What is the unity game engine

What is the unity game engine we are discussing a little bit about the game development? I have talked about how you can get started with game development in this article we'll be talking about what actually is a game engine and few components that game engine take care for ourself so this is gonna be a pretty interesting movie let's get started

so before I go ahead and discuss What is the unity game engine is and what does for us I have to go a little bit back and talk about how computers and how mobile phone works and especially the operating system for that now let's talk about the computers at the soul heart of the computer

What is Unity?

if I just say that computer just work on zeros and 1 or simply the low voltage or high voltage you can understand that that is pretty obvious we have learned that in the school or maybe high school as well but what would be typical if I would say hey this is the Machine which works on a high voltage and low voltage and all you have to do is write a hello world there or just play a movie there

 I know this is going to be a pretty difficult task but we all the time designs such apps and it is so much easy now with the abstraction layer that has been created for us so that we can design some cool players like the article an article LAN or VLC or maybe a Quick Time Player and everything like that and similarly if I go on to the mobile if I give you some chips and say hey you know what you have to utilize camera with that but look how so much easy it is to code an app in Android or iOS or Windows whatever it may be that you just have a simple device in your hand and with some touch screen and you are able to open a microphone or maybe a camera or maybe aGPS setting

UNITY FOR CONSOLE

so the layer of abstraction is so much good now you might be wondering why I am saying all of these things I'm just saying all of this to set a stage for you now a lot of people think that  unity game engine designing would be so much daunting it much it must be so much scary but it's not actually it's rather much more simple what makes it simple is just like in the Android it's theAndroid operating system on which you can design your app similarly we do have some game engines which makes our job so much easier but again it's again a rather bit more advanced

UNITY: THE GAME ENGINE FOR MOBILE

then the  unity game engine development but again its much simpler with the help of game engines so what are those game engines now game engines are simply an abstract layer which handles a lot of tasks for you like for example inputs physics networking a lot of things which we'll be discussing in this article so what are the popular game engines now some of them are like up the cry engine or the source engine or the indie game developers favorite unity3d these are some game engines which you can utilize but again before decide to decide the best game engine for yourself one tip I would like to give yourself now make sure that you don't look for the game that was designed in that engine, for example, Far Cry might be designed in the cry engine and you might be saying heyI'm gonna design

UNITY: THE GAME ENGINE FOR MOBILE

a Call of Duty What is the unity game engine I'mgonna choose this engine no you shouldnot be doing that because most of the engines are really specialized in one orthe other thing but most of them are cold-heartedly same and for your first game or that I would like to call as an beta game it is completely okay to gowith any engine but make sure that youunderstand the pricing of that gameengine some of them are in fact most of them are completely paid so you have topay a little bit of the money to usethis game engines but again some do have other payment options like for example unity3d has a very interesting gaming and rather pricing structure so withthat if you aren't more than $10,000 then you have to pay certain amount tothe unity3d but again we can talk aboutthe pricing structure later on but thisshould be your first point because you are about to design a crucial game and you have to stuck with your game engine ok quite a lot of stuff with that now let's go a head and talk a little bit about what kind of things the game engine handles for your self

now the first thing that the game engine does is handling the event and the polling that is just the input so, for example, you might be having a lot of input when you play the game, for example, you have keyboards you have Mouse your joystick access changes a little bit and just like that so we use majorly a mapping table now all of the game engine called that with a different name but usually it's the mapping table in which certain kind of input is injected and based on that input we just utilize what would be the position of the player or what would be the axis that we have to rotate or do we have the shot a fire or we have to trigger some script to trigger


UNITY FOR DESKTOP
STRATEGY, PUZZLE, ACTION, SANDBOX AND MORE

The shot or maybe reload the stuff and just like that now this is all handled in the input stuff and again we don't have to worry a lot about that we just have to call a function or do a quick click and everything is being handled by the unity game engine itself the next thing that game engine handles for ourselves is the 3d graphics now I'm not just talking about the 3d model that you have created in the Photoshop but yes somewhat like that now most of the rendering work of the graphic is done using some advanced and modern tools like Maya or maybe blender again blender is free and Maya is somewhat paid but again we will go may-maybe we can go much more in-depth about the graphics and everything but again it's a little bit different graphics than what you might be designing in the paint and everything yes it heavily uses the Photoshop but again the rendering is pretty much important and that is why you see the 3d games and you can rotate

your guns pretty much here and there and just like this room everything is being created and rendered next thing that our game engine handle for ourselves is the sound engine now most of the game engine comes up with a built-in sound engine but the best part about the sound engine is you don't have to worry about anything because in the usual programming stuff when the one sound actually ends then your next line of code is gonna be working otherwise we have to use multi-threading but again game engine handles all of such things without


a hassle and of course nobody likes a  the unity game engine of call of duty without the nice gunshot sounds or maybe the grumpy voice that they gave again our sound is the most important part of a game it might be simple cling or maybe a simple grumpy voice but again having sound in your game is the most important part next let's talk about the physics is one of the most important part in the game engine now when you design your game you might be having a plane or maybe a ball and you want to drop the ball on the plane now it's not that easy because you have just created an image or a graphic which have no idea our with our real-worldphysics so we have to apply a lot ofbehaviors or physics to that plane or tothat ball we have to say you had a solidobject nobody should pass by through ityou should follow the gravity as wellyou should follow the collision as wellagain we don't have to worry much aboutthem it's just a matter of clicks orcalling a few scripts and game enginehandles all of us all of these thingsfor us now

it's somewhat similar to like calling a microphone like if you want to call the microphone actions you just to call it WebKit or just import somethings and calling audio videos and that's it you have called the microphone similarly we have to utilize the physics and again the more complex the physics and more adjustable it is to the graphics then the game would be much better the next part of the game is nowadays networking now luckily for us we don't have to call up any servers or anything game engine again handles everything in the networking part as well now most of us like to play call of duty or maybe counter-strike maybe your friend is sitting in the States you are in the London and you want to play the game pin him again networking helps us with that now most of the engine nowadays which are coming and in fact in the recent updates for all of the engine

I can say almost 90% or maybe all of them are coming up with the networking capabilities moving put to the next part that is the GUI now you might be thinking we already have a graphics and talks about I talked about that but again a graphic or GUI is a little bit different now the menus that you see on the game are like choosing the options and everything is usually designed in the game itself previously it used to be somewhat like the windows advantage or DirectX advantage but now you feel just right in the game when selecting all those options so the nasty menu bars and the cross buttons are now completely modifiable whether the game engine itself and that gives us a lot of advantage of designing


the game and you just always feel right at the home in the game itself now last but not the least the script now you might be hesitant with the programming but game development cannot be fulfilled without learning some programming skills now I have also discussed in the previous movie that if you already know Swift or something then you can completely move directly in the 2d gaming's and just like that and we have also discussed previously how we can move on to the windows and other stuff let's not talk about that right now if you want to really watch that go ahead watch the previous movie but again scripts are really the most important part and in fact, most of the behaviors that you add to your objects like your machine can a man or maybe a plane maybe your balls are everything done by scripting 'he'snot most of them but really technically it's most of them or all of them but you don't have to very much about that there are a lot of functions

which you which are already built up for you you just have to call them to modify a few variables and there you go so, in fact, most of the behaviors that you would be adding would be highly based on your game engines and again some  the unity game engine like unity uses-sharp some use others there is no such one thing that you really should be focusing like I'm gonna be learning Python and I'm gonna be designing a game, yes you can but I think you would be much more satisfied by the decision and choosing a language once you do a little bit research about your specific game engine what you're looking for and based on that then you can focus upon the programming or where you want to go for example as I have said quite a number of times you have to learn Csharp or the unity and you can design some of them quite good games in the javascript as well but most of them are too DS so again do a little bit of research now

you have a plethora of knowledge about the unity game engine development I think you would be pretty happy with that so go ahead find out your favorite engine have a little bit research on find out what programming language you can utilize to code in that particular game engine is it free is it not and what you will be having with that so with this I would say if you haven't yet do subscribe to my channel if you like this article make sure you hit the like button it is really the motivator for me and make sure that you share it on Facebook Twitter wherever you are and in fact if you want something that me or if you want some article specifically to be created by me or you want to share some knowledge you want me to share some knowledge then drop me a note on theFacebook I'm highly active on theFacebook so drop me a note there I wouldbe waiting for you note in case you justwant to say thanks for this article comment down below or just say a thankson the Facebook with this I'll catch youup in the next artical.
