Unity Games Developer

[AJWhite1970]

Hi

 

I've had a student hand in some work based on Unity, the games development platform. Not a platform I'm familiar with.

 

Looking for advice from someone who has used it before, it appears to my uneducated brain that Unity is a bit like Scratch or is that an unfair comparison? Do users have to build from the ground up or is there a library of code that can be downloaded and tweaked?

 

They have written a platform game and the question I have to answer is, is it their work or not....

 

TIA

Andrew

given that it is code based they could have copied code from somewhere else but as to how you would check if its copied i'm not sure. Also there are lots of cases where code is copied from other projects, the key is to check that the pupil understands the code, have them explain what action the code causes and maybe have them alter some code to change the behaviour of something.

Also if the game is in the style of another game such as mario or sonic try seeing if anyone is providing code for those types of games.
