Unity is the most popular game engine to date and is loved by beginners and experts alike. It's the easiest way to create cross-platform games with an intuitive — but very powerful — editor that brings your game ideas to life while allowing you to focus on the gameplay.

This book will guide you through how to use Unity. While building three playable games, you'll learn all about GameObjects and Prefabs, how to handle input, build user interfaces, light your scenes, use pathfinding and AI, control cameras, animate your characters and scenes and write C# scripts to control the action. Along the way, the book will also introduce you to some neat techniques to ensure your games perform in the most efficient way.
