Week 01: Unity Essentials Day 1
Unit 1 · Unity Fundamentals · Wed Jan 28
Overview
The semester opens by building the toolchain from nothing. Composers install Unity Hub and the Unity Editor, set up a GitHub account and the course repository, and begin Unity Learn’s Unity Essentials pathway — the editor, scenes, GameObjects, components, and the project structure that every later week assumes. Course notes and deliverables are written in Markdown, so the first hour also covers the basics of the format.
