Unity Game Development (5cr)

Objectives (course unit)

This course will introduce you to the basic usage of the Unity game engine. Game development requires multiple different skills, while game engines can also be used for many purposes. For example, level designers may use Unity for creating stages for the game, games artists import art and 3D models they've created into Unity, and programmers write scripts to make the games created with Unity to work in the intended way. You don't necessarily need to study to become an expert in each of these fields, and can instead specialize in a specific set (or sets) of skills.
