HOW TO DEVELOP MOBILE GAME DEVELOPMENT USING UNITY PLATFORM

Mobile-Games-Development

We all love games! Don’t we? Ever thought how you mobile app games get developed. Well! Here is everything that you need to know about the mobile app development. Unity game development has been reaching new height as far as the popularity is concerned. Whether it is 2D game or 3D game development, most of the mobile app developers are using unity platform to develop high quality games which is providing brilliant user experiences.

What is Unity Platform?

Unity is a cross-platform engine that has an in-build integrated development environment. It has been developed by the Unity Technologies and is used to develop 2D and 3D games, desktop platforms, web plugins, consoles etc. Unity is the combination of following three things:

  • It includes a game engine that helps the game to be played and tested on various environments.
  • It includes an IDE where different piece of the game is combined to produce a graphical view. You can even control the environment using functions.
  • The third one is the code editor which is used to write the code

So when you have all the designs of the game, you will use the tools to combine the graphics, animations and sounds to produce runnable games with addictive features in different environments. This is the best part of the unity as it is cross-platform; it can run on all the platforms like iPads, Windows or android.

Game app development is entirely different from the mobile app development. It requires lot of virtual environment with virtual objects and virtual backgrounds. Hence, it needs lots of tools, techniques and technologies to create a real-time real experience. Just providing the right tools are not enough for the success of the mobile game, you need to create a gaming environment which will create fun, engage, lure and attract the customers. Here are some tips to develop games using unity platform.

Begin with simplicity

To start with, let me start by saying that game development is not an easy task. It requires lots of patience, skill and time but it get very easier if you get the basic right. To have a strong foundation, it is necessary to take baby steps. If you pick a large project in the initial stages then it may happen that you keep working on the project for years and still your project remain uncompleted. So take a small project and then only move on to bigger projects.

Don’t get frustrated with the errors

It is vital to not get frustrated and irritated with the errors. This is because errors will always come; nobody is perfect; you just have deal with them using the documentation provided by Unity.

Manage the Garbage collection to improve the performance

When there are unused objects, these are dumped into the garbage collector. This reduces the overall performance of the game and this effect can be clearly seen on the mobile phones that does not have good hardware and resources. To prevent this, you must create objects that will be used only when required and will be removed when not required.

Profilers must be used

To find that whether there is any memory leak or problem in the garbage collector, profilers are used to detect the problems in advance. The free version of the unity does not include these features however there are several third party tools available for the developers. It runs the game on the actual devices instead of emulators and simulators.

Abstract classes and Interfaces

The game development has various issues like code duplication etc. To manage these types of issues, abstract classes and interface must be used. One must be aware about how to use them to prevent code duplicity.

Test driven approach

When a game is developed, testing of each and every script must be done to ensure that your game is bug free and it does not crash when used to various platforms. Unity has testing tools that make the entire testing process very convenient.

Use git, meta files and force text

GIT is a very good control system that has rich features used to preserve the code. Force text is used to fix the conflicts in assets and scenes. To check whether a file is linked or not, meta files must be used. It outputs the list of all assets.

Conclusion

Unity has been successfully used in the development of games and will continue to do so in the future.

If you are searching for an awesome game app development company, who can provide you quality services, then Winklix is a brilliant choice. We have an excellent team who can develop games whether it is 2-D or 3-D. Contact us and we will help you in building your app.

THE REALITY OF BLOCKCHAIN

blockchain app developer winklix

There has been a lot of hype regarding the Blockchain. I have read about the blockchain removing the poverty and making the world corruption free with a lot of easy, but there is demography who has not heard about this revolutionary technology. Facebook, Flipkart, Instagram has millions of users but the general population does not know anything about the backend technology like database. Same is with the blockchain, everyone has heard of it, everyone has opinion about it but no one knows the backend process.

However, there is a very good question revolving now-a-days which is “What are the things which blockchain can do and other technology can’t?” Is it fair to compare this new technology to the past technologies?

Concept of Blockchain

 

The blockchain has a very fascinating concept of data immutability i.e. data is unchangeable. This is achieved by using digital signatures and hash functions. These hash and digital signatures were defined by the informational Technology Act of India in the year 2000. More often than not the blockchain are equated with the distributed database and software development frameworks. Blockchain are not just database, they are more than that. Blockchain is peer to peer systems of electronic cash in which network timestamps are used are done by hashing the current work. This record is immutable i.e. it cannot be changed without redoing the same work.

Blockchain vs. bitcoin technology

 

Recently big chain made the headlines for all the bad reason like money laundering, evasion of tax, financing of terrorism and organized crime. Its comparison is not good as the actual money; diamonds, gold were also used for doing wrong activities. So it is not good, as far as the blockchain is concerned.
The basic idea behind the blockchain is that it runs on a set of global computers. It requires huge computational power and resource to mine the bitcoin and yes! Anyone can mine the bitcoin in expense of the resources like processor speed and memory. However, it will take a huge amount of time to generate the bitcoin. That is why supercomputers are used to generate them due to their high speed and memory.

Everything about the private blockchain

 

In today’s times, there exists several blockchain in the world. However, anyone cannot be a part of the private blockchain. These private blockchain does not require computational resources like processor and memory. It requires permission to have access and control over it. Let us understand this concept using multi-chain which has 8 types of permissions explained below:

  • Connect: This permission is used to connect with the other nodes and helps to view the content
  • Send: This permission assists in sending the sign inputs of signature
  • Receive: This permission assists in receiving the outputs of transactions
  • Issue: This permission facilitates to issue the assets like transaction sign inputs which are used to create new native assets.
  • Create: This is used to create sign inputs which create streams
  • Mine: This is used to sign coinbase transaction metadata
  • Activate: This is used to change the connect, send, receive permissions
  • Admin: This is used to change permissions of issue, mine, activate and admin

There are many popular blockchain available in the market like Ethereum, BigChainDB, Chain, Hyperledger Iroha, Corda, Credits, Domus Tower Blockchain, Sawtooth Lake, Elements, Eris, Quorum, HydraChain, Hyperledger Fabric, Stellar, Hyperledger Multichain, Openchain, and Symbiont Assembly.

Use case of blockchain

There are various use cases of good blockchain. Some of the use cases are as follows

  • Insurance Sector: In the insurance sector, blockchain is used to verify KYC data, life insurance, national policy, agent information registry and claim records.
  • Banking Sector: There are various use cases of blockchain in the banking sector. For example it is used in asset tracking and registry, multiparty aggregation, financial systems, record keeping etc.
  • Government use case: Government has been involved in using this technology for maintaining copyright health records, regulation records, authentication of records, academic records verification, vehicle records, maintaining identity documents, police and court records etc.
  • Other use-cases: It is widely used in Corporate finance book-running,  Asset backed virtual currencies, Regulatory reporting, Clearing & settlement, Securities settlement, Depository receipts, Escrow, Secure documents, Supply Chain Management, Fund portfolio management, Voting, Payment gateway, Peer-to-peer trading, Securities servicing, Identity management, Securities trading, Auctions and Contract management.
 
 

Conclusion

Blockchain are very interesting hot-topic in the recent time. But it has been associated with many malpractices but we should skip the hype and this technology must be given a good chance as it can do wonders. This technology must be given chance because technologies before the blockchain were vulnerable to malpractices. It is not as if only after the launch of blockchain, frauds and other bad practices are there. I believe that this technology have enough power to rule the future and will provide a safer platform than before in the future.
