SDKs

To start working, you should have an SDK installed. In the SDKs tab you can install a new SDK version or add the already installed one.

  • To install a new SDK, you should do the following:
    1. Specify the SDK type in the Edition field (Game or Sim) in the SDKs tab.
    2. Specify the SDK version in the Version field.
    3. Click Install. The installation progress will be shown under the menu at the left. The installed SDK will appear in the SDKs list.

  • To add the already installed SDK, you should do the following:
    1. Click Add Installed in the SDKs tab.
    2. Specify the path to the root folder of the required SDK. It will appear in the projects list.
      Notice
      Only SDKs containing the manifest file (present from the 04/23/2015) are available for adding.

Once the SDK is installed, you can:

  • Create a new project in the Projects tab.
  • Create a project with installed add-ons in the Projects tab.
  • Run built-in demos or samples (UnigineScript, C++ API, C# API).

Notice
It is possible to upgrade the installed SDK if its newer version is available. Simply click Upgrade.

Projects

A project is an independent entity that contains all the data on your application content organized in a set of directories.

There are several ways of working with projects:

  • Create a new project (you should have an SDK installed).
  • Create a project with add-ons (you should have an SDK and add-ons installed).
  • Add an existing project from your local drive (after that, it will be easily accessible from here for editing, upgrade or other actions).

Add-Ons

An add-on is the plugged functionality extension that can be presented as any engine addition: plugin, library, material, etc.

See how to create a project with an add-on here.

The full list of add-ons and their usage is available here.

Samples

The following samples can be found in the Samples tab:

  • Demos - a set of UNIGINE demos and benchmarks that can be converted to a project in order to be modified
  • UnigineScript - a set of UnigineScript demos
  • C++ API - a set of C++ API demos
  • C# API - a set of C# demos
