基于Unity引擎的游戏开发进阶 from Coursera

诸如《Clash Royale》（部落冲突：皇室战争）、《Cross Fire》（穿越火线）之类的手机网络游戏在玩家中非常流行。本门课程《Unity游戏编程进阶》是专项课程游戏编程的第二门课，通过《Unity游戏编程基础》课程，学习者已经具备开发移动平台3D单机游戏的基本能力，然而与次世代画面的网络手游开发仍存在很大差距。《Unity游戏编程进阶》课程重点讲解手机网络游戏的开发，提升游戏的可玩性和游戏的画面效果，优化游戏的性能。

本课程以《Unity游戏编程基础》课程为基础，具体讲解导航与寻路、僵尸AI、逆向动力学等技术的应用，增加游戏的可玩性；讲解全局光照、着色器以及Image Effect等知识点，提升游戏画面效果；讲解Unity Profiler、Unity 性能优化以及Quality设置等相关知识点来优化游戏的性能；讲解如何使用Photon网络引擎包含的PUN(Photon Unity Network)进行Unity网络游戏开发。相比Unity内置的网络工具包，Photon的PUN功能更加成熟、强大、灵活、丰富，在全球拥有数十万开发者。在课程的最后部分，完成本门课程项目《慕课英雄2》：第一人称射击手机网络游戏。

通过本门课程的学习，学习者将对Unity游戏开发有更深层次的理解，能够使用Unity与Photon网络引擎开发3D手机网络游戏，为将来入职游戏行业或进行独立游戏开发奠定优秀的编程基础。

基于unity的高级游戏开发实践

根据学生反馈，本课程是基于Unity引擎的移动网络游戏开发的进阶之选。许多学习者认为课程项目《慕课英雄2》实战性强，能帮助巩固和应用所学知识，尤其是Photon PUN网络引擎的使用，这对于开发多人游戏非常有价值。课程涵盖了导航寻路、AI、IK、全局光照、Shader以及性能优化等多个关键进阶技术点。然而，也有部分学生指出课程内容具有挑战性，即使有基础课程铺垫，某些章节如网络同步和性能优化需要额外投入时间和精力理解和调试。一些评论提到特定Unity版本差异可能带来小问题，但核心概念依然有效。总体来说，这是一门扎实的进阶课程，适合有志于进入游戏行业或独立开发的学习者。

某些细节可能因Unity版本更新而有异。

"跟着课程做的时候，发现我的Unity版本和老师的不完全一样，有些地方需要自己调整一下脚本或设置。"

"老师的代码在最新版Unity里有些警告，但不影响核心功能，自己修复一下就好，问题不大。"

"虽然版本有更新，但课程讲的原理和PUN用法依然适用，小改动可以接受，核心知识没过时。"

"如果使用较新的Unity版本，可能需要自行处理一些兼容性问题，但整体课程框架是稳定的。"

课程涉及多种高级Unity技术点。

"学到了导航寻路、AI状态机、IK、Shader这些高级功能，对提升游戏品质很有帮助，拓宽了视野。"

"性能优化章节很实用，profiler的用法和优化技巧对我很有启发，能解决实际问题。"

"全局光照和Image Effect让游戏画面效果提升了一个档次，学到了很多渲染技巧。"

"课程内容丰富，涵盖了游戏开发中多个关键的进阶领域。"

学习使用Photon进行多人游戏开发。

"Photon PUN是主流的网络解决方案，课程讲解的很实用，学会了就能开发联机功能，非常关键。"

"之前对网络同步一头雾水，课程里的Photon部分让我茅塞顿开，对网络游戏有了基本认识。"

"虽然网络编程本身复杂，但课程提供了清晰的框架和示例来使用PUN，降低了学习门槛。"

"Photon部分是这门课的核心亮点之一，让我掌握了实用的网络同步技术。"

完成实际项目有助于巩固和应用知识。

"《慕课英雄2》这个实战项目太棒了，边学边做，知识点立马就能用上，非常直观。"

"通过这个课程，我真正理解了如何用Unity和Photon开发一个完整的联机游戏，学以致用。"

"项目的复杂度刚刚好，既有挑战性，又不至于让人望而却步，是很好的实战练习。"

"课程最后的项目让我有机会把学到的进阶技术整合起来，非常有成就感。"

课程难度较高，需要扎实的基础和投入。

"感觉比基础课程难不少，特别是网络同步那块，看了好几遍才懂，还需要自己多练和查资料。"

"这门课确实是进阶，需要对Unity有比较深入的了解，不然跟起来会比较吃力，不适合零基础。"

"有些地方讲得比较快，需要暂停下来自己琢磨和查资料，特别是涉及数学和物理的部分。"

"性能优化和网络同步的代码理解起来比较费劲，需要反复推敲。"
