To get the most out of this book

You will need at least Unity 2021.1 and Inky 0.12.0. All code examples have been tested on Windows OS. However, they should work with future releases of both Unity and Inky.

Chapter 10, Chapter 11, and Chapter 12 include Unity projects. When using Unity projects from GitHub, remember to be patient as Unity rebuilds files when opening a project for the first time and to always open the SampleScene scene in each project to see the final code.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
