About

In this six-week workshop, you'll explore player movement, camera placement, animation, enemies, traps, graphics, and user interface, all within the Unity game engine. Unity allows developers to create, launch, and grow games for a variety of platforms. It's used by many top game developers, including Disney and Electronic Arts. 

You'll end the series with your own game that you can keep working on, or keep playing with your friends and family.
