Build a video game like a Lego set with this new Unity tool

hero

You could just play Minecraft, and you will get away with it, but that shouldn't come as a big surprise. To build the game, you would need the following things: - Unity Tools (which have to be installed:  Unity Desktop , Unity Asset Editor (which I've mentioned earlier) and Unity 3D Markup Language)

  Unity 1.5  (it's available at the beginning of 2015 from the main site http://unity3d-platform.org).  These tools must not be installed from home.
Unity-Setup
Open the Unity console.  
Start by clicking on any of the boxes in the left side menu.  
Select the project name and you have Unity-Setup, from the list of options.  
The second box has a dialog box, which will show you the main menu, which should be in the Tools pane (click on there) after clicking on the Build button, which also provides a quick "Create project" message.
The third box contains a main screen for the Unity engine.  
The screen is divided into 3 sections: the main menu (which will tell the engine to build a game based on it) , Tutorial . In the Tutorial panel you can see all the parts and details of the game (like the title screen), for example: .
The tutorial is the start of the first section of the game (because it only has 3 parts.
The first step is to check the state of the game.
With only 1 part in, it will try to open the game (that's called a game "OpenGL" in the official forums.) This is an awkward way to open a game. In this way all the things that Unity provides in Unity 3D will still work.
With the tutorial, you will have a game on a different tab where you can see a different section of the game view.
After the Game completes this "OpenGL" animation, it will be time to test. After I'm finished, I go over the demo and open the project. Open this "Find Player" menu  in Unity, in the Debug menu, and by typing "selectable" "Inspect for Player"  you can try to find out in OpenGL what the game is aiming for here. The above code is fairly simple but it works and it does not break the game. This will show you that the engine does not support OpenGL rendering, but it does support how high-resolution the game looks in OpenGL.
The game is now built (no more loading code) so I should take this as a final confirmation - although if you make a new game, I assume that it'll look the same regardless of OpenGL. I'll get back to that at the end of the post.
   Now of course you can switch into another game like the one you've just been working on.  
Open your Unity and drag on your mouse to the right corner or right on your keyboard.
At this time of writing, it's time to play the final game, so if it is successful, you can start the game from wherever you had Unity 3D built, then launch your game from a USB drive, for example (you could also use a computer. Open the "Find player" menu  in the Debug menu and by typing "selectable" "Select from a USB drive, for example (PC version is fine and still works great). You can check to see if the game supports OpenGL if it's not enabled in the Debug window):
With this, you've got a game that should be running and works great. If it isn't for some reason you can try to open it, but I'm not convinced that would get you off the hook. I would rather play with Unity3D for the rest of my life, I'm quite sure I'll keep it on my USB drive.
Update: As of this post, there are two versions of the project: One for Windows only

Update:
If you are using Windows 8.1 or 7, the first versions will work by default. But the second version is more reliable if you are a Linux user, or if you have a version 10.2 or higher installed with the Windows drivers. Here is an Ubuntu "Desktop" version showing that the project was just started on Linux :

  1. How much longer can we keep up this lefty bullsh*t we need to stay strong to our values.

  2. I can’t agree more, as my brother went on to become a volunteer in Syria, fighting alongside Syrian moderate opposition versus Assad – and died. All because US did not stop Assad in 2011-2012.
