Desenvolvimento de jogos digitais com Unity: uma introdução

Abstract

This Final Course Project presents the development of a project focused on introducing digital game development using the Unity engine. The main objective of this work is to report the learning experience of an Information Technology student while exploring fundamental concepts of game design and game programming, even though this content is not directly included in the course curriculum. To achieve this goal, a test game was developed in a 2D top-down style, featuring basic mechanics such as character movement, attack system, collision detection, animation control, and scene transitions. The development process enabled the practical application of concepts such as object-oriented programming in C#, use of the Unity Input System, animation management through the Animator, 2D physics handling, and debugging techniques. The project demonstrates that game development can be an effective approach to strengthening programming skills, computational logic, problem-solving abilities, and autonomous learning through practical experimentation with new technologies.
