appendix D Online learning resources

 

This book is designed to be a complete introduction to game development in Unity, but there’s much more to learn beyond this introduction. You’ll find lots of great resources online that you can use to go further after finishing this book.

Additional tutorials

Many sites that provide directed information on a variety of topics within Unity exist. Several of these are even provided officially by the company behind Unity.

Unity manual

This is the comprehensive user manual provided by Unity. Not only is it useful for looking up information, but the list of topics is useful by itself for providing a full idea of what Unity is capable of. You can find the manual at http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/index.html.

Script reference

Unity programmers end up reading the script reference more than any other (at least, I do!). The user manual covers the capabilities of the engine and use of the editor, but the script reference is a thorough reference to Unity’s entire API. Every Unity command is listed here at http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/index.html.

Unity learn tutorials

Unity’s official website includes several comprehensive tutorials, found in the Learn section. Most importantly, the tutorials are all videos. This may be good or bad depending on your perspective; if you are someone who likes to watch video tutorials, then https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials is a good site to check out.
