Create with Code is one of the basic Unity3D courses to learn the game engine, I put together a little code cheat sheet to help me to find basic parts of the course. As I lately intensified my work with the goal to release my first own game with adds and everything on the Google play store, as well as the Apple app store. In theory, I know all these things, 3D modelling, Photoshop, coding in C# etc… but as I studied to become a Game Producer my knowledge is on a very thin level on these things and focused more on the leadership and economical aspects of game development. There are experts who dedicate their entire life coding or creating and I want them to thrive, so I knew I’ll never be as good as them.
Recently I started to start my own project with the goal to release it as an indie game developer. I went through this course “Create with Code” provided by Unity3D and noticed that I come back to a lot of these lessons for things like “How did Arrays work again?” or “How do I link from the Main menu to the first level?” Therefore I want to post here some of the recaps of the course and where to find it, to refresh my memory. So click on the images and have fun with my Create with Code cheat sheet.
