Hello guys.
Welcome to the video.
In this one we're going to do something super simple.
We just need to download unity.
If you don't have it yet, these are the steps you need to take to get unity on your computer.
So first we go to Unity Comm.
And over here you'll have to make an account.
And then you'll need to find a button download.
Usually it's in the middle of the screen.
If it's not it's pretty easy to find.
So after you click download it will send you to the page where you have to choose which kind of unit
you want to download.
Also, if you'll have to choose the plan for unity, you can just choose personal and that's it.
You don't need anything else.
So after you've got the unity.
Uh, let me go back real quick.
So after you click this download for windows, it will offer you to install Unity Hub, which I already
have, so I'm not going to install it.
Here in Unity Hub we need to install editor.
So let's click this button over here Install Editor.
And most of the time I recommend to work with the LTS.
Difference between LTS and other version is very simple.
LTS means long term support, which means they support this version for quite a while and they check
for bugs they like, remove misbehaviors and so on.
So basically it says like a stable version and other version is usually new, and there is new features
that might have some bugs in it.
If by the time you completing this course you see there 2023 LTS, then use 2023 LTS.
However, I want to choose the latest version over here because I just want to experiment a bit.
I want to see what it has and if there are some bugs, I'm pretty sure we can deal with them.
But if by the time you learn it by this course, you see there is a 2023 LTS and 2024 not LTS, choose
23 LTS.
All right.
So let's click install.
And here we need to install Visual Studio Community which is used for programming.
This is the software that we're going to use to write our scripts.
Other things here are not so important.
We don't need them right now.
And if we need them later on, we can always install them later on.
So let's just choose Microsoft Visual Studio Community and click continue.
I have to agree to the license terms and click install.
And now I just have to wait for it to finish.
So I'll get back to you when it's done.
Now over here, I have this window with a Visual Studio installer and we need to install it as well.
Let's click continue.
It will take some time, but not that much.
Over here again we have lots of things that you might need in the future.
But now we don't need them.
As of now we only need this game development with unity.
This is the most important for us.
And again I want to say that if in the future you need something from this list, you can always update
the Visual Studio.
So it's not that bad if you make a mistake here.
All right.
So here just make sure you uncheck GitHub Copilot and these things can be checked.
And let's click install.
Well downloading and then install.
While it is working its magic.
We can go back to Unity Hub and make a project that we're going to use for this course.
Let's just go to projects.
Then we need to click New Project over here.
And here we can choose editor version at the top.
Again I'm going to choose the latest one because I want to see the changes.
And this is my first project in 2023.
Let's click it.
Then we're going to just choose 2D core built in because we're going to make a simple 2D game.
We don't need any templates here.
It is very simple to manage.
And then over here all the way down, we have connected to Unity Cloud and use Unity Version Control.
I'm going to uncheck both of them because we don't need them really.
And for the project name I'm going to give it Udemy Course Platformer.
And this is actually full rework of the course I have on the platformer.
So I'm going to mark it as new.
So I know the difference between the old one and the new one.
Then we need to choose location, and I'm going to choose Unity Project courses where I have all of
my courses together.
Okay.
And you can choose folder that is more suitable for you.
Then we're going to click Create Project and it will take some time.
So we'll have to wait.
And this installation will take some time as well.
So let's wait for it.
All right, so I've got Visual Studio installed and open, and for now, I can just close it.
I don't need it.
For now.
Let's go back to unity or it's still making a project.
Okay.
Let's wait.
All right.
Here is my, uh, unity itself with a new project.
If yours looks different, you just need to go to window over here, find layouts and choose two by
three.
So it's going to have, uh, very similar layout.
And then we need to take project and drag it over here.
And we're just going to keep it like that for now.
Also one important step is to uh, sort of connect Visual Studio to the unity.
Usually it is done by default, but sometimes it happens that it will not be connected by default.
So we just have to go to Edit Preferences and double check that you can find button external tools.
And over here you need to choose editor that you want to use.
In our case it's going to be Visual Studio 2022.
And maybe if you're using Mac then you can choose Visual Studio Code.
And then we're going to just click Regenerate Project Files just in case.
Then close it and we're done.
We have our project ready and that's it for this video.
So let's just wrap it up and let's go to the next video.
