Preface

Unity is a very flexible and high-performance game engine. It allows you to build small – to large-scale enterprise video games. It is designed to promote rapid development and clean, pragmatic design and lets you build high-performing, elegant games quickly. The main aim of this book is to teach you how to implement complete user interface systems that can interact with all other parts of your game. The book is structured in recipes, so the expert user can read them in any order that they like. But for those who are still learning, it can be read in order, as it guides you from the basic topics to advanced features that can be developed within the UI. Furthermore, the book often refers to the relation between the player and the UI. In fact, this is a very important factor to take into consideration in order to design and implement a UI that feels suitable and ultimately create a successful game.
