Game Development Reference
In-Depth Information
The Help menu (Figure 1-14 ), as expected, will provide you with the version number and license
information of your Unity installation. In this menu, you can find access to the three main pieces
of Unity documentation: the Unity manual, where you can find information on the workings and
concepts behind much of the Unity workflow and features; the Reference Manual, where you
can get specific information on Unity components; and the Scripting Manual, where you can find
Unity-specific API classes, examples, and scripting tips. Additionally, the menu supplies links to
the Unity Forum and Answers (when you just need a quick solution) and a means of reporting
a bug should the need arise.

Getting Started
Each of Unity's “views” comes with its own options and settings. Most are along the top of the
viewport or panel, but there are a few that are located at the bottom. Once again, this is just a quick
overview to familiarize you with some of their key features.
If you didn't choose to download and install the sample scene, AngryBots, with your Unity install,
