Unity

friendly development environment. Easy enough for the beginner and powerful

enough for the expert; Unity should interest anybody who wants to easily create 3D games and applications for mobile, desktop, the web, and consoles.
That’s why I want to tell you about this one of the most popular game engine.

web plugins, desktop platforms, consoles and mobile devices.

Unity 1 launched onstage at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2005 by David Helgason, Nicholas Francis, and Joachim Ante.

referred to as JavaScript by the software)

Unity’s IDE, write in the editor the code associated to the assets and then generate a playable application that runs in several different environments, as one of the features of Unity is that it is multi-platform, that is more or less the same game can run similarly on an iPad or on Windows. Because of these features Unity is a popular game engine in video game development.
