A Game manager manages the game-state of the game. A game Engine provides optimized ways for the game to be played on various devices. - graphics, controls. Unity is probably a favored one right now. You simply add the scripts to the game objects and they do as they're programmed.<br><br>My question concerns how I must add the game-manger to the game/ project.<br>I must def start it up in an awake() method, but who's? Maybe it can belong to the 'main Camera' &nbsp;-the canvas, the 'event system' ? Is there a preference?<br><br>thanks

Hi
I have a good start to a new device game, window, game objects all ready.
How is it best done to allow for a game manager? Attach a new script to the canvas? use onAwake to fire it up? I mainly need it for global data during the entire game.
How does a different script access this global object? Maybe I can add it to a hidden game object, with getter and setter methods?
Thanks

How should I best add a Game Manager at the start of a Unity game project?

Game programming is the software development of video games. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering as well as specialization in simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input. Like other software, game development programs are generated from source code to the actual program by a compiler. Source code can be developed with almost any text editor, but most professional game programmers use a full integrated development environment (IDE).

Game Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Unity is a cross-platform game engine where you can create and grow real-time 3D games, apps, and experiences for entertainment, film, automotive, architecture, and more.

Unity

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
