Unity Projects
Unity is arguably the fastest game engine in terms of getting started. All you need is some basic C# knowledge and you can begin to develop games with Unity. Add to this that Unity is completely free for non-commercial and small independent developers. The fact that you can also quickly deploy to almost any platform imaginable (iOS, Android, Windows, Linux and Mac) and you can see why Unity is so popular.Take a look at these beginner Unity projects. They are written to help you get started from absolutely zero knowledge and gradually increase in complexity up to complete working games. If you are brand new to all forms of programming, be sure to study these beginner C# tutorials alongside these Unity projects.
