Fundamentals of UI Design

Learn the fundamentals of UI in Unity by creating a menu system and scrollable map with buttons, images, text, input fields and toggles.

In this course we’ll take a look at building a simple menu system to teach you the fundamentals of how UI works within Unity. The User Interface, or UI for short is incredible important for relaying information to players. Creating a menu with text, images, and buttons will help us to understand how everything works and how we can make a simple interactive element for the start of a fictional game. Next we’ll look at input fields and toggles then finish off with a scrollable map. Things you’ll learn in this course include:
