Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Unity to create 2D and 3D games and interactive experiences for computers, mobile devices, consoles, and virtual reality headsets. It provides a visual editor combined with C# scripting to design levels, build physics simulations, configure animations, and test gameplay directly inside the editor. Unity also lets you build multiplayer networking, implement in-app purchases, serve mobile advertisements, and export your project to over 25 supported platforms without having to rewrite your core codebase from scratch.
