Hi! This is great introduction to Unity in general! |
|
I just read your comments on my Pull Request and yes, I would also recommend you adding a table of contents at the start of the page like i did! |
…, organized links in reference, added table of contents
|
I bolded keywords in my doc and also added a table of contents section. I think it's a good idea to add a section to talk about how to start making games at the end, to transition readers to start making something useful with Unity. However I think it would be kind of broad to talk about how to start making games in Unity in general. And there will be a lot stuff to write about which will make this doc very long. So I think I will provide links to tutorial video series that demonstrates how to make simple 2D and 3D games in Unity. |
|
Great! I think referring the readers to some videos is a great idea here! We can just keep this page clean and only focus on some basics. |
|
I've reread your page after you modified and I left some comments on some other parts. Could you take a look and let me know what you think |
|
I added a section for how to get started with making your first Unity game and provided video links for making 2D and 3D games. |
|
I notice that you cannot see my newly-added comments, so I attached the screenshots here. I reviewed your new changes, it seems that you fixed the first and second comment that I mentioned, which is great! I also like your separate section for how to get started with making your first Unity game. It makes the whole page more structural. By saying these, could also take a look at my comments in the third screenshot? |
|
ohh I see. Yeah I agree with you that the links in reference are a bit messy, I will fix that |
|
I updated the reference links. Please have a look and let me know how they look now |

Maybe make "Manage licenses" bold here? It will be easier for reader to catch the keywords for clicking.
Same for the icons and other buttons that you mentioned below

Do you want to name this page as Unity? Or do you have a better name for this?
From my understanding, this page introduce the basics of Unity, so you probably want to name it Introduction to Unity basics or something like that.

yeah your right. I updated it to "Introduction to Unity Basics"

For the reference here, all the links seem a bit messy. Would you consider change it to hyperlinks attached to the your sentence in the brackets?

I updated the format
|
One last thing before merging this PR, do we need to add the name of this page to the readme file on the wiki? |
|
I'm not sure if we need to add the name to the readme file. I will read the handout again. If I can't find information about it, I will ask on piazza |
|
I think it's in the FAQ
|
|
yea ok I just read this. But i see that the Readme says "potential topics", so I'm not sure if it is an updated version of the topics and whether we should update here. But I will add the page name here anyways I think Tech_Stacks.md is more up to date, so I will add my page name and link here |
|
I added the page name in readme and Tech_Stacks.md |
|
Great! I think there is no conflicts with the main branch and it is ready to merge! |
|
ok! i will merge the pull request now |
