- Unity with the C# programming language
- Phaser with the JavaScript programming language
- Unreal Engine with the C++ programming language
In this session we'll explore some of the basics behind creating games with the Unity game development framework and the C# programming language. We'll use free media assets from the Unity Asset Store when building a game.
