Visual Studio Tools for Unity!

For over 3 weeks we can finally enjoy UnityVS (now Visual Studio Tools for Unity) which is available to everyone for free!

And what does it mean for developers?
Well.. It's mean that Visual Studio has now better integration with Unity.
For example now we can attach VS to Unity and our debug code.
With VS we have also code snippets, wizards and other useful tools.

Previously UnityVS cost 99$ for personal license and for 299$ for professional one.
But now.. When Microsoft acquired SyntaxTree.. This plug-in is available for free.

You can now download it from Visual Studio Gallery 

• Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Unity
• Visual Studio 2012 Tools for Unity
• Visual Studio 2013 Tools for Unity

More information you can find here: Visual Studio Blog
Documentation for Visual Studio Tools for Unity is over here: Documentation

XML with Linq - how to save and load those files?! [Unity3D]

Recently I was fighting with saving and loading XML files using Linq which was quite odd.. Especially when this make you headache..

Some of you may not even think about it when you have some small projects but in bigger one.. Data serialization might be real challenge. I was doing some research for dealing with it and I found 2 most common methods: 

• Unity Serialization, which work automatic with just adding [SerializeField] over variable or class
• Writing own serializer and save data to XML, JSON or any other file

First I was thinking that the first method might be good for me but suddenly... Wild "I'm not this type of guy" appear.. And that mean that I have to know what's going on in project so I start digging and looking for information about dealing with XMLs... :P

Input Reader [Unity3D] - Updated!

So InputReader was updated to read individual joystick axes.
This should work with multiple controllers at the same time. (hope so!)

Unfortunately Unity does not allow to create or modify axes from code so you have to manually add axes to InputManager... (link to example below)

New InputReader is [here].

And example of InputManager with individual axes is [here] (simply copy this to ProjectSettings/ in your project).

Input Reader [Unity3D]

I'm just working over my customizable input manager and the first thing that was a little though was reading input from keyboard. So I just wrote one and I hoped that it will be helpful.

So here you can find that script in my public repository [InputReader]

Learning new things

Night is a time when we have a lot of energy and head full of ideas.. But did we do any of those ideas? Or did we use that energy to do things? Or we just go sleep with thought that we will do something tomorrow?

Recently I can't sleep.. And when I say "I can't sleep" I really mean I can't... :P
And I don't know why.. But I don't like to stay in place and do nothing.. So I started to looking for something new what I could learn by myself.

I have made some stuff in Unity3D for over a year and I have seen some crazy thing that my friend done in his game engine called Barok Engine and I falled in love with his water...

Water in Barok Engine

It's so.... Beautiful... It's more real than real water.. It's... There is no words for that water.. It's so cool..
So one night I have played with a Barok for an hour or two... Messing with stuff around the scene.. Painting water and trying to do something useful... And when the sun rise I was so tired that I finally fall asleep.

UMCS Tournament and Junior ITAD

Last week we (Lublin GameDev group) have been on 2 events that took place on UMCS.

On first we only showed our games but we have not seen much interest in playing them... I think it's because they came to watch the tournament of league of legends...

But besides that.. We had an interview about creating games :)
