 Unity comes with a bunch of tools that you have to install from the package manager. This is confusing because they have both an asset store and a package manager. You can install Probuilder, which lets you design, prototype and play-test levels rapidly in the Unity Editor. Unity comes with a bunch of tools that you have to install from the package manager.

 +==== Cameras ====
 +
 +To set a camera's view to be aligned with your scene view, select the camera and in the GameObject menu select "Align with Scene View".

 +===== Reference Frames =====
 +
 +Unity uses left handed chirality.

 +Forward in Unity is the +z axis. 
 +Right is +x, up is +y.

 +==== InputField ====
 +
 +Here's an input field for text set by a button. The script is attached to an empty game object in the scene.

 +    {
 +        theName = inputField.GetComponent<Text>().text;
 +        textDisplay.GetComponent<Text>().text = "Welcome " + theName + " to the game!";
 +    }
 +
 +}

 +
 +==== Rect Transform ====
 +
 +These friggen things. If you press shift and then alt, something happens. Will need to dive into this at one point.

 +===== Debug =====
 +
 +You can format your debug colors!

 +
 +===== Multiplayer =====
 +
 +There multiple ways of doing multiplayer in Unity. Unity used to support a multiplayer system called UNet but it was deprecated in 2019 and removed from the codebase. They have yet to fully roll out their new version. Read about it [[https://support.unity3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001252086-UNet-Deprecation-FAQ|here]].
 +
 +Another option is to use Photon's PUN service. It is free for up to 20 concurrent users and handles matchmaking. There's an official [[https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/pun/v2/demos-and-tutorials/pun-basics-tutorial/intro|written tutorial here]].
 +
 +==== Photon PUN ====
 +
 +=== PhotonView ===
 +A [[https://doc-api.photonengine.com/en/pun/v2/class_photon_1_1_pun_1_1_photon_view.html#details|PhotonView]] identifies an object across the network (viewID) and configures how the controlling client updates remote instances.
