WHAT HAS CHANGED?
Unity releases new versions of the Unity Editor frequently, and in this update, we have migrated all course materials to Unity Version 6.1 (6000.1.1f1). All students are required to use this version as a minimum, though they can install later releases as they become available at their discretion.
As part of this comprehensive update, we have reviewed and updated the following elements (where relevant):
- Lesson text pages (new screenshots, descriptions, etc.)
- Lesson text "Work-With-Me" exercises (new screenshots, descriptions, and v6.1 project files)
- Lesson instructional videos
- Lesson teacher guides
- Activity Instructions and Activity Solution Guides
- Recreated all "starter" and "solution" projects using Unity 6.1
- Quizzes, tests, and answer key PDFs
- Activity rubrics
The syllabus and pattern of chapters, lessons, content, and skills remains unchanged; we have simply ensured the course now natively supports the current version of the Unity environment. In some cases, this means a new way of doing things (e.g. replacing the old Input Manager with the new Input System or supporting Visual Studio Code as an option alongside Visual Studio Community). But the course is otherwise fundamentally the same experience.
