Unity is an awesome gaming platform that takes the "miracle" out of game coding. However, it can be overwhelming to the newcomer. There are LOTS of bells and whistles that allow total control of the virtual universe. The good news is, you don't need to use 80% of it! Most of what you need to do to build incredible 2D, 3D and VR games is easy to master when you learn the foundation of how Unity works.

This class teaches you HOW to use Unity, through hands on actual game building!

Each week we will drive deeper into the concepts of game building while building an actual #d First Person game. The game is a simple version of a maze you must escape from, while collecting points for gathering coins along the way. After finishing this course, you will be able to do extensive customization to make this into anything you want and share it with your friends (the code is free to keep and use)

We will go over the concepts of graphics, 3D positioning, Game Objects, Components, Hierarchy, Game Design, Scripting, Build and Testing, References, Game Canvas, Colliders, Physics, etc etc. It's all within these 10 weeks! You will Do the concepts on your own computer in your own game, true learning by doing!

While we do use C# scripting, it is NOT necessary that you know how to code. The scripts themselves are provided in entirety. That way you can see how more advances scripting works without the steep learning curve involved in writing from scratch. You will even be shown some expert tips on how to write code without writing code! (yes, it is possible!)

These classes do build on themselves, each one picking up from the week before, but if you fall behind or miss a class or two, don't worry! every session is recorded and I am available between classes for special assistance as necessary. My commitment is that you learn how to do this!

Basic Concepts:
   3D means movement and view in 3 dimensions: width, heights, and depth
   First Person means you are the player, the camera sees what you would see if you were inside the game
   Unity is a gaming platform that utilizes a Central Hub, multiple editors, templates, and Visual Studio for coding. 

NOTE: This is a fairly aggressive game build across 10 weeks. Best for those serious about learning!
