• Understanding the Game window and its correlation to the Scene window, allowing you to test your game within the engine.
• Exploring the scene Hierarchy, understanding parent-child relations, and organizing your objects using folders for better structure.
• Modifying game objects using the Inspector, where you can adjust properties, set tags, and manage object names.
• Delving into the Transform component and adding other predefined components like RigidBody for physics simulation.
• Familiarizing yourself with the Project window and importing assets into your game folders using the Assets folder.
• Adding materials and textures to 3D objects, and briefly exploring shaders for visual effects.
• Utilizing the Console for debugging purposes and the Profiler for measuring and optimizing your game’s performance.
• Building your game and gaining an overview of the available build options, allowing you to test and distribute your game outside the Unity engine.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of Unity’s interface, asset management, scene manipulation, game object properties, and the basics of testing and building your game.
