Hi, I’m running on an iMAC, I’ve got Unity version 5.6.1f1 installed, I’'m running through the tutorials and straight away I’ve hit a problem.
In the tutorial it shows a ‘Main’ item in the ‘Assets’ area, I have no ‘Main’, the tutorial seems to be for an older version of Unity, how to I get started?
Thank you,
Welcome to Unity.
‘Main’ is the scene name. Opening a new project or adding a new scene, Unity will create a new scene structure with a camera and a directional light. It’s up to you to name and save the scene. Scene names can be whatever you like and Unity does not require you to use any specific naming convention. The author simply used ‘Main’ as the name of his scene, but could have called it anything else too.
HTH
What Bill said. Basically you deal with these minor differences from version to version by just pressing on. 95% of the time it’s merely a cosmetic change that doesn’t make any real difference.
Thank you, I will revisit now.
The tutorials and guides do not seem to be in any particular order, also the ones that I’ve looked at so far seem to be for different versions of the tools. Is there somewhere where the tutorials are ordered and organised in an order so that someone new to Unity like me can learn the basics of the IDE?
I’m an experience coder, my experience in coding dates back to 1987…I played around as a hobby writing games on the c64, however my experience is mainly in commercial systems with C/C++. I want to get into Unity as I have a project that I need to develop for the DARQI headset.
They’re updating the engine and editor faster than it’s humanly possible to produce videos these days, it seems 
This page is what I recommend programmers look at first:
The live sessions in particular can go deep. Other than that, the tutorials for specific game types also show useful interface tricks.
Thank you, I will take a look
