Unity Game Development Workshops

This repository contains the project files and materials for a series of game development workshops built with Unity 2022.3.24f1 (LTS).

The workshops are structured progressively, covering core Unity concepts such as:

• Scene setup and project structure
• GameObjects and Components
• Input handling
• Physics and collisions
• Prefabs
• UI basics
• Basic scripting in C#
• Build and deployment workflow

Each workshop builds on previous concepts and is designed to be practical and hands-on.

Requirements

Before cloning the project, make sure you have:

• Unity Hub
• Unity Editor 2022.3.24f1 (LTS)
• Git installed

You must use the same Unity version to avoid serialization or compatibility issues.

---

Getting the Project

Option 1 --- Clone via Git (Recommended)

git clone https://github.com/ADM2005/GameDevWorkshops2026.git

Then:

1. Open Unity Hub
2. Click Add
3. Select the cloned project folder
4. Make sure Unity Hub selects 2022.3.24f1
5. Open the project

Unity will reimport assets on first launch. This may take a few minutes.

---

Option 2 --- Pull Updates (If You Already Cloned)

Inside the project folder:

git pull

After pulling:

• Open Unity (or let it recompile if already open)
• Allow scripts and assets to reimport

Project Structure

Assets/
    Scripts/
    Scenes/
    Prefabs/
    Materials/
ProjectSettings/
Packages/

• Assets/ contains all game content.
• ProjectSettings/ stores Unity configuration.
• Packages/ manages Unity packages and dependencies.

The .gitignore is configured for Unity and common IDEs, so generated files (Library, Temp, etc.) are excluded.

---

Branching (Optional)

If the workshops are split into stages, branches may be structured as:

• main → Final version
• workshop-01 → Intro scene setup
• workshop-02 → Player movement

Participants can switch branches using:

git checkout workshop-02

---

Troubleshooting

Project won't open? - Confirm you are using Unity 2022.3.24f1.

• Try closing Unity and reopening via Unity Hub.

Compilation errors after pull? - Close Unity

• Delete the Library/ folder
• Reopen the project (Unity will regenerate it)

---

Notes for Participants

• Do not commit the Library/, Temp/, or Build/ folders.
• Always pull before starting a new session.
• If conflicts occur, ask the workshop instructor before resolving them manually.
