This document provides an introduction to the Unity game development platform. It discusses what Unity is, the platforms it supports, and some of its key features for 2D and 3D game development. It then outlines how to develop games in Unity using its component-based system with game objects and prefabs. Examples are given of how to structure different game entity types like units and buildings using inheritance and polymorphism.
