Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, folder names, filenames, and pathnames. Here is an example: “Add the following new Start method to the LevelManager class.”

A block of code is set as follows:

using UnityEngine;
namespace Dragoncraft
{
  public class LevelManager : MonoBehaviour
  {
    private void Start()
    {
    }
  }
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

private void Start()
{
  _initialPosition = transform.position;
  _camera = GetComponent<Camera>();
}

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “In the Inspector view, click on the Add Component button and search for the LevelComponent script.”
