Useful GitHub Repos for Unity

News & General Discussion

There are some really useful open source Unity plugins lying around GitHub. Since many are not on the asset store and therefore a bit harder to discover, I thought it would be nice to post some of them here.

What are some awesome Unity GitHub repositories that you know of?

GitHub - anchan828/property-drawer-collection: カスタムプロパティの作品集 A bunch of property drawers, it’s made by one of the Japanese Unity devs, so it’s in Japanese, but there’s screenshots!

GitHub - tenpn/ChestOfPropertyDrawers: A collection of small reusable Unity3D property drawers. Also some property drawers

https://github.com/nickgravelyn/UnityToolbag Lots of small useful editor extensions

GitHub - strangeioc/strangeioc: The IoC/Binding Framework for Unity3D and C# Inversion of control, MVC framework, and event handling system for Unity. Design is inspired from RobotLegs.

GitHub - pixelnest/BulletMLLib: A Unity version of the open source C# library used to read BulletML XML files BulletML ported to C# and Unity-compatible.

GitHub - gfoot/kopiluainterface: LuaInterface adapted to work with KopiLua Lua ported into C#, letting you run Lua inside Unity, with some convenience functions to transfer data easily from Lua to C# and vice-versa. Discussion thread is actually here. It can even run on web builds since it’s all coded in C#!

TouchScript is a multitouch library for Unity. Inspired by iOS, TouchScript makes handling complex gesture interactions on any touch surface much easier.

Full Serializer is an extremely easy to use serializer for Unity that just works. It is as simple as possible but no simpler. It currently ships with a robust JSON parser and printer.

Full Serializer has been designed to support all Unity export platforms, including tricky ones such as the WebPlayer and iOS. Additionally, it has been designed to support full stripping mode on iOS (Full Serializer does not use exceptions).

Best of all, Full Serializer is completely free to use and available under the MIT license!

Here’s what we have so far, a few of our projects are in the works to be cleaned up and open-sourced, like our common libraries and our automated Asset Store build pipeline:

nanosvg-csharp - a fairly direct port of nanosvg for C#, Unity-compatible:
https://github.com/thinksquirrel/nanosvg-csharp

ASInstaller (for Asset Store developers) - an installer for Asset Store projects, for complex code assets that need to support multiple Unity versions and can’t use conditional compilation (for example, when using a DLL). We use it for most of our products:

Here’s some that I’ve come across…

  • A ton of interesting unity projects, but not all them documented well, usually have example scenes.
  • Much easier way to set script execution order without manually doing it in the editor
  • An attribute that let’s you auto-load components, intrigued by it but haven’t tried it myself.
  • More fields, properties, and methods to select from
  • Ability to pass more than one parameter to a method
  • Replacement logging framework for Unity, with a new editor and in-game console

https://github.com/nonathaj/unity-design-patterns

  • In C# examples, useful for newbies to gamedev

https://github.com/AlexSTV/Voxelmetric

  • Cubed Voxels… project is still active.
  • glitched VHS post-processing shader for Unity3D
  • Works with the deferred & forward rendering paths, in gamma or linear color space.
  • A quick GIF replay recorder for Unity3D

Game Framework for Unity will help drastically increase the development speed and feature set of your Unity games. The aim is to provide the features most games need in a flexible and extensible manner, with a minimum of coding, so you can concentrate your effort on making your game unique, rather than having to spend effort creating menus or setting up other basics.

  • Simple setup of worlds, levels, characters and other game items including all the menus that you need.
  • Tracking of scores and progress.
  • Unlockable items.
  • Simple in app purchase.
  • Dialog handling including standard dialog for settings and game over.
  • Advertising support.
  • ‘Free prize’ functionality.
  • ‘Social’ functionality.

  • And more…

It is also available for free on the asset store.
