8. Unity Pro License allowing official deployments As an aside When obtaining Unity License it does not give you a license to deliver over all platforms namely IOS and Android will add further costs to a developer hoping to reach these audiences Critically this should not be seen as a negative as with IOS for example users of IOS often pay for their apps when they appear free on Android 1 3 1 3 Legal feasibility Legally there is little by way of concern due to the game being developed as an original concept In real terms this could be argued through the fact that although there are multiple types of games available free or otherwise the game type has no real definition with respect to the legal implications of naming a genre for example Platformer or Arcade However there is concern to be raised with respect to game title and likeness in that it should not be identified with exactly replicated traits or elements of any game currently available simplified this means one must certainly not pass off other artists work as original and must create the pertinent acknowledgements towards any such outsourced components if the game includes anything by them As is the same with source code correct acknowledgements must be given and licensing restrictions must be adhered to whatever the individual stipulations may be With respect to the above paragraph in terms of addressing original code and artwork references will be made to autho

Unity operates the using namespace statements and it is requirement to add to create working code in Unity using UnityEngine 2 1 3 CH Namespaces Namespaces can be viewed as a tool whereby various types can be correctly organized A conceptualization may allow an easier insight into what a namespace represents For this the reader is invited to imagine a folder structure like that which can easily be seen in any wimp interface for example Windows or OSX These folders allow files to be saved within them and reference is made to their storage location through them This in turn allows one to store an identical file with an identical name in two different folders with different folder titles This is the same concept for namespaces In this context each namespace folder allow classes of the same name to be accessible through its namespace identifier and in turn fully qualifying it as unique A diagram below has been created to assist the reader in visualization with respect to the above discussion As can be seen in the above diagram one can utilize the Namespace structure to access classes interfaces and methods of the same name and type allowing for code reusability in the creation of assembly dll s for example and relying more on the scope convention accessed via a top down approach which instantly avoids naming conflicts Generally namespaces contain classes structs interfaces enumerations delegates and can also be found to contain o

57. e 2 1 6 C Common Influences Instantly upon starting to write code with C one can ascertain its influences to have predominantly developed from C C and Java A fair dichotomy would be to state that it is loosely based on C C and similar to Java with respect to being a language that uses a common intermediary platform to pipeline source code into machine readable language With respect to C C the C language does not have an exclusive class library that it can call its own but instead makes heavy use of the NET Framework which is a comprehensive class library in its own right and is not exclusive to the C language alone C types are similar to C with respect to the available range of basic types but where C relies on the platform to denote the length of the basic types C resolute a fixed length to each type for example a C long type depends wholly on the platform bit type meaning a long could be 32 or 64 bits in length depending on the platform architecture whereas C equates a long type to 64 bits and negates whether the platform architecture is 32 or 64 bit Classes and structs can be seen as practically the same thing in C with respect to them being reference types due mainly to its influence from C whereas C tends to separate the two quite distinctly for instance a C struct cannot contain initializations of a field This is better explained through use of a code diagram As C does not allow the initialization of f
