Classic Reusable Console

Hi

I’m totally new to unity. I have 10+ years of C++ experience and shipped one shareware game in the past. However, I never used a good engine, like Unity, save for my own misguided creations.

I want to make a nice, reusable console for my future projects. I thinking about a Quake style console here. A black, transparent rectangle should scroll from the top of the screen, displaying terminal font strings, with a command line at the bottom. I have no idea how to do it in Unity.

I want to work on this a bit and make it useful. For Ex. I would like to make it work in all supported resolutions and screen aspect ratios consistently. I also want to have an easy way of adding additional commands to my console. I did something like that in C++, in my first and last engine. Now, I want to have this tool handy for future Unity projects.

Something like this?

Yeah. Only I would like it to be inside game, not in the window. Remember Quake? :slight_smile:
