this project utilizes a popular free plugin called VRTK to create a "Jump Start Your Car Battery" app prototype that focuses on getting started quickly, with minimal or no development experience.

The goal of this live session is to set up the basic gameplay for our prototype. We will start by creating a new project and importing the starter files. Next we will choose a beautiful background and a character for the player to control, and allow that character to jump with a tap of the spacebar. We will also choose an obstacle for the player, and create a spawn manager that throws them in the player’s path at timed intervals.

Join us Mondays and Thursdays at 10:00am PT by registering here. This week, you will program a fast-paced endless side-scrolling runner game where the player needs to time jumps over oncoming obstacles to avoid crashing. In creating this prototype, you will learn how to add music and sound effects, completely transforming the experience of your projects. You will also learn how to create dynamic endless repeating backgrounds, which are critical for any side-scrolling games. Finally, you will learn to incorporate particle effects like splatters and explosions, which make your games so much more satisfying to play.

Unity 6 comes with a variety of new features and updates that make creating your projects much easier. In this course, we’ll take a look at the various UI enhancements and new Unity Editor features available to you. We’ll start by taking a look at the latest quality-of-life changes in the Unity Editor, like user interface improvements and new scene overlay functionality. Then, we’ll jump into some of the newer features such as Splines, Piercing Menu, Build Profiles and more. By the end of this course, you will become familiar with the latest tools and features available to you in Unity 6. By the end of this course, you will be able to: Navigate around ProBuilder’s new user interface. Utilize the Splines package to place geometry and animate GameObjects. Utilize the new Cameras Overlay to move cameras around a scene. Use the new Piercing Menu to select specific objects in a busy scene. Create and use Build Profiles for specific build targets.

The Input Manager is a great way to set up various input devices. This may include keyboard input, mouse input, and game controller input. In this tutorial, you will learn about the Input Manager.

This tutorial demonstrates how to get a button or a key for input in a Unity project, and how these axes behave or can be modified with the Unity Input manager. Part of: Beginner Scripting project Previous Tutorial: Destroy Next Tutorial: GetAxis

In this session you will learn practical strategies to optimize loading times in your Unity projects. We walk through each stage of the Unity engine’s initialization process and show you how to minimize startup delays. Along the way, we cover targeted optimization tips for each phase and explore the best ways to leverage runtime loading APIs. We also cover on-demand loading, data serialization/deserialization, and effective parallelization. By the end of this session, you’ll know precisely how Unity initializes and how to streamline every step so players can jump into your game with minimal wait. Session Objectives: Examine how the Unity engine initializes using Unity Profiler and a sampling profiler Explore runtime loading APIs Discover techniques for parallelizing loading steps Apply multithreading principles to speed up loading processes within Unity Who is if for: This session is designed for Unity developers interested in improving their title’s loading performance. Prior experience with data serialization, multithreading, and intermediate Unity skills will help you get the most out of the material.

You will learn how to: Create Crisp Text using Text Mesh Pro Import custom fonts from Google Fonts to use with Text Mesh Pro Precision Grab Interactable Objects that avoids "jumping" to your hand

Configuring an Xbox controller for user input in Unity is easily achieved through Unity’s new Input System , available as an installable Package. In this tutorial, we will set up a simple scenario that uses the Xbox game controller buttons.

Configuring the Xbox controller in Unity, and accessing it in code, is relatively straightforward. In this tutorial, we’ll set up a simple scenario that uses the Xbox controller axes and buttons.
