Creating games on Unity

for children 12-17 years old

During the course, the student will get acquainted with the Unity development environment and in the process will create his/her own game, which can be boasted to friends

Unity is a game development environment. With its help, you can create both 2D and 3D projects.
The main advantages of Unity are the presence of a visual development environment and the ability to create games for different platforms: computers, phones and game consoles.

The course covers all the basic concepts of programming, and also includes a number of rather complex concepts for advanced study
of algorithm, programming language, performer, program
console, debugging, error invocation, error types
comments, code-style
variables, their application
data types
comparison operator, logical operators, switch-case
operator loops for, while, do while
iterable object
function, function definition, parameters, event return values
, event handling
arrays, lists
recursion
properties
OOP concepts: class (prototype), object (instance), object methods and fields, constructor
inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism

The course also includes the basics of working with 2D and 3D modeling:
Models (details)
Materials
Particles and emitters
Textures
Shader

Create algorithms for performing tasks using cycles, conditions and functions
Finding and debugging program errors
Designing a program using an object-oriented approach
Building an environment in the editor
Decomposition of projects: from the description of the project to a set of features and a list of steps for implementation

The specifics of creating projects in Unity involves a deep study of the topic of coordinates, which will help students in mastering algebra.
Although the concept of "functions" differs from the one of the same name in mathematics, it will give you the skills to work with constructions similar to those used in mathematics courses.
The concepts of algorithm and performer, as well as working with them, make up an essential part of the OGE/USE exams in computer science. The C# language is included in the list of allowed for use on the Unified State Exam. Although the performers considered in the course differ from those presented in the school curriculum, the experience of compiling algorithms for solving problems is applicable transferred to those studied at school.
Basic knowledge of C# will give a strong push forward while studying at the university in the profile direction. With a good understanding of the language, it will not be a problem to switch to another programming language, especially C-like (C, C++, Java and others).
The acquired skills in Unity will allow you to move on to creating more complex projects, and can serve as an introduction to the profession of Unity developer, game designer or motion designer. In addition, the student will be able to create applications in C#, starting from console and ending with projects on mobile platforms.
The experience of working with 3D models can be developed by switching to specialized modeling programs such as Blender or AutoCAD.
