Game Development with Unity

Abstract

Most of us have built our own game engine in one form or another. If you are a programmer and you build games, then it is like a rite of passage. I have done it. In fact, I have done it a few times. 2D-game engines based on Core Animation, both 2D and 3D engines based on OpenGL and OpenGL ES, the list goes on. I love making my own engines. They do exactly what I need them to do, no more and no less. The downsides: it takes a long time to write your own engine and unless you make the exact same kinds of games over and over again, you will be spending a long time adding features to your engines to match your new game designs. It is often hard to see this happening to yourself because writing game engines is fun!
