Development of games and applications in UNITY
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, Unity is something everyone will love!
Want to learn how to develop your own games and apps? Or do you already have the basics or even more advanced knowledge in graphics, sound, video or even programming, but you are still missing a piece of the puzzle of competences for full-fledged development according to your ideas? Do you need to create realistic 3D models, simulations for your work, but don’t have the right tools or a development platform to build on?
What is Unity?
It is a multiplatform game engine (in translation, the “engine” of a game program), but also used in many other entertainment and industrial fields. It is a tool that uses its own media and programming libraries to create 2D and 3D so-called real-time applications (i.e., with rendering in real-time). The company developing this tool boasts its use in various fields, apart from the gaming industry, such as film, architecture, and even manufacturing industries like automotive production and others.
In the previous article in the Technology section, we introduced modern industrial technologies, including Digital Twin. Yes, the technology behind the game engine also offers solutions for implementing this modern industrial technology, see the link here.
Moreover, the creators of the tool chose a very user-friendly licensing policy. Individuals can use the tool completely free of charge up to profits of one hundred thousand dollars in the last 12 months. For companies and individuals with higher profits, paid versions are available. This opens up the path for really anyone. More about licenses on the website here.
How to develop games and apps - Learning Path
By clicking on the following link “HERE”, you will be directed to the study program page. The study program is very professional and free of charge. Everyone can choose their own path according to their ambitions and interests. At the beginning, it is recommended to choose the training path that will guide you through an introduction to the tool, but also introduce you to the business of development and individual professions.
I highly recommend starting the program from the beginning and going through each lesson, for which you will earn experience points. In the lessons, you will encounter practical tasks and challenges, where you will see concrete results and your first games. At the end of each lesson, you will also have a knowledge test and evaluation. The motivational program encourages you to go through all the planned lessons, because after completing them, new libraries for developing 2D and 3D applications will be unlocked. Badges are also awarded based on completed training paths, and for advanced learners, certificates are provided, which can be useful for future professional practice.
To understand algorithms and basic principles, you can try mini-games – for example, Lego games. You can also share the results of your work on the community platform Play, where you can comment on and rate your own and others’ results.
The begginer program starts with the programs:
- Get Started – to familiarize yourself with the purpose and principles,
- Explore – to familiarize yourself with the development environment and tool controls,
- Essential Pathway – for your first steps in development, where you will learn to use the tool, download and install libraries, create and publish your own application,
- Learn – familiarize yourself with the development process and the required competencies for various professions, not just in the gaming industry. As part of the Learn program, you will also set a program for more advanced educational events based on your goals.
Also suitable for science and research
Na své si také přijdou příznivci ve vědy a výzkumu. Existují zde tréninkové cesty pro využití umělé inteligence, v rámci které je mnoho aplikováno mnoho dalších teoretických základů. Nezůstávejte pouze u teorie, ale vyzkoušejte si i vlastní implementaci. Nástroj poskytne velmi dobré výukové i aplikační prostření pro studenty, akademické pracovníky, pracovníky výzkumných a vývojových organizací, ale také jen lidi, kteří jsou zvídavý a rádi tvoří.
Pokud jste už s tréninkovým programem začali, neváhejte pod článkem svoje zkušenosti komentovat, případně poslat Vaše doporučení nebo i případně odkaz na svoje první výtvory 🙂
