***New Edition, for Unity 2017*** Why this book can help you to Create Multi-player Games, Procedural Levels and Boost the Performance of your Games Creating your own game can be very intimidating at the start, and quite often, regardless of your experience with games, it is sometimes difficult to find the time and motivation to get over the first barriers. Maybe you are a teacher or a parent trying to motivate your student or child to get into coding, but with no previous programming or game development experience; maybe you are a hobbyist who would love to create simple games and share them with your friends; maybe you are a student who would like to learn more about C# or game development, but you just don't know where to start or what resources to use; you may be wondering: "How can I start to create my games if I have no experience of coding", or "this game engine is so complex that I just don't know where to get started". This is quite common, and you can easily overcome these issues with a step-by-step approach that gets you to progressively develop and use your skills. This is the approach that I have used successfully over the past years to take students from no knowledge of coding or game development to good levels of proficiency in Unity and coding. Of course, it takes some time and dedication; however, by following the techniques and suggestions described in this book, I can promise you that you will progress, regardless of your background, and become more comfortable with Unity and coding. Content and structure of this book In this book, the fourth book in the series, you will learn to create a simple network game, generate levels procedurally, and optimize the performance of your game. This book can be read as a standalone (you don't need to have read the previous books in the series, although it may help) and focuses on four aspects: procedural level creation, database access, multi-player networked games, and code and project optimization (i.e., memory and speed).The main idea behind this book is to save you some headaches when you need to maintain your code or expand your game, and to help you to find the time to actually code your game, by explaining simple and effective ways and best coding and organizational practices that you can use easily to create more code (and games) in less time with less stress and more fun. The content of each chapter is as follows: Chapter 1 explains how you can create procedural levels, using arrays, text files, XML files, or images, and avoid spending a lot of time creating your scene manually. Chapter 2 explains how you can read and write data from/to a database through Unity to save and update user preferences. Chapter 3 explains how to create a simple (but fun) network tank game that can be played by two remote players. Chapter 4 explains advanced techniques to boost the performance of your game, and to make your code and project easily maintainable. Chapter 5 provides answers to frequently-asked questions. The book includes: Step-by-step activities. Challenges at the end of each chapter. Quizzes. Code solutions for each chapter. Cheat-sheets (i.e., shortcuts, best practice, etc.) that you can download. After buying the book, you also get access to the author, if you have any question, and to plenty of free add-ons worth over $100 exclusively made available to you (e.g., member area with weekly updates, over 25 tutorials (video and text), cheat sheets, discounted paperback copies, and much more!)

Solve your C# Headaches with this BookWhether you are new to C# or a seasoned developer just starting with Unity, you may find it difficult to use C# in Unity because: You are new to C#. You already have some coding experience in C# but you may find that many concepts in Unity (e.g., components) are different from working in straight C# code. You have started coding in C# but you would like more examples specific to C# with Unity, including advanced features.The thing is, regardless of the game that you want to create with Unity, if you want to harness the power of this game engine you will need to understand C#. Use this in-depth Resource to Truly Master C# and UnityYou may be able to "slap" some code together to get the job done, but you may wish you could understand the code in more depth and be able to come-up with your own code that scales-up painlessly; and this makes sense because if you truly want to create code that is efficient, scalable, and that leverages all the features available in Unity, you will probably need to learn C# in more depth, but also to understand how it can be combined to Unity's built-in libraries properly.There are plenty of resources out there; however very few explain C# in the context of Unity; and although they may provide code solutions, they may not give in-depth explanations on the C# concepts and the design ideas behind the code, or explain how the code can be optimized, so that you can avoid issues linked to memory or maintainability down the line.This is the reason why I have created this book. The idea behind its design is to provide a resource for different types of readers (i.e., beginner, intermediate or advanced programmers), to explain C# concepts in-depth, in the context of Unity, and to provide practical information and step-by-step instructions.This book was created to answer frequently-asked questions about C# programming for Unity. It includes over 300 pages of step-by-step instructions to help you become more proficient in C# for Unity. After reading this book, you should be able to (1) Understand C# and Object-Oriented Programming in-depth, (2) apply these concepts in Unity and implement common game mechanics through the built-in classes available in Unity, and (3) optimize your code so that it is easy to maintain. Find the Solution to your Problems in this 300-page GuideAfter using this book you will be able to solve your C# headaches. Each chapter can be read independently so that you can find and apply the solutions to a specific problem immediately. Chapter 1 explains C# concepts in depth so that you can become proficient in C# programming and Object-Oriented concepts (e.g., inheritance, constructors, polymorphism, overloading, overriding, etc.) Chapter 2 shows you how to code and debug C# scripts along with some best practices that will keep your code clean and bug-free. Chapter 3 explains key concepts in linear algebra so that you can understand and use vectors in Unity (e.g., dot products for vision). Chapter 4 acts as a cook book where you will find sections that explain how key (and frequently used) methods and C# classes can be employed to improve your gameplay, and you can go directly to the section that you need for your game (e.g., audio, detection, user-inputs, reading files, etc) and find both explanations and code examples that you can use immediately. Chapter 5 shows you how to optimize your code and to structure it so that it is easier to maintain using component-based programming, design patterns and useful structures such as delegates or coroutines. Chapter 6 answers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) related to C#.If you want to solve your C# programming headaches and to really understand how C# and Unity work together effectively
