Overview of this book

Unity is a cross-platform game engine that provides you with powerful but simple-to-use features to solve the most common problems in Game Development, such as rendering, animation, physics, sound, and effects. You’ll learn to use these features to create simple but complete games (and all the nuances needed to handle Unity). Complete with hands-on tutorials and projects, this book will teach you to use the Unity game engine, create C# and visual scripts, integrate graphics, sound, and animations, and manipulate physics to create interesting mechanics for your game. You’ll then code a simple AI agent to challenge the user and work with profiling tools to ensure code efficiency. Finally, you'll work with Unity's AR tools to create AR experiences for 3D apps and games before publishing them to the world. If you are interested in creating impressive, commercial-quality games that are playable on a variety of platforms, then you’ve come to the right place.

In this section, we will explore the following Canvas object concepts:

  • Integrating assets for the UI
  • Creating UI controls

Let’s first start exploring how we can integrate images and fonts to use in our Canvas so that we can integrate them in our UI using the Images and Text UI object types.

Integrating assets for the UI

Before making our UI use nice graphics assets, we need to integrate them properly into Unity. In the following screenshot, you will find the UI design we propose for our game:

On top of that, we will add a Pause menu, which will be activated when the user presses Esc. It will...
